Abstract
The growth of the developed countries’ imports of manufactured goods from the developing countries has received much attention in recent years. It has been alleged that increases in imports have adversely affected the industrial sector of the developed countries and that the continuation of this trend bodes ill for the future of the sector.1 In turn, it has been claimed that growing protectionism in the developed countries has compromised the prospects for an outward-oriented industrial strategy in the developing countries and makes it necessary for these countries to turn to domestic markets or to trade among themselves.
