Abstract

This study attempts to assess the analytical implications of six alternative definitions by comparing results when each is used to tabulate the "manufactures" exports of 72 developing countries. The results show that the different definitions result in a discrepancy of $60 billion in developing countries manufactures exports. Sensitivity tests show that five or six products are responsible for the major discrepancies, with the key item being refined petroleum (SITC 332). These items are included in the UNIDO (trade) and most agencies output definitions, but are excluded from the trade definition used by UNCTAD, the World Bank, and GATT.
