Innovation capacity and economic development: China and India (2011, background): “However, there is a growing literature enquiring to what extent China’s growth in high-tech exports can truly reflect its improvement in innovation capacity (see, for instance, Amiti and Freund 2010; Blustein 1997; Feenstra and Wei 2010; Koopman et al. 2008 ).”
Foreign direct investment, processing trade, and the sophistication of China's exports (2009, background): “Javorcik and Saggi (2004) built a model of entry mode choice, which identifies a trade-off between securing a better position in the product market and allowing local partners to share profits.”
The Past, Present, and Future of Economic Growth (2014, background): “Koopman et al. (2008) estimate that foreign inputs account for half of China’s export value, which is much larger than in other countries, and that this ratio rises to around 80 percent for technologically sophisticated electronics products.”
Weighing China’s export basket: The domestic content and technology intensity of Chinese exports (2013, methodology): “In view of this problem, Chen et al. (2004) and Koopman et al. (2008) modify the HIY method by splitting the standard I/O tales into separate tables for processing trade and other types of productions (productions for ordinary trade and domestic sales).”
Can Developing Countries Gain from Defying Comparative Advantage? Distance to Comparative Advantage, Export Diversification and Sophistication, and the Dynamics of Specialization (2018, background): “As a result, the domestic content of China’s manufacturing exports has remained remarkably low – 40% on average between 2002 and 2007 according to Koopman et al. (2008)’s estimations –, especially in the most sophisticated industries like electronics.”
Export sophistication and economic growth: Evidence from China (2012, background): “Koopmans et al. (2008) develop a general formula for computing the domestic and foreign components of pervasive processing-trade exports, and calculate that the foreign share of value-added in China's exports is around 50%, which is far higher than in most other countries.4 They also find that this…”
