“…These findings are similar to Rasekhi and Shojaee () who found a positive relationship between VIIT and GDP per capita differences. Similarly to other studies on manufacturing sectors, results do not support the comparative advantage explanation of VIIT (Milgram‐Baleix and Moro‐Egido, ). Contrary to Fertő () and Rasekhi and Shojaee (), agriculture‐related variables are negative for most specifications.…”

“…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 ., ; Zhang and Li, ; Milgram‐Baleix and Moro‐Egido, ). 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 Martín, ; Fainštein and Netšunajev, ), though many found agricultural capital and HIIT to be positively related (Fainštein and Netšunajev, ; Leitão, ), contrary to these results.…”

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.

Country- and industry-specific determinants of intra-industry trade in agri-food products in the Visegrad countries

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.

“…There is a wealth of literature on the IIT between a particular EU Member State and its partner (see for recent examples Jensen and Lüthje, 2009;Milgram-Baleix and Moro-Egido, 2010). However, a significant proportion of the studies still focus on industrial products.…”

Horizontal intra-industry trade in agri-food products in the enlarged European Union

International trade theory suggests that advanced trade integration may lead to higher levels of intra-industry trade (IIT). The enlargement of the European Union (EU) during last decade is as a good example for which to analyse the IIT in agri-food products. The aim of the paper is to analyse the pattern and drivers of horizontal IIT within the EU between 1999 and 2010. Previous empirical studies fail to provide an exact link between the theory and the data. Thus, a new empirical strategy developed to test the predictions of Helpman and Krugman (1985) model is employed. At the country level, Belgium, France, Netherlands and Germany report the highest levels of IIT within the EU. The calculations mainly support Cieslik's (2005) proposal to fi nd the missing link between empirics and theory of IIT. In addition, the results are robust to alternative subsamples.
