“…Similarly to studies on manufacturing sectors, the results do not support comparative advantage explanation of vertical IIT (Milgram-Baleix and MoroEgido, 2010). Contrary to Fertő (2005) and Rasekhi and Shojaee (2012), agriculture-related variables are negative for most specifi cations. However, the results are similar to previous studies (e.g.…”

“…Leitão (2011) found that the agricultural IIT of the United States was positively infl uenced by average GDP, foreign domestic investment (FDI) and trade imbalance, while it had a negative relationship with differences in per capita GDP. Rasekhi and Shojaee (2012) showed that VIIT between Iran and its main trading partners and was positively infl uenced by land endowments, but negatively affected by the economic size of trading partners. Caetano and Galego (2007) found that determinants of HIIT and VIIT also differed within an enlarged Europe, although both had a statistically signifi cant relationship with a country's size and FDI.…”

“…However, recent studies support the view that agricultural markets can be characterised by imperfect competition (Sexton, 2013) and IIT has an increasing role in agricultural trade for both developed and developing countries (e.g. Wang, 2009;Leitão, 2011;Rasekhi and Shojaee, 2012;Varma, 2012;Fertő, 2015). Moreover, most research is focused on a single country and simply neglects the importance of horizontal/vertical distinction of IIT.…”

The article analyses country-and industry-specifi c determinants of horizontal and vertical intra-industry trade (IIT) in agri-food products between the Visegrad countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovak Republic) and the European Union in the period 1999-2013. The results show that IIT is mainly of a vertical nature in the Visegrad countries, though the majority of their exports consist of low quality/value-added agri-food products to European markets. The results obtained by generalised method of moments (GMM) panel model estimations suggest that factor endowments and distance are mainly negatively related to IIT, while product differentiation was found not to foster two-way trade of quality-differentiated goods. All model runs show a negative relationship between productivity as well as foreign direct investment and IIT.

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.

“…In fact, IIT happens when a country simultaneously imports and exports identical goods. In this kind of trade, a country can be the importer of the same good which exports it [4].…”

Objectives: Competitiveness is the ability of countries in increasing market share, profits, value added, and staying at the scene of fair and international competition for a long period of time. This is realized through market authority and establishing activities based on comparative and competitive advantages. On the other hand, the research-based pharmaceutical industry makes a major contribution to the prosperity of the world economy. It is a robust sector that has been one of the pillars of industrialized economies and is increasingly recognized as an important sector in the developing world as well. Furthermore, global sales of pharmaceutical products represent the international spread of medical technology that comes as the result of highly intensive R and D efforts in the exporting countries (International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Associations, 2012).The present study aimed to analyze and investigate the international competitiveness of pharmaceutical sector in selected developed countries using traditional and new indices of competitiveness. Methods:In this study, revealed comparative advantage index and also static and dynamic intra-industry trade (IIT) indices were used in the period 2000-2012. Results:The results indicated the growing competitiveness in most of the selected countries. Furthermore, the findings suggested that countries with higher levels of international trading of pharmaceutical goods have a higher potential of competitiveness based on IIT and comparative advantage indices. Conclusions:For increase in international competitiveness in pharmaceutical industry, selected developed countries pay attention to both comparative and competitive advantages.
