Modeling Aggregate Manufactured Exports for Some Asian Newly Industrialized Economies
研究亚洲新兴工业化经济体出口快速增长的原因,发现传统模型中的高收入弹性可能掩盖产品差异化和创新对出口需求的影响,并用总资源基础指标捕捉这些效应。
A central question in studies of the Asian newly industrialised economies has been whether the extremely rapid export growth of these countries can be viewed as primarily a phenomenon of income-elastic export demand or of fast-expanding export supply in the face of highly price-elastic demand. This paper provides evidence to show that, while high income elasticities of export demand are detected using a conventional simultaneous model, this may conceal the presence of important product differentiation and product innovation effects on export demand. These are then captured using a measure of the total resource base. Copyright 1995 by MIT Press.
