Tiivistelmä: | It is essential to forecast shifts in a country's comparative advantage in order to avoid trade and structural problems. A UNIDO study from 1982 assumes that comparative advantage indices constitute a trend-stationary process. The present paper analyses Finland's UN trade statistics at a three-digit aggregation level for 1965-1983 and finds that a random-walk-with-drift model is superior to either a deterministic trend or a second-order difference model. |
