Structure of Comparative Advantage of China and India： Global and Regional Dynamics

This paper investigates the extent of competition between China and India in the world and ASEAN markets. The analysis is undertaken using the concept of revealed comparative advantage, relative market shares, long‐term trend analysis and statistical tests of convergence. In the context of the ASEAN market the evaluation of competition between India and China has been undertaken with special reference to the prior implementation of the ASEAN‐China Free Trade Area relative to the ASEAN‐India Free Trade Area. The results suggest that threat perceptions at the product level might currently prevail for both economies from each other across all sectors in both markets even though the intensity of the competitive threat varies across products. However, long‐term trend analysis shows that the patterns of comparative advantage of India and China are evolving along divergent paths and, therefore, competition between the two economies might not be a major issue.

A Study on Guiding and Supporting Effect of Innovation of Concept and Thinking Mode

This paper explains guiding and support effect of innovation of concept and thinking mode in the mutual dynamic among innovation of concept and thinking mode, market institutional innovation and technological innovation by a tentative study of them. That is, the change of ideas and values lead to variation of variety and multilayermarket demand that develops demand of innovation of product that further induces market institutional innovation to gear to changes of ideas and values. Technological innovation basing on innovation of concept and thinking mode, simultaneously, is materialized for innovation of product and innovation of craft, material and management which satisfy variation of variety and multilayer market demand.

China＇s FDI Net Inflow and Deterioration of Terms of Trade： Paradox and Explanation

Starting from the contradiction between China's sustained growth in foreign direct investment (FDI) net inflow and deterioration of the terms of trade, this paper analyzes the characteristics of FDI sectoral structure since the 1990. Moreover, considering the international market competitive environment, this paper gives a concrete analysis of the influence mechanism and concludes that the flowing of FDI into labor‐intensive export sectors caused the deterioration of China's terms of trade. To improve its terms of trade, China needs to direct FDI inflow into capital‐ and technology‐intensive sectors and service sectors. (Edited by Xiaoming Feng)

A tale of two cities – the development and reform experiences of Shenzhen and Shanghai

Following gaige kaifang, the twin strategy of reform and opening up, Shenzhen has been designated as a Special Economic Zone. The city appeared to have bright future and would serve as the growth engine in China. Despite having an impressive record of economic development since 1979, the prestige of Shenzhen as a commercial centre has always been overshadowed by Shanghai and Hong Kong. A breakthrough finally came when the State Council of China decided to develop Qianhai, a town near Shenzhen, into an international commercial centre. However, shortly after, the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone representing an unprecedented degree of openness in relation to foreign investment and international trade was launched. No one seems to remember the once-hopeful Qianhai area. The aim of this paper is to examine the path of development of the two leading commercial centres in China amidst the wider context of Chinese economic reform. A common issue facing both cities is, although the state generally has no problem in outlining a vision of reform, a translation of this vision into actual credible measures that could be implemented is often problematic.     

Crisis of the Models of Development and Rise of Poverty in Central Africa

Historically, the economic growth in Central Africa, compared to all the other areas of the developing countries, was the most deficient between 1965 and 1985. During the 80＇s and 90＇s, the existing discomfort signs were gradually transformed into economic crisis. The objective of the present study is to find out determining factors, which were significantly influencing this crisis.     

Fostering and regulation of public domain

Advanced and well-regulated public domain is the basis for the operation of modem market economy and the development of social economy. Since the reform and opening up of China, the private domain dominated by the market mechanism has been developing rapidly, and the under-development of the public domain has begun to appear. Under-development and non-standard nature of public domain has begun to restrict the improvement of market economic system and comprehensive and healthy development of social economy. Therefore, we shall vigorously foster and regulate public domain while continuing expanding and deepening private sector dominated by market mechanism.
