Maize is one of the most important agricultural export products in Hungary. The paper investigates the role of economic crisis and trade costs on the pattern of Hungarian maize exports over the period from 1996 to 2015. The authors employ standard gravity model to explain the drivers of Hungarian maize exports at the world market. The results suggest that on the demand side both importers' market size and the importers' income have positive and significant impacts on Hungarian maize exports. The distance and crisis have negative impacts, whilst the EU membership positively influenced Hungarian maize exports.(original abstract)

Kukurydza jest jednym z najważniejszych produktów eksportu rolnego na Węgrzech. W artykule omówiono rolę kryzysu gospodarczego i kosztów handlowych w kształtowaniu się wzoru węgierskiego eksportu kukurydzy w latach 1996-2015. Autorzy zastosowali standardowy model grawitacyjny, aby wyjaśnić czynniki wzrostu węgierskiego eksportu kukurydzy na rynku światowym. Uzyskane wyniki sugerują, że po stronie popytu zarówno wielkość rynku importerów, jak i ich przychody mają pozytywny i znaczący wpływ na eksport węgierskiej kukurydzy. Odległość i kryzys mają negatywny wpływ, natomiast członkostwo w UE ma pozytywny wpływ na eksport węgierskiej kukurydzy.(abstrakt oryginalny)
