戰後香港與台灣紡織業與成衣業對美國之出口：時間密集之重要性

Throughout the 20th-century, businesses in the south China area have had a
comparative advantage in producing time-intensive goods. This comparative
advantage was of little value prior to World War II, but since the war, international
telephone and air service have made international trade in time-intensive goods
practical. This has caused the demand for time-intensive goods on the international
market to grow at an extremely rapid pace. This growth in demand can explain the
export booms experienced by both Hong Kong, Taiwan and finally China.
