Abstract

This article examines trade patterns for seven East Asian economies: Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, South Korea and Hong Kong, with partners in other Asian countries and the West. East Asia as a dynamically growing region has gained manufacturing competitiveness as it converges towards income levels in the West. The article focuses mainly, but not exclusively, on intra-industrytrade (IIT). Measures of IIT provide clues as to the nature of trade-induced adjustments on the economy. East Asian economies do appear to have gained in manufacturing competitiveness, a trend which is not just confined to unskilled labourintensive goods.
