Abstract

The aggregate of exports of individual developing countries is generally considered a crucial variable in development processes. Hence, a wave of studies appeared from the 1950s on, trying to explain differences in export performance between countries, and to relate exports to other economic variables (Michalopoulos and Jay, 1973; Chenery and Syrquin, 1975; Michaely, 1977; Krueger, 1978; Balassa, 1978 and 1979; Chenery, 1980; Lewis, 1980; Jepma, 1986, to give just some examples). Most of the studies explaining differences in export performance employed macroeconomic trade data. They started from the assumption that export performance should be judged on the basis of the deviation between actual export performance and the ‘normal’ performance, the latter being defined as the change in total exports which would have materialised had export growth equalled the corresponding rate of a reference group. The latter usually consists of either the group of competing countries or the world total. The deviation was subsequently explained by relative competitiveness.
