Catch-up Strategy And The Implementation Of The Structural Transformation Of Developing Countries In Trade

"How to narrow the gap between developed countries" is one of the core proposition of the study of development economics.Neo-classical school of thought is given "the same technology" under the assumption that "convergence" of the conclusions;but,after the 20th century,the development of the 50's economists are not more than the fact that the falsification thesis and a catch-up strategy.Under the catch-up Strategy,the developing countries try to catch up with structural changes in trade.This article describes the transition process by using of the HOV model, empirical methods of video card model,and then by comparing the following conclusions:1.Technical matrix of HOV model can describe the theory of the trade structure of a country in transition.The restructuring of trade is trade in real terms the changes in production technology, that is,the same as the production of elements of a wide range of countries.This is the HOV model technique described in the case of the matrix.If the matrix of technology can change,it can achieve the success of the restructuring of trade.2.The contradiction between the structural changes in trade and comparative advantage can be used as a basis for the success of trade in transition.The implementation of catch-up strategy can achieve a certain period of time changes in the structure of the trade,but it does not mean that successful transformation of the trade structure.In other words,through certain policy we can change trade structure,but not necessarily to achieve the changes in comparative advantage.At the same time,if not able to export products to achieve the changes in comparative advantage of changes in the structure then the trade is futile,we will not be long-term accumulation of social wealth to be adversely affected.3.Trade in transition should be based on factor endowment.According to the theory of comparative advantage,a country often specialized production and export the products intensive using of its relatively abundant.Such a specialized production has the lowest cost and highest income factor products;such export trade can achieve the international competitiveness of products. Therefore,trade in transition should be based on factor endowment4.Market economy is very important for the strategic choice.If the market plays a leading role in the allocation of resources,it will resource sectors of high-yield allocation,that is,the intensive use of their relatively abundant factor of the industrial sector.Therefore,market economy is very important for the strategic choice.5.The right science and technology policy is the introduction and absorption.Correct science and technology policy will raise the level of the promotion of science and technology.But in developing countries Level of science and technology is often low,emerging talent,the lack of sources of investment in technology,so take the introduction of technology is desirable.The introduction can get the high degree of technological maturity and Reduce risk;is the technology for labor-intensive industries(the transfer of low-end industries in developed countries) in line with the characteristics of developing countries;can save the costs of innovation,and also get the world advanced level technology.At the same time,developing countries should also positively master the technology.
