Chatterjee, Rittwik and Chattopadhyay, Srobonti (2013): High Technology Products Exports by India and China: A Constant Market Share Analysis.

Abstract

With more and more globalization, international trade has expanded to a large extent. This is also observable for trades in high technology products. India and China have emerged as two major exporters of high technology products in the world today. This paper makes an attempt to understand the various dimensions of high technology products exports from these two countries through constant market share (CMS) analysis and also the policy implications by looking at the various components of export growth from the CMS analysis.
