The products made by the firms in the 9 countries of East Asia including Taiwan, China, Thailand, Hong Kong, Korea, Philippine, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, however, are very similar；The government officers of the 9 countries of East Asia usually make a policy of devaluating their currency in order to stimulating their export. What this study investigates is to recognize the foreign exchange rate that is inflating or devaluating as an important factor of affecting competence power of the 9 countries of East Asia, or growth of demand from foreign countries as the key factor.
The purpose of this paper is to study which one is the main factor of affecting the competence power of East Asia countries by foreign exchange rate, revealed comparative advantage, internal industrial trade and product variety, furthermore, what is the dominant factor of affecting the competence power of the 9 countries of East Asia.
This study analyzes the competence situation that the 6 industries (plastic, woven apparel, iron/steel products, machinery, electrical machinery, vehicles) of the 9 East Asian countries operate in United States and European Union.
According to the empirical evidence of this paper, foreign exchange rate is not the key factor of competing in the 6 industries of the 9 East Asian countries. An imported country’s demand for a certain industry, domestic supply ability, revealed comparative advantage, and product variety are more important than foreign exchange rate in competing in U.S. and European market.
