FAE Investiga: Investigación Estudiantil

Taylor Caceus, estudiante doctoral de Negocios Internacionales (UPR-RP), presenta su investigación titulada Borders, Energy Dependence, and Trade Competitiveness: Evidence from Haiti’s Trade Balance Using ARDL-ECM and Structural VAR Models. Haiti's trade deficit has widened despite sustained growth in assembly exports. Using ARDL-ECM and Structural VAR models on 2009–2025 data, this study examines how export composition and petroleum dependence shape the trade balance. In the long run, local primary and domestic industrial exports improve the trade balance more than low-value assembly exports, while petroleum imports significantly worsen it. The deficit is therefore structural, and closing it requires domestic value capture and energy diversification, not export volume alone.
