    The decision to establish the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) by the year 2005 has resulted in producers in all ASEAN countries except Singapore raising concerns relating to potential loss of market share and adjustment pressures. Underlying these concerns is the view that the expected growth in intra-ASEAN trade will be dominated by inter-industry or net trade rather than intra-industry trade. If most of the expected growth in trade is intra-industry, however, then the short-run resource re-allocation costs are likely to be low. This study employs a new methodology to analyse the dynamics of intra-industry trade in ASEAN. Problems associated with using movements in the value of the Grubel-Lloyd (GL) index are overcome by deriving a formula that decomposes the growth in trade into the contributions of growth in intra-industry and net trade. The results suggest that the role of intra-industry trade in trade growth has been increasing in importance, and thus much of the recent concern that threatens the viability of AFTA may be misplaced.

    Implications of China's foreign exchange system for the wool market / Will Martin.
    (Canberra, Australia : Research School of Pacific Studies, Australian National University, [1991], 1991) Martin, Will.; Australian National University. Research School of Pacific Studies; Australia-Japan Research Centre.
    China’s foreign exchange regime includes controls on the use of foreign exchange and an overvalued exchange rate. While a system of foreign exchange retention and secondary markets for foreign exchange has been introduced to mitigate the effect of the overvaluation and to increase the efficiency with which foreign exchange is used, overvaluation still reduces returns to exporters. Given the more price-responsive nature of the post-reform Chinese economy, this policy reduces exports and hence foreign exchange availability. The resulting shortage of foreign exchange raises its price on secondary markets and increases the price of importables at the margin. A general equilibrium model of the post-reform Chinese economy is developed to analyse the short-run effects of exchange rate devaluation. The model points to a number of major beneficial effects on the Chinese economy, including a major appreciation of the secondary market exchange rate, with a consequent fall in prices of imports. Exports grow dramatically, providing additional foreign exchange to finance imports. Real incomes rise, the balance of trade improves, and the expansion of labour-intensive export industries raises the demand for labour and hence real wage rates. Within the textile sector, wool and cotton imports are projected to grow rapidly in response to the lower secondary market prices for foreign exchange and the greater incentive for export production of textiles and apparel.
