This study aims to measure the
export product quality improvement for trade between
China and
eight selected
developing countries:
Argentina,
Brazil,
Chile, Egypt, South Africa, Mexico, Turkey, and the
Russian Federation based on
disaggregated four-digit SITC
data for the two periods 2000–2004 and 2004–2008.
Vertical intra-industry trade high (VIITH) is
considered as high quality products. The results
revealed that the highest benefits of intra-industry
trade with China are for South Africa in the first
period and for Egypt in the second period. The
highest positive growth of high quality products
during the two periods is reported for Russia in the
first period and for Brazil and Argentina in the
second period. In conclusion, there is a massive
potential for economic cooperation between China and
these three partners.
