Abstract

According to UN trade statistics, this paper analyzes the trade situation of high-tech products. Then it uses China's high-tech GL index, and marginal intra-industry trade index to measure the level of high-tech intra-industry trade. Finally, by use of panel data, it makes an empirical study of the national determinants of the high-tech intra-industry trade. The ?ndings indicate that China's high-tech intra-industry has a high level but it is not strong and the structure is imbalanced, so it is quite urgent to develop the high value-added industry, like Aerospace. The GDP per capita gap, technical differences and foreign direct investment are the determinants of intra-industry. The GDP per capita gap variance is significantly negative correlated with the intra-industry trade; the effect of other factors is different based on the trading partners. Upon those conclusions, the paper provides some policy recommendations.
