Revealed Comparative Advantage Index

The development of trade research plays an important role in enhancing the understanding of the trade relationship structure, evolution and relevant driving factors. While there is little research on analyzing and visualizing bilateral trade patterns and the evolution of numerous kinds of commodities. In this paper, we respectively calculate revealed comparative advantage index (RCAI) of each traded commodity of China and USA in 2017. Then the RCAI of thousands of commodities have been mapped to a two-dimensional space and visualized in a grid system by using digital trade feature map method. On that basis, bivariate local spatial auto-correlation features between China – USA have been comprehensively depicted.

Artikel ini akan menganalisis potensi perdagangan bilateral antara Indonesia-Paraguay berdasarkan daya saing ekspor masing-masing. Tulisan ini dalam analisisnya menggunakan Comparative Advantage Index untuk tahun 2012 yang diperoleh dari World Integrated Trade Solution (WITS). Makalah ini mengungkapkan bahwa ada peluang besar bagi kedua negara untuk lebih memperkuat hubungan perdagangan bilateral. Berdasarkan analisis RCA Index, diungkapkan bahwa secara umum kedua negaratelah mengekspor komoditas mereka berdasarkan keunggulan komparatif masing-masing, namun bagaimanapun ekspor kedua Negara saat ini tidak mencerminkan potensi mereka,  Paraguay (tidak untuk Indonesia) yang sepuluh komoditas unggulannya dengan keunggulan komparatif yang kuat tidak dapat menembus pasar kedua belah pihak. Studi ini menyarankan kedua Negara harus menghapus hambatan perdagangan mulai dengan menyediakan akses untuk 10 komoditas ekspor dengan keunggulan komparatif kuat untuk masuk di kedua negara. Langkah ini bias menjadi batuloncatan menuju penguatan hubungan perdagangan bilateral.   This paper attempts to analyze the Indonesia-Paraguay bilateral trade potentials based on their respective export competitiveness. The analysis uses the Revealed Comparative Advantage Index for year 2012 obtained from World Integrated Trade Solution (WITS). The paper reveals that there are huge opportunities for both countries to further strengthen bilateral trade relations. Based on the RCA Index analysis, the paper revealed that in general both countries have exported their commodities based on their respective comparative advantages, but however both countries current exports still do not reflect their potentials as most for Paraguay (none for Indonesia) of the top ten commodities with the strongest comparative advantage were unable to penetrate both sides market. This study suggests both countries should remove trade barriers starting by providing access for the top 10 export commodities with the strongest comparative advantage to penetrate in both countries. This step could be a stepping stone towards strengthening bilateral trade relations.

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the competitiveness and orientation of Brazilian and Beninese cotton exports in international trade from 2006 to 2018. The cotton category in this article refers to “neither carded nor combed” (HS: 5201). To measure competitiveness, we chose to calculate the Revealed Comparative Advantage Index (RCAI) and Symmetric Revealed Comparative Advantage Index (SRCAI), proposed by Balassa (1965) and Laursen (1998) respectively. The Regional Orientation Index (ROI), proposed by Yeats (1997), of cotton for Asia and EU-28 is used. The data were collected from the International Trade Center (ITC) /Trade Map and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The results found indicate that the Brazilian’s and Beninese’s cotton has been increasing values and above the unit showing its competitiveness in the international market. In addition, Benin was more competitive than Brazil because it has, on average, a higher SRCAI than Brazil (0.99 and 0.7 respectively). Concerning the ROI, it was found that Brazilian and Beninese cotton exports are strongly directed towards Asia, the main consumer market for Beninese and Brazilian cotton. As for the EU-28, both Benin and Brazil do not direct their cotton sales to this economic block.

