early April, the Economic Observer reported
Taizhou, Zhejiang, on the road with Samuelson (Paul A. Samuelson) of the paper. Is about several classmates Well, to discuss a major concern of this paper. to say love is his life: with a little thing read, walk in the real world to see, read, think. , break rolls the book resurgence of protectionism, what to see during the interests of the gains and losses, caused a controversy. The article published in the American University, Summer 2004 JPE. Savon has always been famous world-class, with arguments seem to support the popular view of globalization, different from , or sensation is also difficult. classmate checked, self-Savon this great article published today, the international debate continued.
is indeed the master of pure economic theory, Paul Samuelson put a diverse complex to get started The trade deal was a neat and tidy world. of course, first with the tradition of Ricardo and Mill to ask: if the two products of two different products, different economic productivity, close to each other, never in contact with the results? each other open and free trade, so what? conclusion is of course the famous
Savon then asked if the change in productivity between the two countries, free trade between the two countries to enhance the total welfare of the inference, variable or constant? this end, he distinguished between two situations: First, a country in comparison with advantage, greatly improved productivity; Second, a State does not have a comparative advantage in the original area, unexpectedly improved productivity. read here, we have to be careful: if the productivity increase in the two cases are the same, Sa Wilson Miao why Guzuogaoshen such scholars, the problem dealt with separately non? this case both productivity and progress, what is the difference then?
or take Weng envisaged the first case, making shirts for China's comparative advantage, when the Chinese-made shirts greatly enhance productivity (Sa paper assumes that would harm U.S. interests? Of course not. because the Chinese-made shirts productivity, the productivity of American-made aircraft has not changed, so the relative price of Chinese shirts cheaper. That is, the U.S. productivity in terms of trade because the Chinese shirt upgrading and improving.
The terms of trade in China and how it? Saon analysis is dependent on demand. Both goods and shirts shirts mm technological advances to improve the welfare of the Chinese on this side. added together, the derivation of Savimbi, > But Samuelson productivity gains envisaged in the second, the situation quite different. Please note that this productivity improvement, not in making shirts department, but in the comparative advantages of China had no aircraft! This is of course is a bold idea, because China only has a comparative advantage in production, has always made shirt only, not make an airplane, where to build the aircraft to enhance their productivity? Savon certainly understand our questions, so he specified in his China import departments in the technological progress, is completely Savon mm if the answer to shock the world in aircraft manufacturing in China is really to improve productivity, it could the master of a heavyweight, for What other home mm actually stop to anti-free trade stance was incredible. the most exciting of course, Samuelson himself, he stated Doctrine of the conclusions. mm is the concept of the Saon sudden large increase in China did not have the comparative advantage of the situation made aircraft productivity mm relative benefits both countries, what will change? Samuelson reasoning as follows: (1) World the potential to greatly increase the total output; (2) the comparative advantages of American-made plane down, until the rise of China-made aircraft, the productivity of such a position, that advantage of any import and export . China, of course, but also trade in no time. But this time China has raised the productivity of the aircraft, you can enjoy the real per capita income close up.
I suspect that readers will not much like the reasoning. I do not like it. However, under the premise of the setting, the students and how I push, Samuelson still standing. another way to it. So we read in an article criticizing, made a huge technological progress is unrealistic, because in the free trade status, China and the U.S. can only lead to their specialization to enhance its original comparative advantage. Virtual naught, his rigorous logic that is not to become a castle in the air?
However, I would think that Samuelson paper where the most powerful, just that he on the a substantial increase in the productivity of the department Look, this is said to have per million resident population of 1,100 local companies, striking advances in manufacturing productivity. chasing down look, there have been areas of technological progress, are all
to the visit of the three Companies. first do motorcycles and ATV engine, the second export tents, sun umbrellas and beach chairs in fabric, and the third capacitor used in manufacturing electronic film. of course, the aircraft is not made, but these 3 line of business, a short year and a half ago, long years ago, in Taizhou simply do not exist! they are not that as long as some people have hit the first shot, fought a successful failure, imitation innovation and use both hands, as if inadvertently arranged locally for a considerable proportion of the national market share of a mm does not rely on a relatively faster progress in productivity, but also rely on? return more than a decade of view, I am afraid only of comparative advantage in Taizhou Stuff! can only improve if the original will always have the comparative advantage of sector productivity will not have today off Taizhou.
little further to see, not only in Wenzhou, Ningbo, Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta is one such up, and then the United States to Britain, and later the United States, Japan, and the Sa above-mentioned , in the original does not have the comparative advantage sector productivity revolution occurred, it is the common feature of the economy come from behind. So Savon's the idea, not only real, and very common. gently used acts as a highly simplified model of the premise is simply is a flash in the pan.
readers may want to ask: tumbler Saon concept premise, its reasoning and impeccable, Could you also agree that in a limited range can not find what basis do not agree. only to add that the real world of Western and Japanese comparative advantage is still a lot of stuff also, China, India and other countries do not have a comparative advantage in the original field productivity improvement has just begun, however, far from universal, but not fast enough. Therefore, the so-called that amount in advance. long-range look at the world trend, I think that Samuelson's concern for a reason. To avoid damage to U.S. interests has long been the fundamental way out is to continually develop more products with comparative advantage and trade, while more defensive speed up the adjustment live production and services. how many time? benevolent see benevolence and the wise see wisdom. stood Taizhou, the United States to add a hard time  .
