出口复杂度的国外研究进展

A Review of Foreign Research in Export Sophistication

国家出口复杂度反映了一国的出口商品结构,而产业和产品复杂度则在一定程度上反映了该出口产业或出口产品的技术水平以及国际分工地位。研究出口复杂度对于分析国际贸易、国际生产布局、出口结构以及发展中国家的出口竞争力都具有重要意义。近年来国外文献对出口复杂度,尤其是中国出口复杂度问题展开了大量的理论与实证分析。本文从多维视角,总结了国外文献对出口复杂度的定义、测度、异常性与内在作用机制的研究进展,并进行了总结评价。

Export sophistication is a multilevel concept.The nation-level export sophistication reflects the export structure of a country while export sophistication of an industry or a product,to some extent,indicates its technology level and the status in the international division.Researches on export sophistication are of far reaching importance in analyzing export structure,international division of work,international distribution of productivity and national export competitiveness.In recent years,the issue of export sophistication has been widely investigated theoretically and empirically by researchers worldwide and they focus especially on China’s sophistication of exports.This paper reviews from a multi-dimensional perspective the foreign literatures on the definition,measurement,＂Rodrik Paradox＂,and the inner mechanism of export sophistication and evaluates the present foreign researching.
