خلاصة:
egarding few studies of intra industry trade in the agricultural sector, this study have examined country-specific determinants of intra industry trade of agriculture in selected developing countries by using panel technique for trade data at 6-digit level of HS classification over time period 2001-2007. By employing Greenaway, Hine and Milner and Fontagné and Freudenberg approaches we’ve first divided intra industry trade into its types that is horizontal and vertical ones. Then, based on theoretical and empirical studies, we’ve estimated determinants of the types of intra industry trade. Overall and based on the results, it seems that the level of development and growth (Human development index) has a significant positive effect on intra industry trade of agriculture in countries under study. Also, the revealed comparative advantage has a significant positive effect on vertical intra industry trade and a significant negative effect on the horizontal intra industry trade in agricultural commodity groups. However, there is no definite result on the effect of exchange rate and trade openness.

90/ Country-Specific Determinants of Intra Industry Trade Types … 3- Model Estimation and Data Analysis Based on the literature of intra industry trade, the general form of IIT relationship (total, vertical and horizontal) in this study is as follows: {مراجعه شود به فایل جدول الحاقی} vertical), DEV represents the level of development, SIZE denotes market size, EX is the real exchange rate, CPD is the country level of product differentiation, FDI denotes the foreign direct investment, OPEN is the trade openness, RCA indicate the agricultural revealed comparative advantage, LAND represents the arable land and IMB is the trade imbalance.
Finally, the share of these types of intra industry trade in total trade is calculated based on the following relations: (View the image of this page) In the present study, level of development and growth are measured by HDI.
Revealed comparative advantage index is calculated as the difference between relative import advantage (RMA) and relative export advantage (RXA): (View the image of this page) {مراجعه شود به فایل جدول الحاقی} Another variables that is considered in some empirical studies, is trade imbalance that is used to control any bias in estimating IIT determinant and Rasekhi, S.
Variable coefficient of product differentiation in total and vertical IIT model has negative and in the selected equation HIIT has the expected positive and significant sign.
