I. INTRODUCTION
Asian countries’ participation in global trade has increased substantially during the last two decades. Globalization has altered Asia’s trade patterns and paved the way for the internationalization of production networks linking across borders. The rapid growth of trade is closely related to specialization, where consumers seek “product variety” or indulge in “love for variety.” Trade specialization through
Hence, IIT is a phenomenon that arises when a country simultaneously exports and imports goods produced by the same industry (Balassa, 1986). IIT is presumed to occur between developed countries with similar factor endowments. However, it is argued that, within Asian economies, IIT also plays a vital role in the production process, trade, and growth (Sawyer et al., 2010). Asian economies are the major players in international fragmentation, as production of goods fragmented into several stages, with each stage produced in the most
The literature in the context of IIT is mostly focused within major three strands: i) measuring IIT (Grubel and Lloyd, 1975: Brulhart, 1994), ii) theoretical developments within IIT (Linder, 1961; Falvey, 1981; Helpman and Krugman, 1985), and iii) empirical studies examining the determinants of IIT (Bergstrand, 1983; Balassa, 1986; Andresen, 2003; Zhang and Li, 2006; Clark and Denise, 1999). In the third strand, many empirical studies have analyzed the determinants of IIT among Asian economies (Menon, 1996; Sohn and Zhang, 2005; Thorpe and Zhang, 2005; Cortinhas, 2007; Sawyer et al., 2010). However, the bilateral analysis of Asian countries such as India and Indonesia is a less explored area of research. A bilateral trade analysis is more focused than a multilateral one, since it is between two countries. Moreover, a bilateral analysis explores the comparative advantages between the two countries, the scope of economies of scale, and possible areas of specialization that can help in framing policies to reduce trade barriers and in developing regional trade agreements. Hence, the present study analyzes the trade pattern of India with Indonesia by exploring the determinants of IIT between the two countries.
India, one of the emerging economies in the world, has extensively involved in international trade and developed strong multilateral and bilateral trade relations with major countries. Economic reforms initiated in 1991 led to significant changes in the country’s trade patterns and direction. In 1991, India’s commodity trade was primarily dominated by Organization for Economic Co- operation and Development (OECD) countries, with an export share of 56.6% and

an import share of 57.2%, but, by
Among Asian economies, India’s trade with Indonesia also increased substantially during this period. Indonesia has emerged as India’s largest trading partner within Asia.

Figure 2 shows Indonesia as the sixth largest import source for India. India’s import basket mainly consists of coal and crude palm oil, minerals, rubber, pulp and paper, and hydrocarbons reserves, whereas India exports refined petroleum products, maize, commercial vehicles, telecommunication equipment, oil seeds, animal feed, cotton, steel products, and plastics to Indonesia (Ministry of Commerce, India 2016). Given the large trade imbalance between India and Indonesia, it is essential to analyze the inherent pattern of trade between the two. This bilateral analysis will help understand the potential of trade specialization and trade reciprocity and further devise suitable policies to promote bilateral ties between the two countries.
We hypothesize that countries with similar per capita incomes will have similar demand structures and export similar products, with greater IIT, in line with Linder (1961). Accordingly, consumers’ tastes are conditioned by their income levels and create product demand and this demand structure generates a production response. Hence, countries with similar per capita incomes will have similar demand structures and will export similar goods. On the other hand, greater differences in per capita income lead to greater disparity in the demand structures of the countries, which will be reflected in lower relative levels of IIT (Loertscher and Wolter, 1980; Greenaway et al., 1994).3 Second, we

also presume that disparities in human capital endowments will reduce IIT. As Balassa (1986) shows, differences in human capital endowments largely explain
The approach of this study is to estimate a standard IIT equation by incorporating the above factors as independent variables, using annual data from
Hardly any studies have analyzed the patterns of trade between India and Indonesia using the IIT concept and exploring specialization.4 Our results mostly indicate that policies that help open up trade and invite FDI will help a country specialize in trade and hence gain from it. Our results are in line with those of Markusen and Venables (1998, 2000) Leamer (1988), and Harrigan (1994), for example.
The remainder of this paper is organized as follows. Section II presents the theoretical background and measurement of IIT. Section III describes the empirical model. Section IV discusses the data and econometric methodology. Section V presents the empirical findings and Section VI concludes the paper.

