Nevertheless, in both cases Portugal attained a vir- tual reduction in its comparative disadvantage. The Portuguese comparative advantage pattern vis-à-vis the CEEC4 countries (similar to that cal- culated for each CEEC4 country taken individu- ally) is quite close to the present behaviour vis-à-vis the EU as a whole, except in what con- cerns sector “ Other manufactured commodities”;

REVEALED COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE. The Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) analysis for Participating States of APTA is based on the level of product chapter. Chapters with the 15 highest RCA values for each APTA member are listed in table 3.44. Specifically, Bangladesh has high RCA values in products such as other vegetable textile fibres, paper yarn and woven fabric of paper yarn, articles of apparel and clothing accessories, headgear and parts thereof, seafood, raw hides, skin and leather, cotton, live trees and other plants, fertilizers and footwear. The 15 chapters with the highest RCA indices are much greater than unity, suggesting that shares of these products’ exports in Bangladesh’s total exports in 2007 are much higher than those to the world in the same year. In 2007, the average RCA value in Bangladesh was 2.82. 10 Regarding the effects of other factors, remoteness is considered to be a major barrier to the export growth of PIFCs. Based on the estimated coefficient on distance, for each 1% increase in distance to an export market, the PIFC’s exports decline by about 1.92%. The regression also shows that preferential trade agreements generally have a positive impact on bilateral trade. Colonial ties also have a positive impact on PIFC exports to their former colonial powers. The elasticity of the PIFC exports with regard to their GDP is quite low. The estimated coefficient indicates that, on average, with each 1% increase in the GDP of the exporting country, exports rise only by 0.39%. The elasticity of PIFC exports with regard to an importing country’s GDP is considerably higher than the elasticity with regard to a PIFC’s own GDP. This low elasticity probably reflects the fact that the PIFC’s exports are mainly primary commodities, such as agricultural products and minerals. China has significant comparative advantages in a number of products such as: umbrellas, walking sticks, seat sticks, whips and riding-crops; prepared feathers and down and articles thereof; manufactures of straw; silk; headgear and parts thereof; textile articles; articles of apparel and clothing accessories; articles of leather, saddles and harnesses; footwear; toys and games; woven, knitted and crocheted fabrics; and furniture, bedding, mattresses, cushions and similar stuffed furnishing. In 2012, the average RCA value in China was 1.35. India has strong comparative advantages in products such as: lac, gums, resins and other vegetable saps and extracts; cotton; other vegetable textile fibres; paper yarn ...
