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.

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 ...

This practice gives rise to vertical specialization across national boundaries. Here, the U.S.
