Abstract
From the standpoint of EU enlarged countries, this
empirical study investigates the trade relationship with East Asia via an outlier
approach in export and import time series. The results show the exports in
trial-and-error progress compared to the imports in a developed adjustment. The
outlier patterns clearly demonstrate the divergent trade relationship between
the sample countries. This study makes a contribution to the outlier approach
in the context of international trade. It concludes that the deeper incorporation of EU enlarged
countries into East Asia can lead to significant involvement in the global
supply chain and highlight the sustainability of economic growth.
