The paper estimates a relation implied by the model to explain relative sectoral exports of major countries to a number of important markets, using 1970-90 data for nine manufacturing sectors. The relation fits the data well and variables suggested by both traditional and new trade models play an important role in explaining relative exports UR - http://elibrary.imf.org/view/IMF001/03779-9781451846102/03779-9781451846102/03779-9781451846102.xml UR - http://www.imfbookstore.org/IMFORG/9781451846102 ER -
