Modelling the Influence of Foreign Direct Investment on Vertical and Horizontal Intra-industry Trade in the Countries of East-Central Europe

Summary/Abstract: EU enlargement has brought about geographical reorientation and the intensification of foreign trade among many new EU members, including the four new members of East Central Europe. Particularly, the importance of vertical and horizontal intra-industry trade has increased in these countries, as has the value of FDI. How FDI influences intra industry trade types in East-Central European countries is an interesting question that the paper tries to answer through the application of panel data models. Data from Eurostat about foreign direct investment, export and import in manufacturing industries in the years 2000–2008 are used in the research.