The development of the IIT concept is based on new trade theories. New trade theories consider monopolistic competition with increasing returns to scale, as opposed to the perfect competition and constant returns to scale envisaged by the HOS model. One of the first extensions of HOS theory was developed by Linder (1961), who proposed demand similarity5 which contributes to trade in undifferentiated products. This important extension of HOS theory is well elaborated by Helpman and Krugman (1985). Similarly, Falvey (1981) and Falvey and Kierzkowski (1987) have developed an underlying theory behind IIT based on factor endowment envisaged in the HOS trade theory. The recent theory of IIT developed by Davis (1995) based on technological differences between countries is founded on traditional trade theory, which also emphasizes factor endowment as a determinant of comparative advantage among countries. Hence, factor endowment is considered an important factor in both IIT and comparative advantage theories.
Krugman (1981) has developed theory on trade in the presence of monopolistic competition and shows that economies of scale and product differentiation are the two main factors that differentiate modern trade theory from the HOS trade model and they are important in determining the level of IIT between countries. Similarly, Leamer (1988) and Harrigan (1994, 1996) demonstrate that opening up markets leads to larger trade volumes and, hence, increases the likelihood of IIT between certain countries. Furthermore, Markusen and Venables (1998, 2000) find FDI to be an important factor that contributes to product differentiation and increases in the volume of IIT. As observable from the
In the Indian context, studies have primarily focused on examining the pattern and determinants of IIT from a multilateral trade perspective. Veeramani (2002) examines India’s IIT with a group of developed and developing countries and finds that its IIT with developed countries is more intense than that with developing countries. The study also finds that the key determinants are per capita income differences, technology gaps, and differences in human capital endowment. Veeramani (2007) finds that exports promoting FDI have a positive impact on India’s IIT. Similarly, Burange and Chaddha (2008) find that IIT in industrial goods increased from

In this study, the extent of India’s bilateral IIT with Indonesia is computed using the standard

where Xij and Mij are the home country’s (i.e. India) exports of industry i to partner country j (i.e. Indonesia) and the home country’s imports of industry i from partner country j, respectively. Thus, the IITij index in equation (1) measures the share of IIT in industry i with country j. If all trade in industry i is IIT, that is, Xij = Mij, then IITij = 1. Similarly, if all trade in industry i is

To construct India’s bilateral IIT index with Indonesia, we take India’s exports and imports of commodities to and from Indonesia, by industry, for the period 1995 to 2017. Following the Broad Economic Categories (BEC) classification of the United Nations (UN), we use the

