Spatial Approach On The Romanian Foreign Trade

We hereby intend to analyze some aspects of the current evolution of the Romanian foreign trade. We intend a framing of the place held by our country's foreign trade, within the world economy. These aspects are detailed with an analysis of the export structure, on the main commercial partners. We draw a shaping of these commercial flows, with a model of gravitational type, in which we have taken into account the dependency of a series of factors, such as: the size of the partner countries, the physical distance of these countries to Romania, and the commercial costs. In this approach we have taken into account the fact that Romania became a member of the European Union beginning with 1st January 2007, and at the same time, we are pursuing if this event influenced the export flows of our country, besides the specific factors of a model of gravitational type. Following this intention, we used statistical modeling, and in this case we employed different statistical software, such as Minitab and Stata
