Intra-industry Trade in Identical Commodities

No 275158, Queen's Institute for Economic Research Discussion Papers from Queen's University - Department of Economics

Abstract: The usual approach to intra-industry trade is to assume that such trade arises because slightly different commodities are produced and traded to satisfy consumers' tastes for variety. In this paper it is shown that there are reasons to expect two-way trade even in identical products, due to strategic interaction among firms.
