Abstract

In this paper, intra-industry trade (IIT) among developing countries is analyzed in two major sections. First, the extent of intra-industry trade of developing countries is described and compared to the IIT of industrial countries. Secondly, intra-industry trade among developing countries in general and newly-industrialized countries (NICs) in particular is analyzed at product level. The principal conclusions suggests that the trade of individual NICs with other NICs is well below 10 percent of their total exports, much lower than among industrial countries. More surprisingly, the level of IIT is lower among NICs than for NICs with the rest of the world. However, in categories such as capital-intensive products and investment goods, IIT is high, although the volume of trade is low.
