On the Determinants of Intra-industry Trade: Specialization and Relative Factor Endowments

Vertical Specialization and Intra-industry Trade: the Role of Factor Endowments

In this paper, we rely on vertical differentiation models (Falvey-Kierzkowski type) to study the effects of differences in factor endowments on vertical intra-industry specialization. These effects can vary depending on the relative position of each country in terms of both its specialization in high or low qualities and its technological (dis)advantage. We focus on the Spanish intra-industry t...

The asymmetric effect of endowments on Vertical Intra-Industry Trade

This paper investigates the determinants of Spanish vertical intra-industry trade with a large sample of countries. We empirically test the comparative advantage explanation. To this aim, we build physical, human and technological capital stocks. On average, that is using OLS techniques, differences in endowments are a limitation for vertical intra-industry trade. Using quantile regressions tec...
