Become more intense in the 1980s, in parallel with globalization movements that make up the world economy, the driving forces of economic growth in the search for macro-economic policies have also changed. The importance of international trade for economic growth was seen years ago and it is a known fact that many theories have been put forward. Classical economists have made various researches around the idea of providing economic growth with international trade theories. In this context, after 1992, the Central Asian countries work in this subject area wanted to complete the transition in the economic sense by structural reforms and economic growth. Therefore, the panel date analysis about the effect of international trade on growth will be examined on Central Asian countries like Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan. In the finding obtained, exports and capital accumulation were found to have a positive effect on growth.

Abstract The main purpose of this paper is to determine and analyse the factors that affected economic growth in the EU’s Eastern Partnership and Central Asian countries in the 2000-2015 period. Economic growth is one of the main targets of economic policy of any country and influenced by various determinants. Of particular interest is the endogenous and exogenous nature of these factors. Having classified these factors into exogenous and endogenous ones, we examined and determined the significance and robustness of various factors influencing the economic growth in these countries, like investment, human capital, research and development, economic policies and macroeconomic conditions, openness to trade, geography, political factors and others. Correlation and factor analysis showed significance and strong association of GDP per capita with physical, human capital, and R&D in EaP countries and with natural resources and active population share in Central Asian countries.

The transition period from the socialist system to the capitalist system is used to describe economies in transition. With the dissolution of the Soviet Union in the 1990s, with Central and Eastern European Countries, the Countries in Central Asia have entered into this process. Central Asian Countries haven’t entered into this process providently a lot in transitional stage. At the end of secession process from the Soviet Union, these countries had only limited industrial plants and natural resources. However, reserves of energy resources that these countries have in their economic growth have been a pusher factor. No doubt, increasing energy consumption has a significant effect in the development of the countries. The main purpose of this study is to test the existence of growth relation and energy consumptions in Central Asian Countries that live the transition period accordingly. This study investigates relationship between economic growth and energy consumption for Central Asian Countries over the period 1990-2010 by using panel data analysis. As a conclusion it is reached that there is a significant correlation between energy consumption and economic growth for these countries.

Abstract Currently, economic growth remains the main criterion of development. However, it does come along with threats to the environment, due to its link to the increased energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. Decoupling can be used to break this link and stop jeopardizing the environment in the favor of economic progress. This paper focuses on the decoupling between economic growth and energy consumption in each of five Central Asian countries – Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan – from 1990 to 2014. The Tapio decoupling model was implemented in order to determine the decoupling states for each country. Gross domestic product (GDP) was used to represent the economic growth, and the total primary energy supply (TPES) described the environmental pressure. These data were obtained from the IKE World Energy Balances. Both the GDP and the TPES of most of the Central Asian countries had a parabolic trend of initial drop and further increase during the timespan analyzed. This observation can be explained by the collapse of USSR and the transition to market economy. The results of the decoupling analysis can be divided into two stages for Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, and into three stages for Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, with several different decoupling states observed during each stage. According to the results, the main decoupling states in Central Asia were expansive negative decoupling, expansive coupling, weak decoupling, and strong decoupling. The analysis showed that there is a serious environmental pressure on the economic development in Central Asia.

Newly Independent States

The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics broke down in 1991 giving birth to 15 Newly Independent States. Soon after independence, all post-Soviet states engaged in reforming their economies by abandoning the Gosplan-style central planning. In their quest for economic growth, all 15 States formed trade unions; however, these trade unions did not lead to any significant regional growth. On the other hand, both group-based and individual microcredit operations, conducted through microfinance institutes succeeded in four out of the five post-Soviet Central Asian Countries. This paper analyzed 43 microfinance institutes in 4 post-Soviet Central Asian Countries and found that there was significant prospect for the development of microentrepreneurship in the region. In order to promote economic growth, the author recommends formation of a consortium of microfinance institutes in the region with membership of all five countries. Further studies are needed to ascertain the growth prospect of the post-Soviet Central Asian Countries through the development of microentrepreneurship.

As an inevitable consequence of globalization in the new world order, economies have become dependent on each other. Country economies are in a position to support international trade in order to finance their problems in the domestic market. In this context, it is known that central Asian countries are trying to increase their production by importing. In addition, central Asian countries have been striving to increase international trade through public spending during the transition period. The studies in the literature have been carried out by considering public expenditures and growth relations. The subject is important in the context of Keynesians' view. The desire of transforming income by natural sources into public investments makes the economies worth to investigate. In this study, central Asian countries Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan as well as Azerbaijan will participate and the effects of public consumption expenditures on export and import will be analyzed through Granger Causality Tests and the results will be evaluated within the scope of the literature.
