| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北大學 === 財政學系 === 96 === The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of the export of Taiwan’s textile products in the international markets. It utilizes the index analysis constructed by Yang and Liao (2004) and the trading data of Taiwan’s Customs to analyze the change of the product structure of the Taiwan’s textile exports. The indexes are first calculated then t-test conducted to analyze the performance in full sample period, 1989-2007. The sample period is then divided into three sub-periods, which were 1989-1994, 1995-2001 and 2002-2007 in order to observe the changing track in the product structure and export region structure as time passed by.
The test results show that for export region structure Taiwan’s textile exports were mainly sold to the developing countries, and apparels exports mainly to the developed countries. However, the percentage of the apparel exports to China, Hong Kong and Vietnam increased gradually. For product structure, the test results of the whole sample period show that Taiwan had different development trends in its exports to the developed and developing countries. For the exports to the developed countries, the product mix is constantly improving. But for the exports to the developing countries, the product mix is deteriorated. However, the test results of the three subphases showed that as time went by the percentage of the exports with improved product mix increased and the percentage of the exports with degenerated product mix also increased; Overall speaking, the percentage of the category with improved product mix is higher than of the degenerated product mix. For product variety, the test results of whole sample period and three subperiods show that there is no significant change. This means that Taiwan’s exported product items do not change significantly. Moreover, they increasingly concentrated in Taiwan’s key product items.
