Abstract: |
This paper develops a measure of
structural change of a country's exports, and applies it to East Asian
countries. The results suggest that: (1) sizeable changes in the
structural patterns of developing East Asian trade have occurred over
the past decade; (2) the manufacturing sector has been restructured at a
faster pace than primary commodities; (3) in general, intra-regional
trade has been changing more rapidly than global trade; and (4) ASEAN
development consists largely of upgrading industrial structure as
against expansion of traditional exports. |
