@article{2017,title={A LITERATURE REVIEW ON THE INDICES USED FOR MEASURING COMPETITIVENESS WITH POST-TRADE DATA},abstractNode={This study aims at establishing a literature review on the indices used for measuring competitiveness with post-trade data by gathering different indices. Scope of our study includes the measurement methods used for assessing export competitiveness as well as the other methods used for measuring intra-industry trade, export and import concentration ratio and export similarity. Our approach is based on the methodology of scanning the primary resources of national and international studies. First attempt on measuring competitiveness with post-trade data was made by Liesner (1958) and he developed an indice for this purpose. Afterwards, Bela Balassa (1965) improved this indice using different indexes. As Balassa’s approach ignores imports and falls into error of double counting, Thomas L. Vollrath (1991) criticises Balassa’s indices and develops his indices. This study examines the different indices used for measuring competitiveness with post-trade exports and imports.},author={Kazım SARIÇOBAN-- Levent KÖSEKAHYAOĞLU},year={2017},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
