International Journal of Maritime, Trade & Economic Issues (IJMTEI), 2013, vol. I, issue 1, 33-48

Abstract: This article examines the empirical determinants of import demand in oil exporting countries. We show by a panel cointegration analysis that the import demand in these countries depends positively on domestic demand and exports, the real exchange rate and oil prices. While the current account balance tends to reduce demand for imports.
