In addition, the paper seeks to identify commodities that Uganda should specialize in as a basis to enhance the ability to benefit from the special preferential treatment extended to Uganda by China. The paper applies various indices in the measurement of Uganda's Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) on all products at Harmonised System (HS4)-digit product levels. The HS4-digit product level data was obtained from World Integrated Trade Solution (WITS) UNCTAD COMTRADE database." -- Abstract SP - ii, 33 p T2 - Research series no. 80 UR - https://www.pollux-fid.de/r/kxp-821694189 H1 - Pollux (Fachinformationsdienst Politikwissenschaft) ER -
