The analysis is based on a set of highly disaggregated intra-industry trade indices for 1961- 1990, complemented by sectoral employment statistics for EU countries and regions. It is found that, as predicted by the &#8220;new&#8221; theories, increasing returns industries are strongly concentrated at the economic core of the EU and display low levels of intra-industry trade. High tech industries are also highly localised, but show no centre-periphery gradient and no specific pattern of intra-industry trade. The main potential for future specialisation appears to remain in sectors sensitive to labour costs, which are still relatively dispersed and have high levels of intra-industry trade. Employment in these industries is shifting towards the EU periphery. &#8220;Classical&#8221; determinants of international specialisation are thus expected to dominate the impending adjustment process in EU manufacturing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1001107,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-441","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-unpublished-working-paper"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.unil.ch\/mariusbrulhart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/441","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.unil.ch\/mariusbrulhart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.unil.ch\/mariusbrulhart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/people.unil.ch\/mariusbrulhart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1001107"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/people.unil.ch\/mariusbrulhart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=441"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/people.unil.ch\/mariusbrulhart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/441\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.unil.ch\/mariusbrulhart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=441"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/people.unil.ch\/mariusbrulhart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=441"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/people.unil.ch\/mariusbrulhart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=441"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
