| Abstract | The pattern of comparative advantage of manufacturing
industries in ASEAN countries was analysed in this study
to identify the sectors having comparative advantage
in each of ASEAN members and the ASEAN region as a whole.
Manufacturing industries in five ASEAN nations, namely,
Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand,
were examined for their comparative advantages by using Revealed
Comparative Advantage (RCA) indicators and Domestic Resource Cost
(DRC) coefficients. All ASEAN manufacturing sectors were ranked
according to their respective RCA indicators estimated, and the
pattern of industrial comparative advantage was examined.
The DRC coefficients for the manufacturing sectors in
the Philippines were calculated and the results were compared
with the respective RCA analysis results for consistency between
present and potential comparative advantages. |
