ANALYSIS OF EXPORT CONCENTRATIONS OF CHINA AND JAPAN ON PRODUCT BASIS
Abstract
Nowadays, both developing countries and developed countries aim to increase their export competitiveness and become a stronger global actor. In this context, the most important key for countries to gain a competitive advantage is to increase exports and product diversification in exports. In this perspective, in this study, it is aimed to analyze the export competitiveness of China and Japan in a comparative way using export concentrations. In this analysis, which examines the 2000-2020 period, the Concentration Ratio (CR) and Herfindahl-Hirchman Index (HHI), which are concentration indices, are used. According to the results, when compared to Japan, China's export concentrations on product basis decreased. In other words, product diversification and competitiveness in China's exports have increased.
