Abstract

Abstract The paper seeks to understand the pattern of manufacturing exports in 35 developed and developing countries and 99 industrial sectors over the period 1999-2013 using a methodological approach that relies on propositions of the neoclassical trade theory. Next to the impact of traditional factors such as the endowment of public capital, we look at the importance of accounting for public capital heterogeneity, by distinguishing countries based on their proximity to the technology frontier. We consider public capital as a non-rival factor, which has a property of “creation of atmosphere” in a model that treats factor intensity as a mechanism of industrial development. We use the system GMM technique to estimate the elasticities of public capital. Our results show that public capital plays a differentiated role in the capacity to export industrial goods depending on whether countries are far or close to the technological frontier.
制造业出口绩效、公共资本与各国技术前沿接近程度*
本文运用新古典贸易理论的方法论,试图理解1999-2013年期间35个发达国家和发展中国家以及99个工业部门的制造业出口模式。除了公共资本禀赋等传统因素的影响之外,我们还考察了考虑公共资本异质性的重要性,即根据各国与技术前沿的接近程度来区分各国。在将要素强度作为产业发展机制的模型中,我们将公共资本视为一种非竞争性要素,它具有“营造氛围”的性质。我们使用系统GMM技术来估计公共资本的弹性。我们的研究结果表明,公共资本在工业品出口能力中的作用是不同的,这取决于国家离技术前沿的远近。

期刊介绍: International Journal of the Economics of Business presents original, peer reviewed research in economics that is clearly applicable to business or related public policy problems or issues. The term "business" is used in its widest sense to encompass both public and private sector—governmental, private non-profit and cooperative organizations, as well as profit-seeking enterprises. International Journal of the Economics of Business carries papers relating to three main spheres: The organization—to analyse and aid decision making and the internal organization of the business; The industry—to analyse how businesses interact and evolve within and across industries.
