| Description | the last decades China has seen a spectacular rise in its export performance. But China has also experienced an important change in its export structure. Chinese exports have moved from predominantly exports of low-labor intensive goods towards higher sophistication of its export products. A particular rise was observed in the products such as electronics and other high-tech products which were for long time believed to be a domain of industrialized countries. Using gravity model we try to evaluate whether Chinese exports in the high-tech products during the year 2013 were competition for the European exporters in its OECD export markets. The results of our model suggest that the competition in the developed markets is not very high, in contrast, we observe that there is a positive impact of rising Chinese exports on the European exports. |
