“…Accordingly, a peculiar type of IIT had to be envisaged: two-way trade of qualitatively differentiated products (e.g. Abd-el Rahman 1986, 1991CEPII 1997;Greenaway et al 1994Greenaway et al , 1995Fontagné et al 1998;Freudenberg 1997, 2002).…”

A Systematic Decomposition of World Trade into Horizontal and Vertical IIT

We provide a systematic decomposition of world trade using harmonized bilateral flows at the most available detail (some 5,000 product categories), into three trade types: inter-industry, intra-industry in horizontally and in vertically differentiated products. The analysis is diachronic and considers country pairs such as France-Germany, United States-China, Malaysia-Singapore, or India-Nigeria. We show that the increase in IIT at the world level is due to two-way trade of vertically differentiated products. We find France and Germany having the highest share of IIT in their bilateral trade among all country pairs in the world. In value terms, the most important bilateral IIT is between the United States and Canada. Recently, specialization according to the classical theories of international trade (inter-industry trade), has recovered, due to the increasing participation of emerging economies in world trade

“…There are now three, broadly similar, methods that have been employed: the first, suggested by (hereafter GHM), builds upon a methodology proposed by Abd-el-Rahman (1991); the second, developed by Fontagné and Freudenberg (1997) (hereafter FF) builds upon Abd-el-Rahman (1984;1986); and the third, constructed by Azhar and Elliott (2006) addresses a number of concerns with the GHM and FF approaches and presents a geometric tool called the product quality space (PQS) and a related set of indices that allow the researcher to estimate more accurately the level of unit value dispersion so that the researcher can measure differences in product quality in IIT. This third approach provides a starting point and the second foundation stone for the construction of our MQ index.…”

“…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

2012

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.
