Structural decomposition analysis for world shares of exports To conclude, the structural decomposition analysis provides preliminary evidence in favor of the existence of a positive relationship be- tween technological activities and competitive- ness. There is a remarkable similarity between the evolution of patent and export shares: Chi- na is far ahead in the two rankings, followed by East-Asian economies. Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia lag behind. Moreover, rates of growth in both patent and export shares are All sample countries, apart from Brazil, in- crease their share of world trade.

empirical analysis. The remaining countries con- versely are satisfactorily covered in the UNIDO Database. Nonetheless, the available years for the three variables used to compute ULC (Employment, Wages and salaries, and Value added) are different for the different economies considered: Colombia 1985-98, India 1985-97, Malaysia 1985-97, Mexico 1987-94, Singapore 1985-94, Thailand 1986-94. Unit labor costs measure the cost of labor per unit of value added. We used the UNIDO Indus- trial Statistics Database which contains data on industries classified at the 4-digit level of ISIC (Revision 2). Argentina, Brazil, and China have an insufficient number of observations on differ- ent industries and years to be included in the
