This article assesses the development of wood exports in the Czech Republic (Czechia) and Austria in recent years. Some approaches, such as revealed comparative advantage (RCA), relative trade balance index (RTB), and diversification ratios are used to assess the export performance and competitiveness indicators in these countries. The RCA result reveals that both Czechia and Austria have been competitive in the global wood markets, just as the countries have witnessed positive in RTB within the period under study. Market diversification results indicate that both countries concentrated in few markets (mainly within the EU single market) for exports of wood products. Also, the competitiveness based on the product structure shows that both countries, notably Austria wood product groups have been diversified and mostly processed before exports. In summary, both countries have performed impressively within the period under study even though the time series for the research was short. Nevertheless, there is a need for market export diversification beyond the EU’s single market.

Export sector is considered as the backbone of any economy. The economy which is efficient and competitive in global market enjoys better export performance otherwise become dependence on foreign goods market. Pakistan being a developing economy faces worse export performance as compare to its past competitors and currently economy faces huge current account deficit. The current study made an attempt to check the relationship between Industrial Policy and export diversification using ARDL approach because of different integration nature of variables under consideration from 1980-2018. The findings of the study suggests that there is strong relationship between industrial Policy instruments and export diversification both in short run and long run and by enhancing strong and visionary Industrial Policies and less relying on imports, the economy can enjoy sufficient growth and diversify its export structure.

Since independence, the economy has always suffered from the power struggle between democracy and autocracy, which significantly damaged the economy and gave birth to different economic issues, the export sector being one of the top most affected. Once titled among Asian Tigers, the country’s export overseas yields even to Bangladesh. The current study attempts to analyse the impact of industrial policy on export performance under democracy and autocracy. Many authors and past studies have argued that Pakistan lacks the long-term farsighted industrial policy. The paper considers the industrial policy instruments, import tariff, export subsidy, export rebate, R&D expenditures, industrial expenditures and export processing zone, while export sophistication, export diversification and export competitiveness are used as indicators of export performance from 1980 till 2018. The result of the study indicates that the democracy type of a regime promotes industrialization with expanding export base and competitiveness, while the autocratic type of a regime is helpful in producing sophisticated goods.  The analysis is focused on the descriptive basis by comparing the changes and growth in democracy and autocracy, while the Error Correction Model has been applied to see the adjustment of shocks and structural changes. Export sophistication and export diversification show a significant convergent effect, while export competitiveness demonstrates a divergent relation with our independent variables. The findings suggest that it is of sheer necessary to have a long-term farsighted industrial policy under conditions of stability to attract more and more investment in the economy to sophisticate, diversify and promote competitiveness.

Well-established results indicate that export diversification might be a better growth strategy for an emerging economy as long as its GDP per capita level is smaller than an empirically defined threshold. As average incomes in Russian regions are likely to be far below the threshold, it might be important to estimate their diversification potential. The paper discusses the Atlas of economic complexity for Russian regions created to visualize regional export baskets, to estimate their complexity and evaluate regional export potential. The paper’s results are consistent with previous findings: the complexity of export is substantially higher and diversification potential is larger in western and central regions of Russia. Their export potential might become larger if western and central regions, first, try to join global value added chains and second, cooperate and develop joint diversification strategies. Northern and eastern regions are by contrast much less complex and their diversification potential is small.

The article surveys the literature that emphasizes the importance of comparative and absolute advantages for intra- and inter-industry trade. Two conclusions follow form the survey. First, unlike the traditional view, intra-industry trade is determined rather by technology than by increasing returns. Second, absolute advantages that have been ignored in international trade models for a long time play a vital role through their linkages with product quality and export diversification. We also discuss a new strand of literature that models international trade with the assumption of non-homothetic preferences.
