Technological intensity of the international trade. The case of the second-tier Asian Tigers

Summary/Abstract: The paper addresses the issue of technological intensity of international trade (exports) of countries known as the second-tier Asian Tigers: Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. Due to the fact that they are the part of the South-East Asia region playing the role of an important industrial centre in the contemporary world economy, it seems important to explore the characteristics of their trade both from the point of view of its geographical structure (main trading partners, bilateral relations) as well as of the sectoral one. The empirical material makes it possible to identify main directions of their exports specialisation and to verify whether they originate from their revealed comparative advantages.
