Vertical Specialization in the EU and the Causality of Trade

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2016
We use a novel classification scheme to identify three stages of production in the manufacturing sector: parts, components, and final goods. In particular, we offer evidence on the revealed comparative advantage of the EU-27 countries concerning the three vertically separated stages of production.

Tariffs, vertical specialization and oligopoly

European Economic Review, 2016
Abstract We examine optimal tariffs in an environment with vertical specialization where the Home country specializes in final goods and the Foreign country specializes in intermediate inputs. A matched Home–Foreign pair bargains simultaneously over the input price and the level of output, and competes a` la Cournot with other matched pairs in ...

The Dynamic Limits of Specialization: Vertical Integration Reconsidered

Organization Studies, 2005
Existing studies, largely based in transaction cost economics, approach the issue of vertical scope as the decision of the individual firm about whether to make or buy, given the set of existing markets and well defined vertical segments. However, recent research has shown that the ability to make or buy should not be taken for granted.

Vertical specialisation and gains from trade

The World Economy, 2020
AbstractMulti‐stage production is a significant source of gains from trade in many recent quantitative trade models. Meanwhile, specialisation across stages of production, or ‘vertical specialisation’, has been largely ignored in these models. In this paper, I provide evidence that vertical specialisation is a salient feature in the international trade

Special Designs: Vertical Pumps

1998
Preceding chapters on centrifugal pumps with horizontal-shaft construction should not obscure the fact that many centrifugal pumps utilize vertical-shafting. Vertical-shaft pumps fall into two separate classifications: (1) dry pit and (2) wet pit. The former operate surrounded by air, whereas the latter are either fully or partially submerged in the ...

Measuring Vertical Specialization: The Case of China

Review of International Economics, 2011
AbstractThe explosive growth of Chinese trade may be due to international production fragmentation, but few have assessed these phenomena together, in part, because it is difficult to measure the vertical specialization (VS) of China's trade. Unique features of China's processing trade cause both identification of imported inputs and their allocation ...

International Vertical Specialization, Imperfect Competition and Welfare [PDF]

, 2003
This paper looks at the impact of international vertical specialization when the final good industry is imperfectly competitive. Final goods are assembled out of different fragments. In the absence of international vertical specialization all fragments required to produce a given final good must be produced in the same country.
