A Specific Product-Basis Analysis of IIT, Comparative Advantage, and CTB on the Trade Structure between China and Korea

In recent years there are a few studies on international trade structure between Korea and China. Those analyses, however, examine the industrybasis international trade structure between Korea and China instead of specific product-basis analysis on international trade structure among China and Korea. China has been the largest trade partner of Kore and China contributes and influences Korean economy. While an analysis of industry-basis international trade structure between Korea and China gives us a broad understanding, it can t give us the exact and deep insight and understanding of international trade structure between Korea and China. Thus this paper investigates the specific product-basis analysis on international trade structure among China and Korea using the recent 2001-2005 trade statistical data. Several specific product-basis trade structure tests such as specific product-basis trade specialization test, intra-industry trade index and specific product-basis Contribution to Trade Balance index show that Korea has specialized in not all but most specific products of chemistry and related products and that Korea has the favorable trade balance effect and large comparative advantage in the some specific products of machinery and transport and chemistry and related products. Korea, however, has comparative disadvantage in other specific products of even chemistry and related products, machinery and transport and chemistry and related products.
