A Research On The Competitiveness Of Xinjiang Export Trade

The export trade competitiveness in the existing literature is widely considered as a kind of direct or indirect ability to obtain certain benefits, and the ability comes from the comparative advantage of export products. Actually, the export trade competitiveness comes from the inside and outside factors that influences the level of the comparative advantages. As to this paper only studied four categories of products that are the characteristic processed food products, the mechanical and electrical equipment products, the energy processed products and the mineral processed products exported by Xinjiang to the SCO Member States, the internal factor is technological progress in the production of export products. The production technology is difficult for competitors in the short term to copy, so the competitiveness, which improves the technological content by the technological advances, is called the quality competitiveness of export products. The external factors are cutting down export trade barriers, so the competitiveness that comes from cutting down export trade barriers is called the price competitiveness of export products. Actually, the export trade of Xinjiang is influenced by the technological progress and cutting down export trade barriers, so the Xinjiang export trade competitiveness may be manifested as the quality-price competitiveness. Therefore, the connotation of the export trade competitiveness be expanded, and the analysis of chapter3-7of this paper is also based on it.Chapter3:the development status of Xinjiang export trade. This chapter that mainly based on the characteristics of the four categories products exported to the SCO Member States puts forward two kinds of export trade mode:the export driven by export and the export caused by import. The characteristic processed food products and the mechanical and electrical equipment products of Xinjiang exported to the SCO Member States have the characteristics:"export for export" and influenced by "the invisible hand" of market mechanism, so they are belong to the export driven by export mode. The energy processed products and the mineral processed products of Xinjiang exported to the SCO Member States have the characteristics:"export for import" and influenced by "the visible hand" of intergovernmental cooperation, so they are belong to the export caused by import mode. Then, by using statistical data and Grainger Granger causality analysis method, the existences of two export modes are tested.Chapter4:the theoretical analysis of Xinjiang’s export competitiveness. By setting the basic assumptions of the theoretical analysis, the specific expression of the demand and cost functions, and the abstract expression of measuring the level of the export trade competitiveness, the constraint conditions are established for two export modes. At the same time, the theoretical analysis process and the specific mathematical expressions of its improvement and improvement circulation for the price competitiveness and quality competitiveness and quality-price competitiveness are analyzed.Chapter5:the admeasurements of Xinjiang’s export competitiveness. Based on discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the methods of the revealed index and the analyticity index to the export trade competitiveness, the Xinjiang’s export competitiveness of the four categories products that are the characteristic processed food products, the mechanical and electrical equipment products, the energy processed products and the mineral processed products and are exported to the SCO Member States under the two export mode are admeasured by3revealed index of the Price Index and the Comparative Advantage Index and the Product Diversification Index. However, the purpose of admeasuring the export competitiveness and sequencing analysis is not for the comparative analysis, is to analyze the stability and consistency of sequencing to the competitiveness of export products and to test the characteristics of "the invisible hand" of market mechanism of the export driven by export mode and "the visible hand" of intergovernmental cooperation of the export caused by import mode.Chapter6:the economic effects of main influencing factors of Xinjiang’s export trade competitiveness. The main one is to analyze the influences and the sensitive degrees caused by the technological progress (the demand-price elasticity) and cutting down export trade barriers (the rate of the exchange rate) under the export driven by export mode for the characteristic processed food products and the mechanical and electrical equipment products, and under the export caused by import mode for the energy processed products and the mineral processed products. On the other hand is to analyze the impact positions of the price level and exports structure ratio in the factors of Xinjiang’s export competitiveness. The export of the characteristic processed food products and the mechanical and electrical equipment products should give priority to seek the methods for the export quantity, not for the price under the export driven by export mode; but the export of the energy processed products and the mineral processed products should give priority to seek the methods for the price, not for the export quantity under the export caused by import mode.Chapter7:the countermeasures and suggestions to improve the competitiveness of Xinjiang export trade. This chapter mainly analyzes3aspects of:the countermeasures and suggestions to improve the competitiveness of Xinjiang export trade under the export driven by export mode; the countermeasures and suggestions to improve the competitiveness of Xinjiang export trade under the export caused by import mode; the other countermeasures and suggestions to improve the competitiveness of Xinjiang export trade. At the same time, the countermeasures and suggestions of two export modes are presented from two aspects of the technical progress and cutting down export trade barriers, but the countermeasures and suggestions mainly are presented and based on the technological progress under the export driven by export mode and cutting down export trade barriers under the export caused by import mode.
