Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 資源工程學系碩博士班 === 94 === After implementation of The Petroleum Administration Law in 2001, the oil market in Taiwan is fully liberalized. The introduction of Formosa’s refining business in 2000 has resulted in significant oversupply of oil products for domestic market, especially for gasoline and diesel oil. Thus, the oil companies have to develop foreign markets. Accordingly, The growing export quantity and export markets, reflected the Taiwan’s competitiveness of gasoline and diesel in the international market.
This study applies the Constant Market Shares (CMS) model to analyze the export competitiveness of gasoline and diesel during 2001-2005. Fourteen major markets (countries) are scrutinized. The data of the gasoline (Custom No. 2710001100-4) and diesel (Custom No. 2710003200-9) are from The Export Trade Statistical Report of Taiwan.
Research results indicate that the most significant effect in most markets is the Growth Effect. As to the variation of competitiveness, Taiwan gains competitiveness in Singapore, Philippines and Viet Nam in 2005. However, the decline market share in South Korea and Hong Kong revealed Taiwan’s competitiveness is fading. Furthrmore, the variation of export growth can reflect the change of competitiveness to some extent.
