Economic Integration and Intra‐Industry Trade: The EEC and CMEA Compared
研究了产业内贸易与经济一体化之间的因果关系，比较了欧共体与经互会成员国的产业内贸易水平，发现欧共体国家的平均水平更高，并讨论了原因。
SUMMARY This paper examines the causal links between intra‐industry trade and economic integration, and considers whether these can be expected to differ systematically between customs unions involving developed market economies and those involving centrally planned economies. Intra‐industry trade is measured for members of the E. E. C. and compared with indices for various members of CMEA (as well as several non‐E. E. C. European countries). It is found that average levels of intra‐industry trade are indeed higher for E. E. C. countries and various explantations for this finding are discussed.
