“…Factor endowments, measured in two ways, are shown to be negatively related to VIIT, as Gabrisch () also showed. Our findings are also in line with those of Fainštein and Netšunajev (), analysing IIT patterns in the Baltic States and showing that market size was positively related to IIT, while a negative relationship between distance and share of IIT was found together with a negative correlation between differences in human capital and IIT.…”

“…These findings are consistent with the majority of the literature, finding negative relationships between factor endowments, distance and HIIT, and positive relationships between economic size and HIIT (Greenaway et al, 1994;Zhang and Li, 2006;Milgram-Baleix and Moro-Egido, 2010). As to agriculture-related factor endowments, these results are in line with some research in finding a negative relationship between agricultural labour and HIIT (Blanes and Mart ın, 2000;Fain stein and Net sunajev, 2011), though many found agricultural capital and HIIT to be positively related (Fain stein and Net sunajev, 2011;Leitão, 2012), contrary to these results. As to the positive relationship between liberalised trade (proxied here by NMS regional trade and EU accession) and HIIT, results are consistent with the majority of the literature (Zhang and Li, 2006;Ambroziak, 2012).…”

Intra‐industry trade (IIT) has become a widespread phenomenon with a growing role in international trade, though agricultural trade is usually neglected in empirical works. This article identifies the determinants of horizontal and vertical intra‐industry agri‐food trade between New Member States (NMS) and the EU‐27 in 1999–2010, by applying static and dynamic models with different specifications to panel data. Results show that IIT is mainly of a vertical nature in the NMS, though the majority of NMS export low quality agri‐food products to EU‐27 markets. Factor endowments are negatively related to agri‐food horizontal intra‐industry trade (HIIT), but positively to vertical intra‐industry trade (VIIT). Economic size is positively and significantly related to both types of IIT, while distance and IIT are found to be negatively related in both cases. Results also suggest that HIIT and VIIT are greater if a New Member State exports agri‐food products to another NMS while EU accession has had positive and significant impacts on both HIIT and VIIT, suggesting that economic integration fosters IIT.

“…Moreover, recent studies on intra-industry trade in goods have shown a dramatic increase in trade in intermediate inputs (Bernatonyte 2012;Bernatonyte, Normantiene 2007;Fainštein, Netšunajev 2011). Although most empirical works have focused on manufacturing, recent studies such as that conducted by Backer and Miroudot (2013) point out that not only the use but also the production of services is becoming global.…”

“…Moreover, changing bilateral differences in personal income distribution during the transition of the 'new' EU Member States were found to contribute to changes in VIIT. Fainštein and Netšunajev (2011) showed that market size was positively related to IIT in the Baltic States. However, a negative relationship between distance and the share of IIT was found, together with a negative correlation between difference in human capital and 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.
