This study investigates the structural evolution and determinants of the electric vehicle lithium-ion battery trade network among European Union (EU) member states from 2012 to 2023, employing social network analysis and the multiple regression quadratic assignment procedure method. The findings demonstrate the transformation of the network from a centralized and loosely connected structure, with Germany as the dominant hub, to a more interconnected and decentralized system in which Poland and Hungary emerge as the leading players. Key network metrics, such as the density, clustering coefficients, and average path lengths, reveal increased regional trade connectivity and enhanced supply chain efficiency. The analysis identifies geographic and economic proximity, logistics performance, labor cost differentials, energy resource availability, and venture capital investment as significant drivers of trade flows, highlighting the interaction among spatial, economic, and infrastructural factors in shaping the network. Based on these findings, this study underscores the need for targeted policy measures to support Central and Eastern European countries, including investment in logistics infrastructure, technological innovation, and regional cooperation initiatives, to strengthen their integration into the supply chain and bolster their export capacity. Furthermore, fostering balanced inter-regional collaborations is essential in building a resilient trade network. Continued investment in transportation infrastructure and innovation is recommended to sustain the EU’s competitive advantage in the global electric vehicle lithium-ion battery supply chain.}, year = {2025}, eissn = {2071-1050}, orcid-numbers = {Szakálné Kanó, Izabella/0000-0002-4149-1243; Hu, Jianhao/0000-0002-1925-5666} } @article{MTMT:34813419, title = {Middle Income Trap, Convergence Analysis and Long-Term Economic Growth of China}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34813419}, author = {Yang, Liqiao}, doi = {10.46609/IJSSER.2024.v09i04.004}, journal-iso = {IJSSER}, journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCE & ECONOMIC RESEARCH}, volume = {9}, unique-id = {34813419}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2455-8834}, pages = {963-974} } @article{MTMT:35481849, title = {Dynamic interactions among exchange rate, natural gas demand, production in manufacturing and battery industry export – evidence from Hungary}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/35481849}, author = {Yang, Liqiao}, doi = {10.21637/GT.2024.1.02}, journal-iso = {GAZD TÁRS}, journal = {GAZDASÁG ÉS TÁRSADALOM}, volume = {17 (35)}, unique-id = {35481849}, issn = {0865-7823}, abstract = {In the context of the current global economic transformation, the rapid rise of the electric vehicle industry has made the battery industry a new focus of competition among countries. Despite its relatively small economic and demographic size, Hungary has garnered significant academic interest by emerging as the world’s third-largest battery producer in 2021. The study employed a dynamic vector autoregressive (VAR) model to determine that fluctuations in the Hungarian exchange rate have a notable immediate influ-ence on exports in the battery business,which suggests that changes in exc-hange rates directly affect international competitiveness. The battery sector is experiencing a progressive increase in the influence of fluctuations in na-tural gas demand, particularly in terms of their impact on production costs and supply chains. The battery industry has had substantial advancements in technological innovation and production efficiency as a direct result of the expansion in manufacturing production. And Hungary’s total industrial development is significantly influenced by the long-term effects of export expansion in the battery industry.
