Abstract

Intra-industry trade is trade among countries with similar factor endowments and in commodities with similar factor intensities (Davis, 1995, p. 204). According to the HO theory, such trade must be nonexistent.2 Not so in the real world. Trade among countries in the European Union has been developing fast, and intra-industry trade much faster than the rest of the trade. Thus, countries are not only specializing in products of different industries but also in different varieties of the same commodity from within the same industry. What are the reasons for intra-industry trade? The reasons are many and they have nothing to do with factor proportions.
