Traditionally Handloom sector was the backbone of Indian industry and the essence of Indian civilization and culture. After the evaluation of industrialization the handloom industry is facing stiff competition with power loom and consistently upgrading technology and other industries, nevertheless, the handloom industry has the significant contribution in the India’s international as well as intra-national trade. With this background, the present paper will examine the comparative advantage of Indian handloom industry with respect to global economy by applying the Ballasa (1965) index of Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) and also examine the export competitiveness by using Porter Export competitiveness model, using highly disaggregated data from 2004 - 2013 by using WITS (World Integrated Trade Solution) WTO data set and the export performance of Indian handloom products during 2013-18 from the handloom export promotion council data set. Under the International classification of commodities at six-digit level, there are 21 groups are classified as the handloom products. This paper has calculated and analyzed the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) of all handloom commodities at disaggregate level. Result shows that India has high revealed comparative advantage in almost all the handloom products, it’s in total 22 hand product India has high comparative advantage in 15 products and having a slight disadvantage in only 6 handloom products in studied and analyzed period of subsequent year 2004-2013. However, the export competitiveness indices show also the export advantage edge in handloom products. It shows that there is high potentiality of growth in handloom industry but lagging under capacity it lies behind it. This paper suggests government initiatives for the realization of handloom sector at its optimum level.

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.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the pattern, duration and country-level determinants of global agri-food export competitiveness of 23 major global agri-food trading countries. Design/methodology/approach A large panel data set is compiled to facilitate assessment of the pattern, duration and country-level determinants of global agri-food export competitiveness using a revealed comparative advantage index. Findings The results suggest that the duration of revealed comparative advantage is heterogeneous at the agri-food product level. Long-term survival rates as revealed by the comparative advantage indices are among the highest for the Netherlands, France, Belgium, the USA, Argentina and New Zealand. The level of economic development, the share of agricultural employment, subsidies to agriculture and differentiated consumer agri-food products increase the likelihood of failure in the duration of comparative advantage, while the abundance of agricultural land and export diversification reduce that likelihood. Originality/value The framework is conceptually innovative in how it models the likelihood of failure in the duration of comparative advantage and assesses implications. Export competitiveness is a crucial factor in long-term global farm business survival as it fosters opportunities for business prosperity on global markets.

AbstractResearch purpose. The research purpose is to assess and compare the competitiveness of the EU creative industries’ export.Design/Methodology/Approach. The article is organised as follows: Section 1 presents a short theoretical conception of creative industries; Section 2 presents the theoretical background of trade competitiveness indices; Section 3 introduces the research data set, method and variables; Section 4 discusses the results of the revealed comparative advantage index analysis; and the final section presents the conclusions of the research. It should be noted that the research does not cover all possible factors underlying the differences in the external sector performance and thus may need to be complemented with country-specific analysis as warranted. Methods of the research include theoretical review and analysis, evaluation of comparative advantage indices and clustering.Findings. The analysis revealed that the EU countries may gain competitiveness because of the globalisation effects and the development of creative industries. The increase in the revealed comparative advantage (RCA) index during the period 2004–2017 shows rising EU international trade specialisation in creative industries. According to dynamic RCA index results, France, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia and Spain has competitive advantage in creative industries sectors and could be specified as ‘rising stars’ according to dynamic of their export.Originality/Value/Practical implications. A creative industries analysis is becoming increasingly relevant in scientific research. Fast globalisation growth affects the processes in which closed economies together with their specific sectors are no longer competitive in the market because productivity of countries as well as particular economic sectors depends on international trade liberalisation, technology and innovation. Scientific literature, nevertheless, contains a gap in the area of international trade competitiveness research in creative industries sector.

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.

The termination of the employment relationship between the farmers and the company has changed the shrimp farming pattern in Bratasena Adiwarna. Prior to termination of employment, Bratasena was the largest shrimp exporter in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the competitiveness of Bratasena shrimp exports, after the termination of employment between farmers and companies. In addition, this research also aims to see the contribution of Bratasena shrimp exports in an effort to support the increase in shrimp exports in Lampung Province following the target of Lampung as the National Shrimp Granary. Data obtained by reviewing several primary and secondary documents and in-depth interviews with several sources, namely farmers, the head of the export division of PT. Central Pertiwi Bahari, as well as the Head of the Office of Marine Affairs and Fisheries in Lampung Province. This study uses a quantitative approach with the calculation of RCA (Revealed Comparative Advantage) to find the value of Bratasena shrimp export competitiveness and market share analysis to see the contribution of Bratasena shrimp exports to the increase in fisheries exports in Lampung Province. The results of this study indicate that the export competitiveness value is quite strong for Bratasena shrimp exports and the contribution of Bratasena shrimp exports to fisheries exports in Lampung Province is also quite large. However, after termination of employment between farmers and companies, the value of export competitiveness and contribution of Bratasena shrimp has decreased.

The Relationship

Efficiency, productivity and competitiveness are important indicators of any production process. Speaking of agriculture and, in particular, animal husbandry in the light of sustainable development context, the values of these indicators become of special importance. Since adequate and efficient usage of disposable labour, land and capital can play a crucial role in obtaining and preserving higher efficiency and productivity levels, the natural question arises - does any relationship exist between mentioned production factors and revealed comparative advantage? The main aim of this research is to evaluate the relationship between export-measured productivity and comparative advantages in animal husbandry of selected European countries. The benchmark is provided in relation to the Czech Republic. To analyse productivity of agricultural and, more specifically, animal production in the European countries selected for the analysis (based on available balanced data incorporating the period from 2005 to 2017), a decision was made to trace export performance of these countries recalculated with regard to a unit of core productive factors, such as land, labour and capital. Based on the foreign trade indicators (Gruber Lloyd index, RCA index), cluster analysis was conducted, in which individual calculation was used as an input variable. Subsequently, hierarchical clustering and Ward´s method were used. The evidence from this study suggests that the revealed comparative advantage of the countries is not determined primarily by the level of export-based productivity. The relationship between these variables is rather weak and very often negative, which indicates that productivity indicators do not play a significant role in the overall competitiveness of the monitored countries.

The main objective of the present study was to work out the export competitiveness of Indian mango and policy recommendations for improvement in its export and the destinations as well. To achieve the objectives, various tools such as net terms of the trade revealed comparative advantage, and Markov chain analysis was applied to mango export data from 1999-2019. The estimations of net terms of trade and revealed comparative advantage discovered that India has a comparative advantage for exporting mango. It is evident from the transitional probability matrices developed through Markov chain analysis that Qatar was the most loyal buyer for Indian mango during this period. The attention should be focused on the market requirement and specifications of Qatar, Bangladesh, UAE and the UK as they were the most stable buyers of Indian mango.
