摘要

This paper provides empirical evidence on the extent to which the Asian Newly Industrialised Economies (NIEs) compete in world export markets. Our results support existing studies which emphasise the importance of allowing for intra-LDC competition in modelling an individual developing country's exports. Whilst the Asian NIEs are regarded as a model for other developing countries to emulate, one has to consider whether such an expansion in export supply would be at the expense of OECD economies or whether it will lead to a deterioration in the terms of trade of the developing countries as a group.
