About the Book

U.S. International Competitiveness challenges the common assertions concerning causes of America's growing trade deficit. The authors' unique empirical analysis of industry specific trade flows using numerous explanatory variables provides a vigorous test of the view that deficit growth is primarily due to unfair foreign trade practices, overzealous antitrust laws, slack U.S. management, and other microeconomic factors. Their conclusions on the actual culprits offer a sobering reassessment of current and proposed trade policies. American and foreign public policy makers, as well as trade and industrial organization scholars, will find this volume to be enlightening and provocative reading.

The first two chapters establish the parameters and theoretical background for the study. The authors then review the microeconomic explanations for sudden trade deficit growth, identify industry characteristics included in the study, and specify the model to be tested. Turning to an examination of the empirical results, they initially look at whether changes in industry characteristics over time could have increased the deficit. They then highlight microeconomic explanations for changes in the U.S. trade balance. Concluding chapters present detailed case studies of particular industries as well as the policy implications to be drawn from the study.

Review :
.,."I have been looking at trade data for many years and found the book to be instructive and sound. The style is clear, unpretentious, and to the point. Anyone wanting to acquire a sense of the facts concerning the characteristics of U.S. commodity trade without a lot of mumbo-jumbo will benefit from reading this book by Hilke and Nelson. In fact, if they were to pursue some of the issues I have tried to raise here and wrote another book, I would want to read that one too."-Studies in Comparative International Development ?...I have been looking at trade data for many years and found the book to be instructive and sound.
