This paper provides an empirical test of the SAH (smooth adjustment hypothesis) using the data on Portugal. According to the SAH, intra-industry trade leads to relatively lower adjustment costs in comparison to inter-industry trade. The paper tests the SAH by using a dynamic panel data analysis that takes into account lagged effects of changes in the MIIT (marginal intra-industry trade) index. The regressions u...
This paper uses a static and dynamic panel data approach to test the country specific deter minants of Portuguese intra industry trade (IIT). We include income variables together with sup ply side variables in order to test the demand similarity and factor endowments difference hypothe ses. The results suggest that the Linder hypothesis is confirmed and that differences in income lev els have positive effect on...
This paper studies the extent and determinants of intra-industry trade (IIT) in agricultural products of China for the period 1997-2006. The IIT index shows that the level of IIT in agricultural products between China and its thirteen main trading partners is not high. Using a panel data analysis, the empirical results of determinants of IIT indicate that differences in per-capita income and geographical distan...

By analyzing vertical intra-industry trade (VIIT) within Portugal's automobile parts and components industry, this study adds new empirical evidence for the international fragmentation of the production process. For trade partner countries, we choose the EU countries, the BRICs, and the US during the period 1995 to 2005. From panel data analysis, the empirical evidence supports the notion that shorter geographi...
This paper examines the lottery sales of 99 countries by type of product in order to analyze the socio¬economic and demographic features that help to explain gambling consumption around the world. With a panel data analysis covering 13 years, this study explains the variation of a country's per-capita lottery sales in general and by type of game: lotto, numbers, keno, toto, draw and instant. This paper found th...
This paper examines the determinants of vertical intra-industry trade (VIIT) in the automobile components industry between Portugal and the European Union 27 (EU-27) and the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) during the period 1995-2006. Using a static and a dynamic panel data analysis, the results indicate that VIIT is a positive function of the difference in per-capita GDP between Portugal and i...
According to the smooth adjustment hypothesis (SAH), the labor-market adjustment costs in the form of unemployed resources will be lower if trade expansion is intra-industry rather than inter-industry in nature. This is what we attempt to test empirically using the Brulhart (1994) marginal intra-industry trade (MIIT) index and a dynamic panel data analysis. Considering the contemporaneous effect the results do ...
