This study seeks to investigate the export competitiveness of Malaysian furniture product through the application of a collection of methods, which includes Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), Constant Market Share (CMS) and Shift Share. SITC 821, which represents the furniture product under the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) for the period between 2000 and 2011, has been taken into consideration. The RCA method reveals that is an escalation in the countries competitive advantage of furniture product. The results from CMS method indicate that export gain of Malaysian furniture product is to a great extent a result of the size of the market as well as its competitive effect. Furthermore, CMS analysis also illustrates there has been significant improvements in the furniture industry throughout the given period which are Period I and II, Period and II and III and Period III and I. Additionally, shift share analysis shows that countries such as Brunei, Algeria, Norway, Lebanon and Korea are the major markets with the greatest potential. However, major challenges, in terms of competition, still exist mainly with Asian countries.

Export Competitiveness

With the gradual reduction in trade barriers led by the process of globalisation, more emphasis is now being placed on promoting export competitiveness. Asia is the home of many of the world’s top rice exporters. The food-price crisis has divided Asia into “rice haves” and “rice have-nots”. In order to describe the processes involved in securing and maintaining international competitiveness in rice exports, the present study has used the Balassa and White indices of revealed comparative advantage and revealed competitive advantage respectively. Results have revealed that Pakistan is the most competitive country in rice trade and ranks first in both agricultural product trade and total merchandise exports.

This paper investigates the nature and pattern of export specialization in Lithuania. The aim of this paper is to estimate the nature and pattern of Lithuanian export specialization under the existing conditions. Seeking to define the nature and pattern of export specialization, the basic methods of export specialization measurement and the nature and pattern of export specialization in trade between Lithuania and the EU are determined. For measurement of the pattern of export specialization in Lithuania two approaches are adopted. The index of export specialization is used to determine the pattern of comparative advantage. Secondly, trade dissimilarity index is used to predict structural changes in Lithuanian exports. Using these methods of measurement and standard international trade classification (SITC), the nature and pattern of Lithuanian export specialization was determined. It was found that the biggest flows from Lithuania to the EU are in the following groups: food, drink and tobacco; raw materials; mineral fuels, lubricants and related materials. These calculation results show the main directions of nature and pattern of export specialization. This research could be useful for preparing and forecasting the possibilities of Lithuanian export development.

The aim of this study is to examine the export performance and competitiveness of Pakistan's toy exports by using different indices of revealed comparative advantage. The data were looked at from the International Trade Centre (ITC) for Pakistan’s toys exports during 2004-2020. The results of this study show that Pakistan enjoyed a comparative advantage in exporting toys to the world market during 2004-2020, because the RCA index is greater than 1. The positive values of RSCA and LnRCA indicate that Pakistan had a CA in the concerned sector during 2004-2020. The study also observed that Pakistan had a competitive advantage by employing Vollrath index (RCA#). In addition, the revealed competitiveness index (RC) indicates that Pakistan experienced competitiveness in the toy export sector. The RMA index shows that Pakistan also enjoyed a comparative advantage in the imports of toys during 2004-2020. This means that Pakistan also imports these products from other economies of the world. The index of RTA describes that Pakistan had a net comparative advantage in this sector during analysis. TBI illustrates that Pakistan is the net-exporter in the toys and games sector in the global economy. Pakistan's toy manufacturers need to find new innovative and technologically advanced methods to stimulate domestic toy production and exports.

Coffee has been one of the mainstay products for Indonesia's exports to Germany since the last time and the frequency continues to increase. This reflects that Germany's need for coffee continues to grow. This study aims to measure the position of Indonesia's coffee export competitiveness in Germany. The method used in this research are Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) and Constant Market Share (CMS). The results showed that Indonesia's coffee exports were not competitive in Germany and had a downward trend. The export performance of Indonesian coffee in Germany also shows a downward trend in each period. Several things that need to be improved so that the competitiveness and performance of Indonesia's exports can increase is by disseminating information regarding the use of cultivation technology to increase the productivity of Indonesian coffee.

