abstract = {It has been hypothesized that technical progress will erode the
competitiveness of the manufactured exports of developing countries.
The paper tests two assumptions underlying this hypothesis.
First, limited technological competence might prevent
developing countries from competing effectively in industries
with rapid technological change. Secondly, increases in labour
productivity might reduce the importance of low labour costs as a
determinant of competitiveness. This paper presents a crosscountry,
cross-industry econometric analysis of the determinants
of specialization in trade in manufactures, covering 3 7 industrialized
and developing countries. Neither hypothesized relationship
is supported by the data.},
