Abstract: It has been over 30 years since New Zealand initiated a trade liberalisation strategy as part of its radical economic reforms. Specifically, trade policies were changed in the early 1980’s and this liberalisation was brought to a halt around 2002. This paper uses revealed comparative advantage indices of 4-digit export categories to explore the changing composition of exports from 1989 to 2018.
