Evolving Patterns of International Trade

James Proudman and Stephen Redding

Review of International Economics, 2000, vol. 8, issue 3, 373-396

Abstract: Theoretical models of growth and trade suggest that patterns of international specialization are dynamic and evolve endogenously over time. Initial comparative advantages are either reinforced or gradually unwound with the passage of time. This paper puts forward an empirical framework for modeling international trade dynamics that uses techniques widely employed in the cross‐country literature on income convergence. On applying this framework to industry‐level data, evidence is found for significant differences in international trade dynamics among the G‐5 economies.
