Marginal intra- industry trade and country characteristics
نویسنده
چکیده
This study examines the marginal intra-industry trade (MIIT) and its components horizontally, and marginal vertical intra-industry trade (MVIIT) applied to the United States. We present an alternative methodology to evaluate marginal intra-industry trade (MIIT) which was presented by Thom and McDowell (1999) and Azhar and Elliot (2008). Using a panel data approach, the results show a negative correlation between endowments and marginal intra-industry trade. These results indicate that marginal intra-industry trade occurs more frequently among countries that have similar demand. Our results also confirm the hypothesis that trade increases if the transportation costs decrease.

ON THE ECONOMIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MARGINAL INTRA-INDUSTRY TRADE AND LABOUR ADJUSTMENT IN A DIVISION OF LABOUR MODEL In the context of Ethier’s (1982) division of labour model, this paper accomplishes three tasks. First, we complement existing literature on the algebraic properties of marginal intra-industry trade (MIIT) measures by embedding one of these measures in a general equilibrium mod...