In this paper, primarily the export specialisation pattern of Vietnam has been examined from the perspective of domestic value added exports. In addition, an effort has been made to identify presence of exaggeration in gross exports measures of industries level competitiveness. Empirical findings suggest that the export specialisation of Vietnam has reversed, and there is presence of exaggeration in the estimates of comparative advantage of ‘human capital and technology intensive’ industries that has also caused in ballooning up their shares in gross exports. Such pattern has arisen because intra-industry trade has become increasingly significant in Vietnam. Received 11th March 2019; Revised 17th October 2019, Accepted 20th October 2019

This paper collects the data of China’s aquatic products from 2002 to 2018 and studies the relationship between the production agglomeration and export competitiveness of aquatic products. This paper calculates the production Concentration Rate (CR) which reflects the degree of agglomeration of aquatic products and the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) index which reflects the export competitiveness of aquatic products, and then uses variable intercept model with fixed effects to empirically analyze the impact of production agglomeration of three main aquatic products (fish, crustacean and shellfish) on the export competitiveness. The results show that there is an obvious phenomenon of production agglomeration of aquatic products in China. Overall, the improvement of production agglomeration of aquatic products is conducive to the promotion of export competitiveness.

AbstrakTekstil dan Produk Tekstil (TPT) adalah produk ekspor utama Indonesia dan Vietnam. Penelitian ini  bertujuan menganalisis daya saing ekspor TPT Indonesia dan Vietnam di pasar AS dan RRT. Metode yang digunakan adalah Constant Market Share Analysis (CMSA), Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), dan Model Ekonometrika (Fixed Effect Model). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa produk TPT Indonesia dan Vietnam tidak mempunyai daya saing kuat di pasar RRT, tetapi keduanya memiliki daya saing kuat di pasar AS. Pengembangan ekspor TPT Vietnam lebih terkonsentrasi di pasar RRT, sedangkan Indonesia lebih terkonsentrasi di pasar AS. TPT Indonesia mampu beradaptasi di pasar RRT dan AS, sedangkan TPT Vietnam hanya mampu beradaptasi di pasar RRT. Daya saing TPT Indonesia dan Vietnam di pasar AS dan RRT sangat dipengaruhi oleh Penanaman Modal Asing (PMA) manufaktur negara asal. Daya saing TPT Indonesia sangat dipengaruhi Produk Domestik Bruto (PDB) negara tujuan, sedangkan Vietnam sangat dipengaruhi oleh faktor nilai tukar riil, tarif, PDB negara tujuan dan PMA manufaktur Vietnam. Untuk meningkatkan daya saing ekspor TPT, Indonesia perlu memperhatikan PMA manufaktur negara asal dan PDB negara tujuan. AbstractTextile and Textile Product (TPT) are the main export products of Indonesia and Vietnam. This study examined the competitiveness of Indonesian and Vietnamese TPT in the US and PRC markets by using the CMSA, RCA methods and the Fixed Effect Model. The result showed TPT products from Indonesia and Vietnam do not have strong competitiveness in the PRC market, but they are highly competitive in the US market. The TPT export from Vietnam is mostly concentrated in the PRC market, while TPT from Indonesia was in the US market. Indonesian TPT is able to adapt in both PRC and US markets, while the Vietnamese TPT is only able to adapt in the PRC market. The competitiveness of Indonesian and Vietnamese TPT in the US and PRC markets is strongly influenced by the home country's FDI manufacturing. Indonesia's TPT competitiveness is strongly influenced by the GDP of the destination country, while Vietnam is strongly influenced by the factors of real exchange rates, tarrif, GDP of destination countries and Vietnam's FDI manufacturing. To improve the competitiveness of TPT export, Indonesia needs to give a great concern toward FDI manufacture and GDP of US and PRC.
