Journal of the Asia Pacific Economy, 1998, vol. 3, issue 2, 237-250

Abstract: This paper uses shift‐share analysis to compare changes in the competitive position of six dynamic Asian economies (DAEs) ‐ Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong ‐ exporting to the USA, Japan and the Economic Union (EU) between 1986 and 1993. Two‐digit data are selected for the top five manufactured exports to the USA and the EU, and the top four in the case of Japan. Our findings support the view that the older DAEs have become less competitive over this period in manufactured goods relative to emerging countries such as Malaysia and Thailand.
