Determinants of Imports in Brics Countries

Abstract
BRICS countries have recently been drawing attention with their rapid growth rates and positive macroeconomic variables.While almost all developing countries have been suffering from high import rates and current account deficit problems, BRICS countries seem to have sprung over the predicament. Whether do the BRICS countries follow the more rationale foreign trade policies than the other developing countries? Whether do they lead their imports to provide energy, row material, machinery and technology for theirindustrial production and investment? This study aims to display which sectors of the BRICS countries boost the importof goods and services. For that the relations between the import and the macro economic variables were analyzed by using the panel data method.
