台湾农产品贸易比较优势的测算与分析

根据比较优势理论,应用贸易竞争力指数、显示性比较优势指数对台湾农产品近10年来的贸易比较优势进行了测算。结果表明,台湾农产品整体上不具有比较优势;畜产品和水产品具有一定的比较优势,是台湾主要的出口农产品;大宗农产品不具有比较优势,基本上处于净进口状态;劳动力密集型农产品由比较优势产品逐渐转变为比较劣势产品。

Computation and Analysis of the Competitive Advantage ofTaiwan Agricultural Produce Trade

We make a computation,based on comparative advantage theories and using the NX and RCA index,of trade comparative advantages of Taiwan's agricultural produce in recent 10.The result revealsthat agricultural produce in Taiwan,as a whole,does not have much competitive advantage.The livestock and fishery products have some comparative advantages and they are the major types of agricultural exports,whereas the crop products show little competitive advantage and they are on the net import side.The labor-intensive products have been turning from comparative advantage products into comparative disadvantage products.
