Abstract
Before the millennium Hungary's market share in exports of goods was
increasing at the fastest rate in Central and Eastern Europe; however,
after 2000 that growth became the lowest. The slowdown in growth in
Hungary's export market share is mainly due to the stagnating price
index of goods exports. The aim of this paper is to examine whether
this process was caused by reaching an equilibrium or structural
factors.
In the paper the exports of goods structure (by product, country,
technology, skill and intensity), the relationship between export
specialisation and export price indices, and the role of import demand
in specialisation are examined for the Visegrad Group and Romania in
the periods 1995-1999 and 2000-2007. The results imply that the
stagnation of Hungarian goods export prices is partly natural and
partly brought about by structural factors.
