中国与南亚地区贸易竞争性与互补性实证研究

An empirical study on the competitiveness and complementarity of trade between China and South Asia

利用2000年~2016年UN Comtrade数据库提供的数据,借助显示性比较优势指数和贸易互补性指数,对中国与南亚地区贸易竞争性及互补性进行实证研究。结果表明:中国在工业制成品上存在较为明显的比较优势,南亚地区在初级产品上的比较优势较为明显,两地虽然存在着部分比较优势重叠的商品,但在整体上,中国与南亚地区间的双边贸易仍然有着较强互补关系。

Based on the data provided by the UN Comtrade database from 2000 to 2016,this paper makes an empirical study on the competitiveness and complementarity of trade between China and South Asia through the revealed comparative advantage index and the trade complementarity index.The results show that China has relatively obvious comparative advantages in industrial manufactured products,and South Asia has relatively obvious comparative advantages in primary products.Although there are some commodities with overlapping comparative advantages in the two regions,the bilateral trade between China and South Asia still has a strong complementary relationship on the whole.
