Ekspor merupakan salah satu parameter yang sangat penting untuk diperhatikan, agar suatu negara dapat mengetahui seberapa besar pertumbuhan ekonominya. Udang merupakan salah satu komoditas ekspor yang memiliki peranan penting dalam kontribusi ekonomi Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji kinerja ekspor komoditas udang Indonesia di Amerika Serikat tahun 2009-2017. Komoditas udang yang diteliti dikelompokkan lebih spesifik menjadi tiga jenis produk, yaitu udang beku, udang segar dan udang olahan. Metode analisis adalah Constant Market Share (CMS) digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini berupa data sekunder daritahun 2009 hingga tahun 2017 yang diperoleh dari United Nations Commodity Trade Statistics Division (UN Comtrade) dan International Trade Center (ITC:).Rata-rata pertumbuhan ekspor udang Indonesiasecara umum lebih tinggi daripada rata-rata pertumbuhan ekspor udang dunia. Kinerja ekspor udang beku lebih baik dibanding udang segar dan udang olahan, dilihat dari aspek efek komposisi produk dan dan efek daya saing, namun dari aspek efek distribusi udang beku dan udang segar kalah dibanding dengan udang olahan. Hasil tersebut menunjukkan bahwa udang beku Indonesia memiliki potensi yang sangat besar untuk dikembangkan, walaupun dari aspek distribusi masih lemah (ditunjukkan dengan nilai yang bertanda negatif). Hasil CMS menunjukkan bahwa ekspor udang Indonesia masih berfokus pada udang beku saja, dan kurang memprioritaskan udang segar dan udang olahan. Hal tersebutmenunjukkan bahwa perlu adanya evaluasi baik dari sisi produksi, distribusi dan mutu produk untuk meningkatkan kinerja produk terutama di udang segar maupun olahan. Title: Export Performance of Indonesian Shrimp In the United States During 2009-2017: A Constant Market Share Model Approach  Export is an important sector to calculate the economic growth of the country. Shrimp is one of main commodity that gives significant contribution to Indonesia economic. The research was aimed at analyzing the export performance of Indonesian shrimp in the United States during 2009-2017. Specifically, the shrimps were grouped into three categories, frozen shrimp, fresh shrimp, and processed shrimp. Constant Market Share (CMS) approach was used in this study. This study used secondary data from 2009 to 2017 that were collected from the United Nations Commodity Trade Statistics Division (UN Comtrade) and International Trade Center (ITC). The average growth of Indonesia shrimp was higher than the average growth of the world shrimp exports. The result of CMS suggested that export performance of frozen shrimp was better than the fresh shrimp and processed shrimp based on product composition and competitiveness effect. However, processed shrimp was better than frozen shrimp and fresh shrimp in terms of distribution effect. The result showed that Indonesia shrimp exports were still focused only on frozen shrimp rather than fresh shrimp and processed shrimp. Frozen shrimp had a great potential of development despite of its poor distribution (negative value). This phenomenon suggested a necessary evaluation on the production, distribution, and product quality to improve the product performance especially on fresh shrimp and processed shrimp.

The article analyzes the most important changes that have taken place over the past five years in the dynamics and geographical structure of foreign trade relations of the European Union (EU) as the largest entity in the system of modern international commodity trade. It is shown that, despite such rather unfavorable external factors as the increase in general turbulence in world commodity trade, the expansion of the zone of protectionist and sanctions measures, trade conflicts, the EU was able to maintain its dominant position in international commodity exchange. At the same time, the European Union has pushed the main competitors, as the latest statistics show a significant decrease in the share of the North American free trade Association (NAFTA, consisting of the United States, Canada, Mexico) and Japan in international exports. Continuing to pursue a balanced foreign trade policy, the EU used its traditional instruments not only to increase its activity in general and outside the European region, but also to maintain a positive balance of foreign trade. In addition, there are hopes for the resumption of goodneighbourly trade relations between the European Union and the Russian Federation, which have been complicated in recent years by the introduction and extension of sanctions measures by the EU and Russia's response. The author presents new statistical materials, numerous calculated data, for the first time introduced into the domestic scientific circulation.

Willingness to migrate is a necessary but not sufficient condition for migration from an origin to destination country. For the United States and other countries with an excess supply of immigrants, the slot-rationing rule is a key determinant of immigrant composition not captured by supply-based models. A stylized rationing-based model better explains the attainment of immigrants in both the United States and Sweden with the model's two variables explaining over 50 percent of the variation in origin country education attainment and earnings.
