Abstract
Two-Way Trade between Unequal Partners: The EU and the Developing Countries. — This paper analyses the intra-industry trade specialization between the EU and the developing countries between 1980 and 1992. It shows that EU intra-industry trade with the developing countries has greatly increased and that the traditional measure of intra-industry trade, the Grubel-Lloyd index, is inappropriate when applied to trade between developed and developing countries. By and large, the empirical analysis confirms that intra-industry trade between the developed and the developing countries increases with average and per capita income, and with reduced differences in economic size and capital-labour ratios.
Zusammenfassung
Wechselseitiger Handel zwischen ungleichen Partnern: Die EU und die Entwicklungsländer. — Der Verfasser untersucht die intra-industrielle Handelsspezialisierung zwischen der EU und den Entwicklungsländern zwischen dy1980 und 1992. Er zeigt, daβ der intra-industrielle Handel der EU mit den Entwicklungsländern erheblich zugenommen hat und daβ das traditionelle Maβ für intra-industriellen Handel, der Grubel-Lloyd-Index, ungeeignet ist, wenn er auf den Handel zwischen Industrieländern und Entwicklungsländern angewandt wird. Im groβen ganzen bestätigt die empirische Analyse, daβ der intra-industrielle Handel zwischen Industrie- und Entwicklungländern mit steigendem Durchschnitts- und Pro-Kopf-Einkommen zunimmt sowie dann, wenn die Unterschiede in der ökonomischen Gröβe und in der Kapitalintensität geringer werden.
