Intra-industrial Trade and Horizontal FDI: A Unified Model
2007 International Conference on Management Science and Engineering, 2007On the basis of previous research literature, this paper constructs a unified general equilibrium model of intra-industrial trade which can endogenize horizontal foreign direct investment (FDI) by introducing the horizontal multinational enterprises (MNEs) into the model of the new trade theory to illuminate the rationale for coexistence of intra ...

Intra-industry trade with Bertrand and Cournot oligopoly: The role of endogenous horizontal product differentiation [PDF]
Abstract This paper investigates the effect of endogenous horizontal product differentiation on trade patterns and the gains from trade under Bertrand and Cournot oligopoly. If trade occurs, Bertrand firms always differentiate their products more that Cournot firms. However, sufficiently high differentiation costs can prevent product differentiation.

Vertical and Horizontal Intra-Industry Trade: A Cross Industry Analysis for the United Kingdom
Economic Journal, 1995A large theoretical literature has emerged directed at explaining the presence of intra-industry trade (IIT). One of the distinctions which comes out of these models is that between horizontal IIT (where goods are differentiated by attributes) and vertical IIT (where goods are differentiated by quality). In this paper horizontal and vertical IIT in U.K.

Horizontal Intra-Industry Trade and the Growth of International Trade
2002The main question investigated in this chapter is whether a model of intra-industry trade with horizontal differentiation is able to explain the significant gap between the growth rates of trade and of output. We argue that it does, provided that the standard model of intra-industry trade (that is, the Dixit—Stiglitz—Krugman model) includes non-traded ...

HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL INTRA-INDUSTRY TRADE IN THE PROCESSED FOOD SECTOR
1998For the first time in the food trade literature, the determinants of intra-industry trade (IIT) in horizontally differentiated products and vertically differentiated products are separately tested using the most recent theoretical models of IIT. For both 1980 and 1990, the econometric results confirm country- and industry- specific determinants ...

Horizontal and Vertical Intra‐industry Trade: An Empirical Test of the ‘Homogeneity Hypothesis’
The World Economy, 2012AbstractIn this paper, we study if and how country‐specific factors affect intra‐industry trade (IIT) when heterogeneity among sectors is allowed for. The paper is novel in that it is the first that addresses an issue raised by Greenaway et al. (Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, 1999, 61, 365).

Varieties or Qualities? Horizontal and Vertical Intra-industry Trade within the NAFTA Trade Bloc
2005This article investigates empirically the nature and the dynamics of intra-regional trade in North America. Specifically, we analyze intra-NAFTA patterns of horizontal and vertical intra-industry trade - H(V)IIT - in the United States, Canada and Mexico over the 1992-2002 period and examine some industry characteristics of observed IIT patterns for ...
