本文研究宗旨係從我國對日本與大陸貿易結構之變動趨勢,提出對於我國產業移動及國際競爭力變化之關連性解釋。方法則是以雙邊顯示性比較利益指數為觀察指標,歸納分析在1993-2003年期間我國機械及電機電子產品在日本及中國大陸當地市場出口競爭力的變化。分析結果顯示經過我國在多項的機械及電機電子產品中,其競爭力有增強的趨勢,顯示我國在機械及電機電子兩大項產業中,與日本的競爭力差距有逐漸縮小的情形。但我國產品在中國大陸市場的表現方面,由於我國部分產品競爭力下滑及中國大陸競爭力逐漸上升(例如:中國大陸經過台商與外商的技術轉移及學習的過程,己提昇其競爭力),產生台灣與中國大陸在國際市場上的競爭。
The purpose of his paper is to investigate the changing international trade structure on Taiwan toward China and Japan. It reveals an empirical explanation on the transition trend of industrial movement and global competitiveness. The analyzing approach is adopted the index of RCA covering machine and electronics items in the period of 1993-2003. This study shows that Taiwan is increasing global competitiveness in machine and electronics items and is narrowing their development gaps with Japan. In contrast, Taiwan is losing her global competitiveness in some parts of industrial parts to China. It is indicated that China is increasing her industrial competitiveness through the learning process in technologies from Taiwanese firms and other foreign firms.
