Abstract

This paper compares the competitive advantages of high technology products export from BRIC countries to the United States using quantitative (ESI and RCA index) and qualitative analyzingof export value and distribution performance. We estimate a Varying Coefficient Model on panel data for BRIC countries from 2000 to 2010, using the Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) estimator to correct cross-sectional heteroscedasticity and serial autocorrelation. We found that BRIC countries high tech products have comparative advantages. Research and Development investment and patents are significantly positively related to the high tech export of the United State market while FDI still does not directly promote the competitiveness. The BRIC countries should learn from each other's successful ways concerning FDI management, patent application and research regulation to achieve better and more comprehensive improvement of high tech export competitiveness.

Abstract

American hegemony has passed its peak. The twentyfirst century will see a more multipolar international system. Yet Western European countries may not be the United States' main foils in upcoming decades. Four new poles of the international system are now known in the business and financial press as the "BRICs economies" (Brazil Russia, India, and China). Does the concept of "the BRICs" also have meaning within a rigorous political science framework? From the perspective of neoclassical economics, the category's justification is surprisingly weak. In contrast, a political or economic realist's framing instructs the United States to focus on states that are increasing their relative material capabilities, as each of the four is. Finally, within a liberal institutionalist's model, the BRICs are a compelling set, yet one with a deep cleavage between two subgroups: large emerging powers likely to remain authoritarian or revert to that state, and states that are securely democratic.
