The Measurement on Sino-US Advanced Technology Industrial Trade Patterns.

By using the G-L index,Briielhart marginal intra-industry trade index and Thom & McDowell index, we measured trade patterns of 10 categories of Sino-US advanced technology products. The result shows that in the 10 categories of advanced technology products, the trade pattern of Information & Communication Technology, Opto-Electronics Technology, Biotechnology, Aerospace and Nuclear technology are mainly intra-industry trade. However, the trade patterns of Life Science,Electronics,Flexible Manufacturing and Advanced Materials are horizontal intra-industry trade. Because the core of advanced technology of Sino-US trade is Information & Communication Technology trade, between 2002 and 2012, the Sino-US advanced technology product trade pattern and improved trade are inter-industry trade on the whole, not intraindustry trade. As a result, China should use different tactics based on the different industry trade patterns. Then the advanced technology industry of China could upgrade from inter-industry trade to intra-industry trade and the real revenue of China would be improved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
