"Service Trade in East Asia" by Urata, Shujiro and Kozo Kiyota Abstract This paper examines service trade in East Asia from two different perspectives. One is to examine service trade in the forms of cross-border supply and consumption abroad. The other is to examine trade in services that are embodied in goods trade. Our analysis of the determinants of service trade indicates that the Heckscher-Ohlin model can explain the patterns of trade in a few types of service trade including computer and information services but generally its validity cannot be confirmed. One important factor that may reduce the validity of the trade models such as the Heckscher-Ohlin model in explaining the pattern of service trade is the presence of various barriers such as government regulations. Our analysis of trade in services that are embodied in goods trade revealed that a large magnitude of services are gtradedh via goods trade. Indeed, for many countries overall balance in service trade (disembodied and embodied) turns out to be surplus, because the trade surplus in embodied service trade is greater than the trade deficit in disembodied service trade. |
