Abstract:
This paper examines the mutual trade relations and looks at the behavior of trade flows between Yemen and member countries of the European Union (EU) and United States of America (USA) during the period of 1991 to 2004. In addition, this study tries to identify the comparative advantage of Yemen relative to EU and USA and the possibilities of increasing the Yemen’s export to the above mentioned trade partners. According to the results of the empirical analysis we found that, Yemen has a comparative advantage in relation with EU and USA in a few of commodities (about 5 to 7 commodities), like petroleum and petroleum products (SITC-33) and Fish & crustacean, mollusc & other aquatic invertebrate (SITC-03) etc.
