In pursuit of this objective, causality relationships among the variables were examined using the bootstrap panel causality test with data 2006-2021. The analysis findings indicate a positive and bidirectional causality relationship between the connectivity to global maritime networks and exports in Brazil and a positive and unidirectional causality relationship from the connectivity to global maritime networks and exports in T & uuml;rkiye. Regarding the relationships between the connectivity to global maritime networks and imports, the analysis findings reveal a negative and unidirectional causality relationship from imports to the connectivity to global maritime networks in China, India, and Russia. However, in T & uuml;rkiye, a positive and unidirectional causality relationship was identified from the connectivity to global maritime networks to imports.en10.1016/j.cstp.2024.101242info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessLiner shipping connectivity index (LSCI)Maritime transportExportImportDeveloping countriesBootstrap panel causality testLagrange Multiplier TestEconomic-GrowthLogistics PerformanceTransport CostsMaritime TransportEmpirical-EvidencePort EfficiencyExportConnectivityImpactArticle172-s2.0-85195561249WOS:001253194900001Q1N/A
