China's Global Growth and Latin American Exports

No RP2008-104, WIDER Working Paper Series from World Institute for Development Economic Research (UNU-WIDER)

Abstract: China's global expansion has led to concerns amongst other developing country exporters that they will be displaced by Chinese competition in their export markets. The paper develops a new index to measure the extent of the competitive threat which countries face from China, which is then applied to empirical data on US imports from China and 18 Latin American countries. It also presents new estimates of the impact of China on the value of Latin American exports to the US over the past decade, using an extension of constant market share analysis.
