Specialization and Comparative Advantage: Evidence from Top Ten Main Actors of OIC Countries in Disruptive Era Dyah Titis Kusuma Wardani Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta
Background Technology plays an important role in international trade and commerce since international trade is one of the sources of growth. As Salvatore (2004) said that, international trade is as one of the engines of growth. Technology intensive product is in Empirical Trade Analysis (ETA) with Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) Rev 2 -3 digits 42 out of 57 OIC member countries join WTO.Top ten OIC countries have potential trade in inter and intra-OIC trade.
Background What is Empirical Trade Analysis (ETA) Based on the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and World Trade Organization with SITC-3 digits classification, research organization of Netherland namely Empirical Trade Analysis (ETA) groups SITC-3 digits into six product groups.
Background Empirical Trade Analysis (ETA) with SITC Rev 2 codes; 3 digits level consist of: Product group A: primary products (83 sectors) Product group B: natural-resource intensive products (21 sectors) Product group C: unskilled-labor intensive products (26 sectors) Product group D: technology intensive products (62 sectors) Product group E: human-capital intensive products (43 sectors) Sectors not classified according to intensity (5 sectors)
Research Question How does specialization How does specialization and comparative advantage of and comparative advantage of top ten main actors in the OIC top ten main actors in the OIC countries change? countries change? Text Here
Research Objective This paper aims to examine specialization and comparative advantage of top ten main actors in the OIC countries
Research Methodology Product Mapping Analysis To see the catch up process among top ten mai n actors of OIC member countries, in this study we will use product mapping analysis. Comparative Advantage Analysis Empirically, to estimate the comparative ad vantages of products that are exported by OIC top ten main actors (OIC Executive Su mmary, 2016) including Indonesia and Turk ey to the world, the index of Revealed Sym metric Comparative Advantage (RSCA) will be used. ?????=(??? ???)/(???+???) Where TBIij shows the country's trade balance in dex i for the product group (SITC) j; xij and mij sh ow exports and imports of product group j by cou ntry i. Extreme TBI value of -1 indicates that the country only imports, whereas if the TBI value is +1, it can be interpreted that the country only exp orts. If the TBI value is between -1 and +1, it can be said that the country carries out exports and i mports. The TBI value is negative indicating the net importer; and a positive TBI value indicates t he net exporter.

Conclusions 1. Between period of 1996 and 2016 OIC main actors such as Morocco, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Egypt were able to maintain the comparative advantage in two sectors, such as primary products and unskilled labor intensive product. 2. Countries like Bahrain, Oman and Qatar were able to maintain the comparative advantage only in primary products. 3. Indonesia, Pakistan and Malaysia, they together, were able to maintain their comparative advantage in their primary products. Hence, the have different characteristics of factor endowments; 4. Indonesia and Pakistan are countries with abundant labors, Indonesia and Pakistan were able to maintain comparative advantage in unskilled-labor intensive products. 5. In contrast, Malaysia is more technology intensive, since Malaysia s has scarce of labors compare to Indonesia.
These research finding is in line with Heckscher-Ohlin (H-O) model. H-O model is a mathematical model of international trade developed by Eli Heckscher and Bertil Ohlin. This model is based on David Ricardo's theory of comparative advantage and predicts patterns of trade and production based on the number of endowment factors of a country. This model essentially states that a country will export products that use cheap and abundant factors and import products that use rare factors
