Has China Displaced Other Asian Countries' Exports?

“…Thus, on first inspection, there is no indication of the PRC "crowding out" its neighbors─the PRC's market share gains has been at the expense of that of the rest of the world, not from the rest of Asia. This observation is consistent with the inferences coming from a number of recent studies that have systematically examined the impact of the PRC's rise in export performance on the other countries in the region (Athukorala 2009, Greenaway at al. 2008, Eichengreen et al 2007).…”

The series deals with key economic and development problems, particularly those facing the Asia and Pacific region; as well as conceptual, analytical, or methodological issues relating to project/program economic analysis, and statistical data and measurement. The series aims to enhance the knowledge on Asia's development and policy challenges; strengthen analytical rigor and quality of ADB's country partnership strategies, and its subregional and country operations; and improve the quality and availability of statistical data and development indicators for monitoring development effectiveness.

Has China de-industrialised other developing countries?

China's opening to trade is interpreted as a shift in world average factor endowments, which altered the comparative advantage of other countries. In the rest of the world on average, this shift lowered the share of labour-intensive manufacturing in the sum of labour-intensive manufacturing and primary output by 1 to 3.5 percentage points, and the corresponding export share by 1.5 to 5 points. The de-industrialising effect varied among countries, and was clearest in East Asia. It was significant, but not big enough to be a serious threat to growth or equity in most other developing countries. AcknowledgementsMauro Caselli provided extensive and excellent research assistance in the compilation and analysis of the data. Alicia Rapin also helped with the data. Valuable advice was received from referees. Useful comments were provided by seminar and conference audiences at Oxford, Sussex, Nottingham, Manchester, Geneva and WIDER.

“…The impact of PRC's emergence on other East Asian countries' export performance has been investigated extensively (Athukorala 2009;Eichengreen, Rhee, and Tong 2007;Greenaway, Mahabir, and Milner 2008;Lall and Albaladejo 2004). These existing studies adopt different approaches, but reach some coherent conclusions, to the effect that East Asian countries face different kinds and intensity of competitive threat from PRC, depending on their particular development stage and location advantages.…”

This paper tries to link various economic studies on related topics, to see how much we understand about production networks in East Asia. After providing a brief overview of international trade statistics, the paper reviews a number of academic papers concerning (i) the structure and mechanics of production networks, (ii) the conditions for production networks, and (iii) the properties and implications thereof.
