Abstract

Participation in international trade is a key indicator of an industry’s competitiveness. This study presents a framework for measuring the export competitiveness of an industry across countries that takes into account (a) industry specialization, measured by the revealed comparative advantage, (b) industry export growth rate, and (c) relative industry size. We apply the framework to the alcoholic beverages industry using data from the top 30 exporters of alcoholic beverages over a five year period (2001-2005). Our results indicate that the alcohol beverage export market is dynamic and changing, and that export competitiveness varies by country according to the sub-sector of the industry. We discuss the application of the framework across industries and countries.
