Dissecting intra-industry trade

Johannes Van Biesebroeck

Economics Letters, 2011, vol. 110, issue 2, 71-75

Abstract: We show that gradually most U.S. manufacturing trade has become intra-industry, even at the finest level of aggregation. This also holds for the E.U. and increasingly for China, but only if goods are not classified by quality; Japanese trade remains far more inter-industry.
