Abstract
Looking at diplomatic visits and trade between the EU27 and China during the period of 2001-2019, this thesis analyses the degree of correlation between these two variables on a country-to-country and annual basis. A further cross-sectional analysis looks at how a variety of sub-factors influence the overall degree of correlation between both variables. It finds that there is a high degree of correlation between trade and diplomatic across a series of different aggregation models. However, it notes that there are a number of caveats to this high degree of correlation, particularly related to the degree of correlation over time and how directionality (import/incoming visits vs exports/outgoing visits) can impact the degree of correlation.
