摘要：This paper investigates the nature and pattern of export specialization in Lithuania. The aim of this paper is to estimate the nature and pattern of Lithua nian export specialization under the existing conditions. Seeking to define the na_x005f?ture and pattern of export specialization, the basic methods of export specialization measurement and the nature and pattern of export specialization in trade between Lithuania and the EU are determined. For measurement of the pattern of export specialization in Lithuania two approaches are adopted. The index of export spe?cialization is used to determine the pattern of comparative advantage. Secondly, trade dissimilarity index is used to predict structural changes in Lithuanian ex?ports. Using these methods of measurement and standard international trade clas?sification (SITC), the nature and pattern of Lithuanian export specialization was determined. It was found that the biggest flows from Lithuania to the EU are in the following groups: food, drink and tobacco; raw materials; mineral fuels, lubri?cants and related materials. These calculation results show the main directions of nature and pattern of export specialization. This research could be useful for pre?paring and forecasting the possibilities of Lithuanian export developmen.
