Abstract: Are U.S. manufacturers are losing their advantage in the production of high technology products? The study reported in this article investigates this question with regard to three U.S. industries. The export/import patterns of these industries are examined for the period 1963 to 1974 in order to determine the extent to which export losses were associated with import gains. Japanese export/import performance is examined for the three industries during the same period to provide a point of reference. The findings indicate that for two of the industries U.S. export market losses are not associated with comparable gains in imports, as might be expected if export market losses indicate a shift in competitive advantage. It may thus be necessary to consider other factors when attempting to explain the long-term contraction of the U.S. share of world export markets which has been occurring in some industries.© 1980 JIBS.