III. EMPIRICAL MODEL OF BILATERAL IIT
We specify the following bilateral IIT equation in
(3)
where i stands for the home country, India; j stands for its respective trading partner, Indonesia; β1 , β2 , β3 , β4 , β5 , and β6 , are the parameters to be estimated; β0 is the intercept; t denotes time; and εijt stands for the error term. All variables are expressed in logarithmic form. The variable IIT indicates the weighted Grubel– Lloyd index for India’s trade with Indonesia. Similarly, RDPCI is the relative difference in per capita income between India and Indonesia, an indicator of demand structure and a proxy for inequality in economic development. In other words, the difference in per capita income measures the extent of variation in demand for differentiated products. IIT would tend to be more intense between countries with more similar levels of per capita income.
7Increasing economies of scale have a
514Bulletin of Monetary Economics and Banking, Volume 21, 12th BMEB Call for Papers Special Issue (2019)
The variable TB is the trade balance between India and Indonesia, where the higher the trade imbalance, the lower the IIT (β1 < 0). In other words, lowering trade barriers and opening up a country to trade promotes simultaneous exports and imports in the same industry and reduces trade imbalances and hence increases IIT. Apart from that, since the IIT indexes are generally biased toward trade imbalance, the trade balance is usually included in models of IIT determination to correct for this (Xing, 2007).
The variable FDI stands for inflows of FDI from partner countries to the home country. Higher FDI from partner countries is expected to increase the home country IIT, since it leads to product differentiation and higher economies of scale and hence β3 > 0.8 In other words, FDI promotes IIT, particularly when foreign companies are set up to take advantage of the host country’s factor endowments and their production is subsequently exported back to it.
The variable MSD stands for the market size differential between the home country and the partner country. The greater the Market Size Differential (MSD), the lower the level of IIT between countries (β4 < 0). “As economies become more similar in terms of their market size, the potential for overlapping demand for differentiated products is enhanced” (Sawyer et al., p.487,2010). The variable HKE captures the difference in the level of human capital endowment between the home and partner countries. Large differences in factor endowments can reduce IIT and increase
IV. DATA AND METHODOLOGY
The study uses annual data from 1995 to 2017. Disaggregated bilateral export and import data are obtained from the UN’s Comtrade Database and the rest of the data is from the World Bank and UNESCO websites9. The beginning period analysis is attributed to the availability of disaggregated bilateral trade data on India and Indonesia under the BEC classification. The details of the measurement of the variables in Equation (3) are given in the Appendix.
Equation (3) is estimated using the ARDL cointegration procedure developed by Pesaran and Shin (1999) and Pesaran et.al (2001). This test can be performed irrespective of whether variables in the model are purely I(0), purely I(1), or mutually cointegrated. The ARDL cointegration procedure involves two steps. The first step is to examine the existence of a
8There are two different schools of thought on the relationship between FDI and IIT. One school argues that goods produced in multinational economies are differentiated and involved firms engage in either horizontally or vertically trading the differentiated goods to meet different incomes and tastes. The second school of thought states that most IIT is

Additionally, the estimated coefficient of the Market Size Differential (MSD) exhibits a positive sign, which is theoretically unexpected but statistically insignificant. This finding indicates that the disparity in market size between the two countries does not prevent the growth of IIT. The difference in Human Capital Endowment (HKE), however, is statistically significant and exhibits a negative sign. The greater the disparity in human capital endowment, the lower the IIT, which suggests that reduction of the disparity in human capital endowments between countries through better skills training and education, for example, can improve IIT. Finally, the trade openness variable (Open) is positive and statistically significant, suggesting that India’s trade liberalization has expanded IIT. This result is consistent with theoretical expectations.

is eliminated within one year. The diagnostics statistics reported in Table 6 do not show any serial correlation or autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity effects in the residuals of the error correction model. Further, the models confirm normality in the residuals and a functional form test does not indicate any model misspecification. Moreover, the cumulative sum (CUSUM) and cumulative sum of squares (CUSUMQ) of the recursive residuals do not show evidence of any instability of the coefficients across sample periods. For a robustness check, first, we include slope dummy variables to capture the effects of the Indonesian financial crisis in 1998 and the global financial crisis in 2008 on IIT. Second, we use the Akaike information criterion as an alternative lag selection criterion. The estimated long- run coefficients are reported in Table 6 and show that the financial crises did not have a significant effect on bilateral IIT. Similarly, the overall empirical findings are consistent with the previous results reported Table 6.
VI. CONCLUSION
India initiated the economic reforms during the early 1990s and its trade patterns have changed substantially. Focusing on India’s growing trade with Indonesia, this paper analyzes the dynamic changes of India’s bilateral IIT in commodity trade. IIT measures the simultaneous export and import of goods with the same product categories and hence an increase in IIT indicates progress in product variety, improved economies of scales, and reduced technology gaps with trading partners.
The study calculates a bilateral IIT index using commodity trade data at the
This paper also investigates the determinants of IIT and shows that the per capita income gap between the two countries has a significant role in determining IIT, indicating that dissimilar demand structures between countries can create barriers to extensively exchanging goods in the same categories. Similarly, the evidence from the analysis also notes the significant role of FDI in improving IIT, indicating that trade facilitation through FDI leads to greater product differentiation and more intense IIT. Hence
Finally, policies that facilitate more trade and fair trade by reducing barriers can undoubtedly improve economies of scale in trade between countries. Our empirical findings demonstrate that trade imbalance significantly reduces the
