ENThis article provides data-driven analyses of Lithuanian foreign trade activities. We combine Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) and Lauraéus-Kaivo-oja Index (LKI) measures to identify key changes and trends in export and import structures of the Lithuanian economy.

Presented in the form of HHI and LKI time series, our findings and the corresponding conclusions will be relevant to both the Lithuanian export and import industry and to industrial and economic policymakers in Lithuania and in international export and import agencies. Keywords: industrial structure, smart specialisation, Herfindahl-Hirschman Index, Lauraéus Kaivo-oja Index, export portfolios, import portfolios. [From the publication]
