“…He found that differences in the country size and income were positively related to IIT as are FDI, while the distance and IIT showed a negative relationship. Pittiglio (2014) analysed intra-industry trade of intermediate goods in Italy and concluded that differences in the factor endowments and the R&D as well as the regional trade agreements enhanced VIIT, while the distance and VIIT was negatively related. Jámbor (2014) and Fertő and Jámbor (2015) analysed the country specific determinants of IIT for agri-food products for the NMS and found that the factor endowments are ambiguously related to the agri-food horizontal and vertical intra-industry trade.…”

Th e article analyses the country and industry specifi c determinants of the horizontal and vertical intra-industry agri-food trade between the Baltic Countries and the European Union in 1999-2013. Results obtained by the GMM panel model estimations suggest that distance is negatively related to IIT, implying that geographical distance is an obstacle for intra-industry agri-food trade. Moreover, factor endowments are ambiguously related to IIT as land is found to be negatively, while labour and machinery to be positively related to both sides of the IIT. Results also show that product diff erentiation fosters two way trade of the quality-diff erentiated goods as a positive relationship exists between the agricultural employment and IIT. As to productivity, all model runs show a negative relationship for HIIT but positive for VIIT, implying that low-quality product exports dominate the agri-food trade of the Baltic Countries. Furthermore, FDI was also found to have a negative relationship with IIT, suggesting that foreign capital does not foster IIT.

“…Halbuki, küresel değer zincirleri gerçekte hem endüstri içi hem de endüstriler arası ticareti kapsamakta (OECD ve CEFTA, 2013) ve KDZ'ler ile endüstri-içi ticaret ürün farklılaşmasından çok, üretimin parçalanması sonucunda artan ara mal ticaretinden kaynaklanmaktadır. Bu sebeple, ara malların endüstri içi ticaretini nihai malların endüstri içi ticaretinden ayrı değerlendirilmek önemlidir (Pittiglio, 2014).…”

Küresel Değer Zincirlerinin (KDZ) ticarete olan etkisi Dünya Ticaret Örgütü gibi uluslararası organizasyonlar ve birçok konunun uzmanı ekonomist tarafından “paradigmal kayma” olarak nitelenmektedir. (IDE-JETRO ve WTO, 2011, s.6). Yaşanan köklü değişim dış ticaret politikası hedeflerinin yeniden belirlenmesi ihtiyacını doğurmanın yanı sıra, geleneksel analiz yöntemlerinin de hem ampirik hem de teorik anlamda sorgulanmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, KDZ’lerin analizinde kullanılan yeni göstergelerin değişen politika hedefleri ile ilişkisini vurgulayarak ampirik analizlere temel oluşturacak bütüncül ve genel bir çerçeve sunmaktır. Bununla birlikte çalışma, yerel literatürdeki diğer çalışmalardan farklı olarak Türkiye odaklı ampirik bir analizi içermemektedir. Çalışmanın sonucunda, azaltılması geleneksel dış ticaret politikası hedefleri arasında önem arz eden ithalat bağımlılığının KDZ’ler içindeki ülkelerin ticari bağımlılıklarını tanımlamakta eksik, hatta hatalı olduğu anlaşılmış ve ülkelerin iktisadi bağımsızlıklarını belirlemekte zincirdeki pazarlık güçlerini ve katma değer paylarını önceleyen bir yaklaşım geliştirilmiştir. Ayrıca ülke rolleri de tartışılmış ve yönetici ülkelerin zincirin sonunda veya başında konumlanabildikleri görülmüştür. Çalışma, HIY’in (2001) Dikey Uzmanlaşma Endeksi’nin yanı sıra daha birçok yeni dış ticaret göstergesini açıklayarak ve karşılaştırarak bir sentez sunmuştur.

“…Unfortunately, CI research continues to insist that consumers rate hypothetical products and services based on country associations despite the inadequate and incomplete origin information. The prominence of global sourcing in manufacturing supply chains leading to the rise of trade in intermediate goods (Ali and Dadush, 2011; Pittiglio, 2014), usually as components, further obscures CI information from consumers and requires B2B buyers to be the source of reliable origin information. Such a persistent departure from reality enabled researchers to criticize existing CI research for being overly dependent on consumer samples and unrealistic purchasing scenarios.…”

Purpose To date, country-of-origin research has commonly explored structural relationships among country image (CI) constructs, together with attitudinal constructs, using a variety of halo, summary construct and flexible models, drawing on consumer samples. There has been no previous attempt to examine or synthesize these three models with respect to business-to-business (B2B) buying behavior. To fill this gap, this study reconceptualized these three models with B2B constructs using multi-cue settings and tested on B2B samples. This study aims to examine and estimate the relative impact of company- and country-specific images on B2B buyers’ evaluations of suppliers, and the direction of structural relationships with mediation among the constructs. Design/methodology/approach Data collection was administered through a web-based structured questionnaire. The final sample consisted of 276 purchasing managers. Structural equation modeling was used to test the study’s hypotheses. Findings Company image is significantly influenced by product country image (PCI) but not by overall CI. The existence of a significant relationship between PCI and perceived supplier performance in a multi-cue setting is an important new finding. In addition, company image significantly influences supplier performance and mediates the relationship between PCI and supplier performance. Among the three models that test structural relationships among CI and other constructs, the reconceptualized halo model fits the data best. Practical implications The study results revealed the contribution of company and country-related facets on B2B buyers’ perceptions of supplier performance while purchasing intermediate goods internationally. The significance of PCI on supplier performance emphasizes the strength of the industry sector within a country that may enable an industry to build a product-specific CI in international marketing. Originality/value This study advances the country-of-origin issue and debate concerning the strength of the country influence in the academic literature by addressing B2B buyers’ international purchasing behavior of intermediate goods. Additionally, the examination of multiple country facets, multi-cue settings and the CI influence structure in a single study, from a B2B perspective, offers a novel dimension to CI studies.
