DESCRIPTION:Balassa’s index of revealed comparative advantage is not a su
 fficient statistic for identifying the existence\, magnitude\, and source o
 f Ricardian comparative advantage. We overcome this issue by developing an 
 alternative structural approach to the measurement of Ricardian comparative
  advantage based on a quantitative trade model with firm and product select
 ion\, where both relative unit input requirements and relative factor endow
 ments play a role. Through the lens of the model\, we identify sets of suff
 icient statistics for the endogenous and exogenous components of a countryâ
 €™s productivity relative to the rest of the world. Among the exogenous com
 ponents\, we target the country’s relative state of technology as the exo
 genous determinant of its Ricardian comparative advantage. Applying our app
 roach to Chinese micro and macro data\, we find that\, while the state of t
 echnology has important implications for the micro behavior of individual f
 irms\, firms’ responses have\, in turn\, far-reaching macro implications 
 for aggregate productivity and revealed comparative advantage.\\n\\nContact