Purpose In the recent international scenario, the rise of emerging economies, in particular, Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) has gained ample of attention. The global trade flows of the BRICS countries have significantly increased during the last one-and-a-half decade. The purpose of this paper is to examine the intra-BRICS and BRICS–EU trade flows. Design/methodology/approach To study the intensity of trade among BRICS countries and with EU, the Trade Intensity Index is employed for the period 2001–2015. Balassa’s revealed comparative advantage (RCA) index is computed for the assessment of comparative advantages of exports by BRICS countries in the year 2015 in the global markets. A comparative analysis of export similarity is done for India and other BRICS countries in EU. Findings The findings of trade intensity showed large bilateral trade flows among BRICS member. Russia has emerged as the main trading partner with EU in BRICS. For the year 2015, the comparative study of RCA at HS-two digits and HS-four digits classification highlights marginal structural changes in the export composition of these countries. The analysis revealed that Brazil and Russia have comparative advantages in natural resource-based products, while India and China possessed comparative advantages in manufactured and processed products. The export similarity index shows the presence of competition between India and China in EU. Practical implications This paper highlights the need for closer cooperation to promote intra-BRICS trade and to make structural transformations in the basket of trading products by them to have trade benefits at large. Originality/value Numerous studies are available on bilateral trade of BRICS members. However, limited studies are available to get a holistic view of intra-BRICS trade. This paper is an attempt to examine the BRICS countries trade profile both at global levels and within the group.

O Brasil vem aumentando cada vez mais a sua participação no mercado mundial de flores. No Ceará, a floricultura ganha impulso a partir da década de 1990. Por sua vez, São Paulo, tem a maior produção de flores para exportação do país. Desta forma, surge o questionamento acerca do comportamento do segmento no mercado de exportação de flores. Assim este trabalho tem por objetivo geral analisar de forma equiparativa a evolução das vantagens comparativas dos estados do Ceará e São Paulo no comércio mundial de flores entre 1997 a 2014, A metodologia consiste no cálculo do Índice de Vantagem Comparativa Revelada de Vollrath. A base de dados foi obtida do MDIC/SECEX com informações sobre receita e quantidades exportadas da floricultura dos dois estados exportadores. Os resultados mostram que no final da década de 1990 o Ceará, até então, não era considerado um estado produtor competitivo. Contudo, a partir dos anos 2000, o mesmo avança a sua participação em relação aos demais estados brasileiros exportadores desse segmento, chegando à posição de segundo lugar em exportações totais de flores, ficando somente atrás de São Paulo que é considerado o primeiro exportador desse segmento.ABSTRACT Brazil has increased more and more to your participation in the world market. Historically, the State of São Paulo is the largest national producer and exporter of flowers and derivatives. However, in the State of Ceará floriculture, enlarges your participation within exporter from   1990, showing increasing levels of market share in exporting trade. In this way, the question is about the behavior of the Brazilian Export segment. This article aims to analyze the general trend of comparative advantages of the States of Ceará and São Paulo in world trade of flowers between the years of 1997 to 2014. The methodology consists in calculating the Vollrath’s revealed comparative advantage index. The database was obtained through the MDIC/SECEX with information about revenue and quantities exported flowers of the two states analyzed. The results show that the Ceará increased participation in scenario exporter from  2000, obtaining the second position in total revenue of flower’s exports. These results, coupled with the higher relative presence in exporting trade, allowed the Ceará widen your competitiveness in  the trading of flowers in the recent period. Keywords: agribusiness, floriculture, Vollrath’s revealed comparative advantage index.

This paper describes specialisation dynamics in Estonian export using revealed comparative advantage (RCA) and intra-industry trade (IIT) measures. We analyse the development of the distribution of comparative advantage using descriptive statistics and Galtonian regression. Intra-industry trade dynamic is analyzed using a marginal approach. We generally observe a stable specialization structure of Estonian exports in 2006-2011, along with some changes in specialization in the years following that. Based on the analysis of the RSA index and the Galtonian regression, we can make the conclusion about the diversification of the specialisation structure. The most important component of trade expansion in Estonia within the considered time period is the intra-industry trade. In 2016-2020 there was a significant increase in the specialization shift component in trade dynamic, which indicates the structural changes in Estonian exports. The most essential structural changes during the last five years occurred in such commodity sectors as food and live animals, animal and vegetable oils, as well as machinery and transport equipment, which were caused by the increasing share of specialization shift.
