This paper investigates the structure East Asian trade flows over the high-growth period of 1970-1996. Data for Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines are analysed, using measures of static intra-industry trade (Grubel-Lloyd index) and of dynamic (marginal) intra-industry trade. Inferences drawn from those results are based on the “smooth adjustment hypothesis”, according to which intra...

We develop a heterogeneous firm intra-industry trade model in which countries are asymmetric in both technology and size. In our model the productivity gaps and levels across countries are jointly determined by technological asymmetry and trade barriers. By assuming symmetry across countries, Melitz (2003)shows that increased exposure to IIT raise aggregate productivity for all countries via re...

The objective of this study is to provide some empirical evidences on the existence of labor market adjustments according to smooth adjustment hypothesis (SAH) under the impact of intra-industry trade (IIT) considering the Portuguese case over a time span between 1995 and 2006. The main methodological issue of this study consists in showing that it is preferable to use the GMM-System approach w...

In this paper, we aim to identify the intensity and nature of intra-industry specialisation in global trade citrus fruits. We used data from United Nations Comtrade database. performed both static dynamic assessments (IIT) by using traditional Grubel-Lloyd index marginal IIT (MIIT) index, respectively. also separated into horizontal vertical trade, verified relationship between changes pattern ...

Recent developments, including the analysis of firm-level adjustment to falling trade costs, have contributed to a revival of interest in intra-industry trade (IIT). Most empirical work still relies on the standard Grubel-Lloyd measure. This however refers only to international trade, disregarding income flows stimulated by repatriated profits of multinational firms. Given the overwhelming impo...

according to the recent literature, the expansion of intra-industry trade increases the intra-industrial excess job reallocation. based on lovely and nelson (2002), this study examined the hypothesis that marginal intra-industry trade has a positive effect on the excess job reallocation in iranian industries. therefore, we have employed a panel technique for iranian manufacturing industries at ...

We analyse the effects of increasing returns and regional integration on industry location and trade. Theoretically, we show that regional integration can induce a non-monotonic locus of industry location inside the customs union, with initial dispersion to the periphery and later concentration in the core. Relationships of locational dispersion with scale economies (monotonically negative) and...

The role of intra-industry trade has been emphasized in international commerce since the 1960s. Innovation and government size, which affect goods and services production and government presence in international commerce, have also been highlighted since then. This study examines the influence of these two factors on international trade and estimates their effects in linear and logistic transfo...

The article reveals the trends of Russian intra-industry trade in period 2001–2018 with twenty largest partners, united three groups, namely developed economies, developing countries and CIS states. Intra-industry was estimated using data for export import each 6-digit Harmonized Commodity Description Coding System product groups. authors use Fontanier — Freudenberg Grubel Lloyd indices to dete...
