OverviewThe growth of China's foreign trade in recent years has been widely attributed to its economic reforms and open door policies. This book outlines the process of China's trade reforms over the past two decades and assesses the impact of these reforms on the economy. The author provides a quantitative analysis to trace China's evolving commodity pattern of trade and changing comparative advantage structure over the entire reform period. Comparison is made between the trade patterns and comparative advantage to reveal the dynamic effects of the recent economic reform on resource allocation efficiency. Full Product DetailsAuthor: X.

Table of ContentsReviews'Xiao-Guang Zhang's new book provides a much-needed empirical study of China's changing trade patterns. Zhang finds that reform has shifted trade flows in the direction of national comparative advantage. He also shows that rapid growth has begun to erode comparative advantage in the labour-intensive manufacturers that powered China's remarkable export surge.' - Professor Thomas G. Rawski, Department of Economics, University of Pittsburgh 'China's Trade Patterns and International Comparative Advantage is the most comprehensive study available of China's evolving pattern of trade. It explains how the increasing openness associated with trade reforms has influenced the structure of domestic prices which, in turn, has led to a growing convergence of China's trade patterns and its underlying comparative advantage.' - Nicholas R.
