Abstract

This paper uses a geographic concentration index and expert diversification index to make an empirical analysis of the relationship between geographical concentration and exporting instability of China's textile.The analytical conclusion indicates that the exporting instability of China's textile is mostly caused by fluctuations of the Asian market since Claim's expert of textile concentrates on the Asian region.The instability can be partly counteracted by exporting to other continents.Due to a high correlation of fluctuating trends and their own instability, the stabilizing function of expanding European and American markets is limited.However, the exporting instability will fall greatly through adjusting the export geographic structure and developing new market, especially the African market.

Key words： China's export of textile; geographic concentration index; export diversification index; exporting instability
