“…There is a wide consensus in the literature that IIT entails lower costs of factor market adjustment than inter-industry trade (Balassa 1966). To analyse the dynamic adjustment we use the marginal intra-industry trade (MIIT) measure developed by Brülhart (1994), which is the following:…”

Terms of use: Documents in AbstractThis paper analyses trade specialisation dynamics in two Eastern European countries (Romania and Bulgaria -EEC-2) vis-à-vis the core EU member states (EU-15) over the period [1990][1991][1992][1993][1994][1995][1996][1997][1998][1999][2000][2001][2002][2003][2004][2005][2006]. Specifically, we focus on whether there is a shift towards intra-industry trade leading to economic convergence and technological catch-up. We use recently developed static (FEM, REM and FEVD) and dynamic (GMM) panel data methods which take into account possible heterogeneity. Our empirical results indicate that intra-industry trade has indeed increased, but it is of the vertical rather than the horizontal type, resulting in complementary rather than competitive production patterns.

“…To construct these measures, we start from the marginal intra-industry trade index (MIIT) proposed by Brülhart (1994). This measure consists of a transposition of the Grubel and Lloyd (1975) intra-industry trade index (GL) to a dynamic setting, and is defined as:…”

This paper introduces new dynamic measures for examining changes in international trade patterns. Using data for 20 OECD countries over the 1980-2000 period, we show that inter-industry trade changes contrary to countries' previous specialization are frequently the dominant form of trade expansion. The econometric analysis indicates that the observed changes in trade patterns were explained by initial endowments of human-capital and industry-specific changes in labour productivity and labour costs. The results also suggest that trade liberalization induced an increase in the previous specialization of larger OECD economies in industries with increasing returns to scale. JEL no. F1, O33, O50

“…For this reason, we have retained the traditional Grubel-Lloyd measure (to identify the importance of intra-industry flows in a static sense) but have also included a selection of these 'new' measures of IIT to provide an indication of the extent to which industry trade lies behind recent changes in international tourism. Brülhart (1994Brülhart ( , 2001) proposed a dynamic measure of IIT (normally referred to as A ij ) where:…”

Tourism and Empirical Applications of International Trade Theory: A Multi-Country Analysis

et al. 2007

This paper examines the application of quantitative techniques to further our understanding of international trade theory with respect to tourism flows. The analyses are based on the construction of Balassa and Grubel-Lloyd Indices, as well as the construction of dynamic indices. The results of the analyses suggest that international trade theory has much to offer the study of international tourism flows. Many countries seem to specialize as both exporters and importers of tourism services. The analyses also explore the theoretical assertion that intra-industry trade is likely to be of importance in understanding international tourism flows.
