China's Trade Patterns and International Comparative Advantage (Studies in the Modern Chinese Economy)by Zhang Xiao-guang
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This book provides the first comprehensive and quantitative assessment of the impact of reform policies on the Chinese domestic economy at the detailed sectoral level. Beginning with a survey of China's economic reform progress, the author quantitatively measures China's trade performance and the comparative advantage for tradable-good-producing industries over the reform period. Book News Annotation:Zhang (economics, U. of Melbourne) presents an empirical study of
China's shifting trade patterns. He finds that the first two decades
of reform (1978 to 1996) have shifted trade flows in the direction of
national comparative advantage. He also argues that rapid growth has
begun to erode comparative advantage in the labor-intensive
manufactures that once powered China's export surge. Finally, future
trends in the tradable goods producing sector are analyzed.
