“…The obtained results on the role of specialisation are in line with Naudé, Bosker, and Matthee (2010) showing positive impact of trade specialisation on local economic growth, basing on the example of magisterial districts in South Africa. They also fit into the picture of trade inequalities observed in Poland by Nazarczuk and Umiński (2018).…”

In this paper we discuss relationship between export diversity and economic performance, focusing on Brazil, China, India and South Africa (BCIS). Using time data on exports over the period 1962–2000 and Applied General Equilibrium (AGE) models for each country, we note the similarities as well as differences in the patterns of diversification in these countries. We find evidence of a U-shape relationship between per capita income and export specialization in at least China and South Africa, and given that the results from Granger causality testing are inconclusive and not robust with regards to export diversification measures, some preliminary evidence from the results suggest that export diversification Granger causes GDP per capita in Brazil, China and South Africa, but not in India, where it is rather GDP per capita changes that are driving export diversification. From AGE modeling we find that South Africa differs from the other economies in that it is the only case where export diversification has an unambiguously positive impact on economic development while in contrast in Brazil, China and India, it is rather export specialization that is preferred. We show that the manner in which export diversification is obtained may be important: if it is obtained with less of a reduction in traditional exports, the impacts are better (less negative).

“…This is because attempting to diversify the economy's export base beyond what fundamentals dictate results in an inefficient allocation of resources. However, it can be argued that while export specialization may be important for efficiency and growth, it does matter what the nature of specialization is (Naude, bosker & Matthee, 2010). For instance, export specialization is positively related to growth, and the strength of the link varies with each sector of specialization (Greenaway, Morgan & Wright, 1999).…”

Ricardo Argüello argüello, r. (2017). Trade diversification in Colombia, 1991-2011. Cuadernos de Economía, 36(71), 345-378.In this paper we describe the evolution of international trade and the behaviour of export diversification in colombia during the 1991-2011 period. In order to measure trade diversification and follow its behaviour throughout the period, we employ alternative ways of decomposing trade flows in their intensive and extensive margins, using the latter as a measure of diversification. The results indicate that trade diversification in colombia is relatively limited, and seems to follow a pattern according to which exports are diversified mainly through increases in the number of products rather than in the number of partners. At the same time imports tend to diversify mainly by increases in the number of countries of origin rather than by the number of products. Furthermore, trade with upper middleincome countries seems to be an important driver of trade diversification. En este artículo se describe la evolución del comercio internacional y el comportamiento de la diversificación de este en colombia durante el período 1991-2011. Para la medición de la diversificación del comercio y su seguimiento, se emplean formas alternativas de descomponer el comercio en sus márgenes intensivo y extensivo, empleando estos últimos como medida de la diversificación. Los resultados indican que la diversificación del comercio es relativamente limitada y que parece seguir un patrón de acuerdo con el cual las exportaciones se diversifican principalmente mediante un mayor número de productos, mientras que las importaciones lo hacen principalmente a través de un mayor número de países de origen. Además, el crecimiento del comercio con países de ingresos medios altos parece ser un determinante de este patrón.
