International trade in “new” manufactured products

Economic and social analysts have been pointing for several years to the rapid pace of innovations in electronics and information technology and the revolution it seems to be engendering as regards the nature of production and work, as well as that of consumption and entertainment. If the changes are as profound as alleged, one should be able to observe multiple dimensions in these changes. This seems indeed to be the case in the realm of international trade. That is, an exercise to determine which categories of the manufactured exports of the world have been the most rapidly growing points decisively to the new, highly sophisticated, “information-age” goods, which for simplicity will he identified here as “new” products.
