Slow down in intangible exports
The WSJ Real Time Economics blog has a chart showing the slow down of US exports (“Vital Signs Chart: Slowing Export Growth“). The chart indicates that export growth has slowed dramatically since the middle of 2011. Is the story the same with respect to intangibles?
The answer, as shown in the two charts below, is yes. Except for a period roughly between 1998 and 2000, the trends in intangible exports (the blue line) generally tracks total exports (the red line) and the export of goods (the green line). The point is that trade in intangibles is not separate from trade in general. Exports of intangibles and goods are linking. The idea that trade in just intangibles (or “services”) will solve the trade deficit is not defensible. We need to use our intangible assets and intellectual capital to reinvigourate all parts of the economy through improving the competitiveness of US based production of goods and services. The result will be boosting exports and reducing imports and thereby reducing and eventually eliminating the trade deficit.
