“…Hence, the post estimations provide evidence that the model is robust and a good fit for investigating the impact of exports and technology on the economic growth of the selected emerging Asian countries. Thus, the result is robust and support the empirical literature of Santos-Paulino (2011) andMeijers (2014).…”

Recent studies regarding the impacts of technology spillover and international trade have gained momentum in the emerging economies. Empirical evidences show that some countries gain and other loss to grasp the opportunities of international trade and technological innovation to compete in the global market. This paper examines the effect of export and technology on the economic performance of emerging Asian countries, using the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) model between the periods 2000-2016. Following the Solow economic growth model, the result identifies a positive and significant effect of export and technology on the economic growth of the emerging Asian economies. Similarly, the long-run estimation ascertains the significant and positive impacts of trade and technology on the economic growth of the countries. The results are robust using alternative dynamic panel models, representing the pivotal role of export and technology to the economic growth of the countries. Thus, we recommend policymakers to device attractive policies that can enhance the advancement of technology and trade to maintain sustained economic growth. This would also fasten the internationalisation process and enable to compete efficiently in the global markets in terms of quality of exports and standardisation.

Does export upgrading really matter to economic growth? Evidence from panel data for high‐, middle‐ and low‐income countries

The main objective of this study is to examine the long‐run relationship between export upgrading and economic growth for 67 countries over the period of 1984–2013. For this purpose, a panel cointegration framework that allows to control for parameters heterogeneity, cross‐sectional dependence and non‐stationarity has been deployed. Empirical results yield evidence of a positive and significant effect of export upgrading on economic growth for the full‐sample and high‐income panels, while this effect is negative and significant for low‐income countries and insignificant for middle‐income countries. Particularly, our findings show evidence of an inverted U‐shaped relationship for the global and high‐income panels. However, for low‐income countries relationship between export complexity and economic growth was found to be U‐shaped. These results are robust to several robustness checks and have important policy implications. In developed countries, excessive export complexity may be job‐destructive, and thereby threatens long‐run growth and prosperity. For non‐developed countries, exports' diversification should be prioritized during the first stages of development. Industrial upgrading should not be considered as a strategic economic policy before the economy reaches a minimum level of maturity.

“…Finally, they suggest that challenges created by China in traditional labour‐intensive products might reduce in the long run because of its changing export structure with the export of skill‐intensive and high‐technology products increasing and those of labour‐intensive products gradually decreasing. More recently, Santos‐Paulino () has analysed the patterns of export productivity and trade specialisation profiles in CIBS by estimating trade specialisation indexes at a highly disaggregated industry‐export sector level. The empirical findings show important differences in the specialisation patterns across countries and regions underlining that export sophistication is in line with that of wealthier and more advanced economies.…”

“…A number of channels are commonly considered in assessing the impact of CIBS dynamism (Kaplinsky and Messner, ; Nenci, ; Nayyar, ; Santos‐Paulino, ). However, as Winters and Yusuf () put it, international trade is arguably the strongest and most direct.…”

The Trade Competitiveness of Southern Emerging Economies: A Multidimensional Approach Through Cluster Analysis

This paper investigates the trade competitiveness of the new emerging Southern economies – China, India, Brazil and South Africa (CIBS) – with respect to their main global partners. Starting from the commonly held view that countries with trade patterns similar to those of emerging countries are likely to suffer losses, we propose a multidimensional approach based on cluster analysis, both crisp and fuzzy, as an alternative strategy for assessing similarity in global trade patterns. On the basis of key trade characteristics drawn from the diverse strands of trade theory, we assess the relative position of CIBS within global trade patterns and their evolution over time. Unlike previous studies, our results do not support the hypothesis of the presence of a competitiveness threat from Southern emerging countries towards the main industrialised economies.
