Breaking Into New Markets
This book takes a fresh look at export
diversification. It concludes that much of the recent
literature, though novel, has focused excessively on simply
adding new products to export portfolios. One branch of
these studies centers on the 'discovery' of
exports, and it argues that the threat of entry (imitation)
leads to an underinvestment in bringing new products to the
global market. Another analytical branch focuses on changing
the contents of an export portfolio to mirror the exports of
countries with higher incomes on the grounds that these lead
to higher productivity. Both strands implicitly point to the
need for careful yet active government policies. While such
policies are important, this book argues for a more
comprehensive view of diversification and hence a more
comprehensive trade policy strategy-one that takes into
account improving the quality of existing exports, breaking
into new geographic markets, and increasing services
exports. This publication has been tailored to policy
makers, their staffs, and the international development
community at large. It is a collection of short articles
that summarize major issues and policies on particular
topics. Many of the chapters are digests of more formal
studies but are presented here with a minimum of underlying
econometric and theoretical detail of less interest to
policy makers. As the World Bank increases its efforts on
'aid for trade,' Staff are working with countries
to help diversify their exports. Along with other
development partners, the Bank is providing enhanced
assistance to improve competitiveness, facilitate trade,
improve trade-related services, and exploit regional and
multilateral initiatives to open markets for developing
countries. This book makes a substantial contribution to the
efforts of developing countries to use the global economy to
spur growth and reduce poverty.
