Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the competitiveness and orientation of Brazilian and Beninese cotton exports in international trade from 2006 to 2018. The cotton category in this article refers to “neither carded nor combed” (HS: 5201). To measure competitiveness, we chose to calculate the Revealed Comparative Advantage Index (RCAI) and Symmetric Revealed Comparative Advantage Index (SRCAI), proposed by Balassa (1965) and Laursen (1998) respectively. The Regional Orientation Index (ROI), proposed by Yeats (1997), of cotton for Asia and EU-28 is used. The data were collected from the International Trade Center (ITC) /Trade Map and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The results found indicate that the Brazilian’s and Beninese’s cotton has been increasing values and above the unit showing its competitiveness in the international market. In addition, Benin was more competitive than Brazil because it has, on average, a higher SRCAI than Brazil (0.99 and 0.7 respectively). Concerning the ROI, it was found that Brazilian and Beninese cotton exports are strongly directed towards Asia, the main consumer market for Beninese and Brazilian cotton. As for the EU-28, both Benin and Brazil do not direct their cotton sales to this economic block.

2006 - 2018年贝宁和巴西棉花出口国际贸易竞争力比较分析

摘要:本研究旨在分析2006 - 2018年巴西和贝宁棉花出口在国际贸易中的竞争力和定位。本文所指的棉类是指“既不梳也不梳”(HS: 5201)。为了衡量竞争力，我们选择计算Balassa(1965)和Laursen(1998)分别提出的显性比较优势指数(RCAI)和对称显性比较优势指数(SRCAI)。使用叶芝(1997)提出的亚洲和欧盟28国棉花的区域导向指数(ROI)。数据收集自国际贸易中心(ITC) /贸易地图和美国农业部(USDA)。结果表明，巴西和贝宁的棉花都在不断升值，并在国际市场上显示出一定的竞争力。此外，贝宁比巴西更具竞争力，因为它的平均SRCAI高于巴西(分别为0.99和0.7)。关于投资回报率，我们发现巴西和贝宁的棉花出口主要面向亚洲，亚洲是贝宁和巴西棉花的主要消费市场。至于欧盟28国，贝宁和巴西都没有直接向这个经济集团销售棉花。
