The telecommunications equipment industry: Recent changes in its international trade pattern

Werner Neu and Thomas Schnöring

Telecommunications Policy, 1989, vol. 13, issue 1, 25-39

Abstract: Since the early 1980s the world market for telecommunications equipment has been undergoing substantial change. It is claimed that the telecommunications equipment industry is evolving from the old structure in which products were mainly produced for national markets - and if possible also sold to Third World markets - towards a structure with an international division of labour that is more reminiscent of other industries. This paper analyses to what extent this has actually been taking place. It first discusses the causes thought to be at the root of the changes, and then describes the data on the basis of which the analysis is carried out.
