Dynamics of Chinese Comparative Advantage
We analyze the dynamics of Chinese comparative advantage as measured by export shares and the Balassa index using 3-digit and 4-digit sectors for the period 1970 – 1997.

We alternatively use the Balassa RCA index as a measure of comparative advantage. Part I of the analysis docume...

This creates an informational externality since firms take aggregate investments into consideration when making inference about individual workers. The interaction between the informational externality and price effects ...
