Textiles and clothing industries play significant role during the
embryonic stages of development, but free trade in textiles was
limited through protective measures, such as the Multi Fibre
Arrangement (MFA). From the 1990's, as trade restrictions were
eliminated, small players in the world market such as Australia and
Bangladesh were faced with a number of policy questions. This book
provides an analytical overview of the impact of globalisation,
microeconomic reform and firm-level responses for the textiles and
clothing industries in the two economies. Dynamic comparative
advantage and product life cycle hypothesis has been analysed with
estimation of revealed comparative advantage (Balassa, 1965) for
selected developed and developing economies. Subsectoral
performance has been evaluated with productivity measured using
both parametric and non-parametric techniques. Tornqvist's (1936)
non parametric superlative index with underlying flexible form
translog function, as popularised by Diewert (1976, 1978), has been
used to index output, input and TFP growth. Stochastic frontier
functions are used to examine firm level efficiencies and the
factors causing efficiency variations.
