中国与澳大利亚矿产品贸易优势与互补性研究——基于RTA与OBC指标的实证分析

A Study on Comparative Advantage and Complementary Relations of Mineral Products Trade between China and Australia: An Analysis Based on RTA and OBC

本文首先分析了中澳矿产品贸易增长状况与贸易结构;继而利用RTA指标分析了中澳两国矿产品的相对贸易优势;最后,利用双边综合互补性系数考察了2001～2015年间中澳矿产品贸易优势变动中表现出来的实证关系。实证结果表明:基于资源禀赋的差异,中澳的矿产品优势各不相同,澳大利亚的优势更突出,决定了中国与澳大利亚的矿产品贸易长期呈现互补关系,互补性预示着中澳之间的矿产品贸易合作潜力很大。未来中国应通过多种途径加强与澳大利亚的矿产资源合作。

This paper first analyzes Australia’s mineral products trade growth and trade structure.Then it analyzes relative trade advantages of mineral products of China and Australia by using the RTA index.Finally,using OBC index,the paper analyzes the actual trade relations of mineral products between China and Australia.The outcome shows,with differences on resource endowment,mineral product advantages of China and Australia are different.Australia’s advantage is more outstanding.The long-term mineral product trade relations between China and Australia are complementary.Such complementarities show trade cooperation of mineral products between China and Australia has latent force to develop.In the future,China should strengthen cooperation with Australia in mineral resources through various channels.
