Abstract
-
This study provides a systematic and comprehensive analysis of the relationship between product concentration and total export instability. By employing the portfolio approach, the conventional concern about the validity of a significant relationship can be shifted to focus on the necessary condition required for the existence of this relationship. Since product concentration and total export instability are not linked mechanically, their relationship should be investigated by an indirect rather than the customary direct empirical method. By examining dynamically how product diversification can dampen total export instability, we determine the relationship between product concentration and total export instability. The conventional proposition of a significant relationship between product concentration and total export instability is strongly but conditionally supported from this study.
