Example text

Because of this methodology, there is a risk of overestimating factor contents in trade in recent years in the case of industries where total factor productivity has grown rapidly. 10. The I-O matrix here covers only manufacturing industries. Therefore, our analysis does not include indirect factor requirements through changes in production in nonmanufacturing industries. 11. The conversion of trade statistics at the HS nine-digit level into trade data classified at the basic industry level of the I-O tables in 1990 price was conducted by H.

However, one drawback of our analysis is that we cannot calculate wage bills for skilled (nonproduction) and unskilled (production) workers due to data constraints. Therefore, we assume that the relative wage rates of skilled (nonproduction) and unskilled (production) workers have not changed over time, and we use the ratio of the number of skilled (nonproduction) workers to the total number of workers as a proxy for the share of skilled (nonproduction) workers’ wage bill in the total wage bill.

We break down the bilateral trade flows of each detailed commodity category into the following three patterns: (a) interindustry trade (one-way trade), (b) intraindustry trade (IIT) in horizontally differentiated products (products differentiated by attributes), and (c) IIT in vertically differentiated products (products differentiated by quality). Then the share of each trade type is defined as: Z Z ϩ M kЈkj ) ∑ j (MkkЈj ᎏᎏ ∑ j (MkkЈj ϩ MkЈkj) where the variables are defined as MkkЈj : value of economy k’s imports of product j from economy kЈ; MkЈkj : value of economy kЈ’s imports of product j from economy k; UVkkЈj : average unit value of economy k’s imports of product j from economy kЈ; UVkЈkj : average unit value of economy kЈ’s imports of product j from economy k.
