“…Similar to Caetano and Galego () and Jensen and Lüthje (), country size, income per capita differences and geographic distance appear as the most important driving forces of IIT in the NMS. 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.…”

Country‐Specific Determinants of Horizontal and Vertical Intra‐industry Agri‐food Trade: The Case of the EU New Member States

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.

“…Gabrisch () looked at the determinants of VIIT between old and new Member States of the EU and found that country‐pair fixed effects were strongly significant in explaining VIIT. More concretely, technology differences were positively, while differences in factor endowment were negatively, correlated with VIIT.…”

“…Furthermore, countries with a large income distribution overlap tended to have a large VIIT, while countries far from each other had a lower VIIT than the countries close to each other. Gabrisch (2009) was searching for the determinants of VIIT between the old and new member states of the EU and found the country-pair fixed effects to be of a high relevance for explaining the vertical intra-industry trade. More concretely, the technology differences were positively, while the differences in the factor endowment were negatively correlated with the vertical intra-industry trade.…”

Th e article analyses the country and industry specifi c determinants of the horizontal and vertical intra-industry agri-food trade between the Baltic Countries and the European Union in 1999-2013. Results obtained by the GMM panel model estimations suggest that distance is negatively related to IIT, implying that geographical distance is an obstacle for intra-industry agri-food trade. Moreover, factor endowments are ambiguously related to IIT as land is found to be negatively, while labour and machinery to be positively related to both sides of the IIT. Results also show that product diff erentiation fosters two way trade of the quality-diff erentiated goods as a positive relationship exists between the agricultural employment and IIT. As to productivity, all model runs show a negative relationship for HIIT but positive for VIIT, implying that low-quality product exports dominate the agri-food trade of the Baltic Countries. Furthermore, FDI was also found to have a negative relationship with IIT, suggesting that foreign capital does not foster 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.
