This paper explores the evolution of
OECD imports over time and as a function of income levels,
measuring the concentration of those imports across origin
countries at the product level. The authors find evidence of
diversification followed, in the last years of the sample
period (post-2000), by a slight re-concentration. This
re-concentration is entirely explained by the growing
importance of Chinese products in OECD imports. They also
find evidence of relatively more volatile concentration
levels for differentiated goods, consistent with a simple
model of adverse selection and screening of suppliers by
OECD buyers. Finally, they find that "accession"
to OECD markets occurs directly (rather than after acquiring
prior export experience on other markets) for more than half
of the (extra-OECD) exporter/product pairs, but that one to
eight years of experience enhances subsequent survival on
OECD markets. Exports that reach OECD markets after more
than eight years of experience elsewhere tend to survive less. |
