Abstract
This paper aims to analyse the similarity of trade structures among some selected Northeast and Southeast Asian economies. The study covers a time series analysis from 1990 to 2008. It is important to know whether these countries are becoming more or less similar in trade structures over time. The analysis provides an indication whether these economies are competitors or complements in their trade. The paper addresses a current concern on whether China is out-competing the ASEAN region. The Finger-Kreinin index (1979) is modified to compute for the net export similarity index. Data is sourced from the United Nations Comtrade database.
