Measures of Comparative Advantage

2 Outline 1.Defining measures 2.Some tests and examples

3 1. Defining Measures 1.1. Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) BALASSA where X are exports, i a country, j a set of goods This index compares the share of exports of good j of country i to the share of the same exports in world exports. RCAB>1 : comparative advantage.

RCA from own imports and exports RCAXMj = (Xj/Mj)/(X/M) RCAXM>1 : comparative advantage Dividing by X/M makes a correction for unbalanced trade. Easier to compute than Balassa’s: national data suffice. Variant : i=country, k=sector, [Xi+Mi] can be replaced by Y (GDP), 1000 can be replaced by 100; RCAF>0 = comparative advantage;  (RCAF) over k = 0; measures the difference between the trade surplus in k and what it would be if it was determined by its share in trade and the current trade balance.

Quite often production growth and ex-post RCA are correlated, investment being driven by expected returns.
