Industrial and Trade Structure of Asian Countries and their Economic Growth : Empirical Analysis Based on Long Term Statistics

我们从我们的项目中获得了以下三个主要输出。我们编制了关于亚洲国家贸易和产业结构的数据库。利用贸易数据，我们分析了过去40年亚洲国家贸易中的要素含量。我们还利用工业数据估计了这些国家的均衡汇率。我们编制了日本工业数据库(JIP数据库)，将由内阁府经济社会研究所出版。利用这个数据库，我们估计了84个行业的全要素生产率增长。我们整理了中国和菲律宾的区域数据。利用中国的数据，我们估计了各省之间污染水平的决定因素。利用菲律宾的数据，我们估计了人均收入的收敛方程。基于我们在马来西亚的实地调查，我们利用公司层面的数据，对马来西亚塑料行业如何超时发展进行了个案研究。

We got the following three major outputs from our project.1. We compiled database on trade and industrial structure of Asian countries. Using trade data we analyzed factor contents in Asian countries' trade in the last four decades. Using industrial data we also estimated equilibrium exchange rates for these countries.2. We compiled Japan's Industrial Database (JIP Database) which will be published from Economic and Social Research Institute, Cabinet Office. Using this database we have estimated total factor productivity growth in 84 industries.3. We compiles regional data of China and the Philippines. Using the data on China we estimated determinants of pollution level among provinces. Using the data on the Philippines we estimated convergence equation of percapita income. Using firm-level data based on our own field survey in Malaysia, we conducted case study on how plastic industry in Malaysia have developed overtime.
