Abstract
-
Over the last two decades a number of Less Developed Countries have emerged as Newly Industrializing Countries (NICs). Their economic development has been characterized by export-led growth that exceeded the norm for Less Developed Countries (LDCs). This phenomenon has given rise to debate whether other LDCs could emulate the processes that were followed by the NICs.;This thesis analyses at the intra-industry level changes in export shares for the Textile Industry for the NICs and selected Asian LDCs which have the potential to advance to the status of NICs.;Changes in export shares and also export levels have been correlated for SITC three digit product categories for the years 1975 and 1985. Data used for this analysis are imports to OECD.;Countries from the selected NICs and Less Developed Countries obtained from Data Research International.;The principal research results include the following: (1) Over the period 1975 to 1985 there were shifts in export shares from the NICs to selected Less Developed Countries for the Textile Industry. (2) At the SITC three digit product category level; NICs have lost export shares to a number of selected LDCs. (3) For the poorer Less Developed Countries the composition of textile exports changed over the ten year period to a composition that was quite dissimilar to that of the NICs, indicating a degree of intra-industry specialization.
