ВЛИЯНИЕ ВЕРХОВЕНСТВА ЗАКОНА И БОРЬБЫ С КОРРУПЦИЕЙ НА НЕСЫРЬЕВОЙ ЭКСПОРТ УЗБЕКИСТАНА: ЭМПИРИЧЕСКИЙ АНАЛИЗ НА ОСНОВЕ ГРАВИТАЦИОННОЙ МОДЕЛИ

This article provides an empirical analysis of the impact of the rule of law and corruption control on Uzbekistan’s non-resource exports. In the context of globalization and increasing international competition, institutional quality has become a key determinant of external trade performance. Using an extended gravity model of international trade and panel data covering the period 2001–2022, the study assesses the effects of institutional indicators, including control of corruption and rule of law, on Uzbekistan’s non-resource export flows. The econometric results demonstrate a statistically significant and robust positive relationship between control of corruption, rule of law and export performance. The findings suggest that further export diversification and a shift toward higher value-added products are unlikely without deepening institutional reforms
