“…Standard trade theory leads to the expectation that trade with low-wage countries is predominantly of the inter-industry, rather than of the intra-industry type, as it is the case between industrialised countries. In order to test this hypothesis, we rely on a methodology initiated by Abd-El-Rahman (1986a, 1986b and further developed by Freudenberg and Müller (1992) and Fontagné, Freudenberg, Péridy and Ünal-Kesenci (1995) 12 . The principle of the method is to carry out a detailed analysis of French bilateral trade flows at the 8-digit level (10,000 products) and to decompose total trade with each partner into three categories:…”

This chapter examines the effects of international trade on the French labour market. Between 1977 and 1993, trade with countries with GDP per capita less than that of France resulted in job losses of around 350,000, mostly low-skilled workers. However, this loss was mainly due to changes in trade balance rather than the factor content of trade. Trade affected the productive efficiency of industries and the average skill of their labour demand. These effects were not specific to trade with developing countries.

“…Three methods have been proposed to disentangle horizontal and vertical intraindustry trade. These three methods rely on the same two basic assumptions regarding prices, unit values and quality of traded products, pioneered by Abd-El-Rahman (1986a, 1986b. First, it is assumed that differences in prices for an item mirror differences in quality (Stiglitz, 1987).…”

Intra-Tourism Trade in Europe

The purpose of this paper is to contribute to our understanding of the empirics of trade in tourism services by studying bilateral intratourism trade for a sample of 14 member states of the European Union during the period 2000-2004. The authors apply the most up-to-date and robust method available in the literature to distinguish vertically and horizontally differentiated products: the Azhar and Elliott method (2006). The results clearly show that, contrary to conventional wisdom, a large proportion of European countries simultaneously exports and imports comparable amounts of tourism services. Moreover, the predominance of vertical differentiation in these intra-tourism flows suggests that international specialization is taking place in Europe within the tourism sector itself, along the spectrum of quality.
