文摘Based on the inter-industrial and intra-industrial theories and by analyzing data from 1992 to 2002 of Sino-Japanese and Sino-American trades,this paper estimates the competitiveness of Chinese products and the evolution of China’s intra-industrial trades with Japan and U.S. It is found that in bilateral trades with these two countries,China has similar comparative advantage and disadvantage in many products,and presents an increasing trend in certain number of products,especially industrial ones.While inter-industrial trade plays a major role in China’s trade with both Japan and U.S,the intra-industrial scale is enlarging.It should also be noted that Sino-American trade scale is significantly larger than that of Sino-Japanese trade.
文摘Firstly,the paper explains why the conventional trade statistics based on the residence is no longer correctly describe the true situation of the receipts of the trade partners and why it is reasonable to introduce the so-called comprehensive statistics including both of the cross-border trade and foreign affiliates’local transactions based on ownership.Secondly,several models of transaction flows are put forward in the theoretical analysis,and the problem of unavailability of data needed by empirical studies is discussed.Finally,suggestions are made to the authority on how to reconstruct China’s trade statistics system in order to solve the problem above.
