福建省对外贸易的比较优势及对经济增长的贡献

The Comparative Advantage of Fujian Foreign Trade and Its Contribution to Economic Growth

改革开放以来福建省对外贸易实现了快速增长,但由于不同类型的产品具有的优势不同,因此对经济增长的贡献也不相同。福建省在资源密集型的食品及活动物和资本密集型的机械及运输设备贸易中没有比较优势,在劳动密集型的服装及衣着附件贸易中具有较强的比较优势。同时,这三类产品的同期比较优势和其对福建省GDP的贡献率之间存在着密切的正相关性。如果出现比较优势持续丧失的情况,会增加福建省贸易利益流失的风险。因此,要充分发挥福建省对外贸易的比较优势,促进经济发展。

Since the reform and opening up, foreign trade in Fujian province has achieved rapid growth. As different types of products have different advantages, their contribution to economic growth is also different. Fujian has no com- parative advantage in resource-intensive food and animal, as well as capital-intensive machinery and transportation equipment trade. Fujian has a strong comparative advantage in labor-intensive clothing and clothing accessories trade. At the same time, there is a close positive correlation between comparative advantage of these products and their con- tribution to the GDP in Fujian. If comparative advantage continues to decrease, it will increase the risk of trade inter- ests loss in Fujian. Therefore, it is vital to promote comparative advantage of Fujian foreign trade and accelerate eco- nomic growth.
