Abstract

The development and protection of electronic and electrical industries are essential parts to America’s national strategy. Using data from UNCOMTRADE database, This paper analyzed trade patterns in electronic and electrical products (HT1 category in Rev.2 classification) in the US from 2008 to 2017. By comparing NXR, RSCA and h indicators of individual HT1 product, we found distortions did exit in the export of electronic and electrical products, which hints the US government has established trade barriers to protect intellectual properties and technical innovation of high-tech products. However, it seems harmful to products’ competence improvement in the long run. Further research has been carried out.
