【摘要】 加入世界贸易组织是西部的重大机遇和严峻挑战 ,入世为西部的产品和产业参与国际贸易提供了更广阔的市场空间。国际贸易理论以比较优势为基础 ,因此 ,分析西部的比较优势就显得尤为重要。该文利用BelaBalassa提出的比较优势计量方法 ,对西部地区出口商品的显示比较优势进行分析 ,为西部进入国际市场、参与竞争提供科学参考依据。研究表明 ,西部地区拥有显示比较优势的产品多为资源密集型的 ,种类相对单一 ,主要以原材料或原材料的初加工为主 ,缺乏相应的产业支持和创新机制。在这种条件下 ,期望入世为西部带来短期巨大收益是不现实和不客观的 ,利用现有资源 ,延长产业链 ,走规模化、产业化的可持续发展之路 ,是西部大开发的路径之一更多还原

【Abstract】 China’s WTO membership represents both great opportunities and rigorous challenges for Western Region of China. Therefore, to recognize the comparative advantage, a central term in international trade theories, of the West, plays an important role in the analysis of economic conditions. By employing Revealed Comparative Advantage (abbreviated RCA) measure, which is coined by Bela Balassa in 1965, the RCA of export products in the West is explained and scientific references associated with international markets and competitions are provided. The research indicates that products having “revealed” comparative advantages in the West are mainly manufactured or primarily processed from raw materials, most of which are resource intensive and relatively with lower value added. Thus, it is suggested that, instead of having irrational or subjective expectation of economical profits in short term, the West should make full use of its advantages to realize the social and economic development. The sustainable development can be achieved by prolonging production chain and putting resources utilization into industrialization on a large scale.更多还原
