Abstract: Share analysis was Performed for the periods of 1967-1972 and 1972-1977 to determine the source of the slow rate of growth of American exports vis-a-vis exports of all members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Although share analysis is subject to several theoretical and practical limitations, the conclusions indicated clearly that, during these periods assessed, the relatively slow rate of increase for American exports was attributable mainly to a loss of market share rather than to export structure or mix. So it may be concluded that if a faster rate of growth for America exports is to be realized, the united States should continue efforts to raise the competitiveness of American goods in international market and—perhaps more importantly—to provide special incentives to firms that increase export sales in performance to alternative forms of business expansion.© 1979 JIBS.
