“…Utilising econometric analysis they compute a significant displacement effect in the US and European Union (EU) markets. This accords with other analyses of China-Africa trade relations (Kaplinsky and Morris, 2008). However, they take the argument further by also showing the growing displacement by China of African producers in intra-regional trade.…”

“…For example, Kaplinsky and Morris (2008) assert that the dominance of China in sectors such as textiles and clothing that serve traditionally as early sectors for industrialization not only precludes gains by other emerging countries but shuts down opportunities for less-developed countries even thinking about embarking on an exportled growth strategy in these sectors. Indeed, our results show that China's dominance in textiles (now a fifth of total Chinese exports) is due in large part to the contribution of non-price factors.…”

The highly disaggregated dataset covers the period 1996−2011 and is based on the standardised 6-digit Harmonized System (HS). Our method highlights notable differences in non-price competitiveness across markets. China shows a huge gain in international competitiveness due to non-price factors. Similarly, Brazil, Chile, India and Turkey show discernible improvements in their competitive position when accounting...

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.
