The last decade has witnessed two
interesting features in international trade. First,
high-tech products have become the fastest growing segment
of international trade. Second, developing countries are
increasingly becoming exporters of high-tech products thanks
to greater trade openness, greater ability to master and use
technologies, and a rise in foreign direct investments. The
objective of this paper is to pinpoint the changes in Jordan
and Tunisia's production and export structures over the
last decade or so. Authors were use two highly disaggregated
panel export database and a 'product-based'
methodology that allows a mapping of products classified by
technological content and their sector of origin. The
database used runs from 2003 to 2010 for Jordan and from
1995 to 2009 for Tunisia, providing a pseudo-panel
structure. Finally, improving the environment for innovation
may facilitate the movement up the technological ladder in
both Jordan and Tunisia. |
