dc.description.abstractThis paper aims to test several hypotheses on the determinants of the quality of trade incross-country regressions, taking a sample of trade competitors in EU markets. Thehypotheses are those underlying two models of VIIT: the so-called neo-H-O model based onfactor endowment and an ?economic geography? model based on market size and economicintegration. As the explanatory variables used (proxies for human capital, physical capital,market size and a dummy for market integration) significantly affect the dependent variable(unit-value differences), it seems plausible to conclude that these variables give rise tospecialisation in different segments of the quality spectrum. Much information is drawn fromthe analysis with respect to CEE specialisation in low-quality exports to EU markets. Inparticular, the estimates suggest the existence of a process of ?crowding out? of the existinghuman capital due to the process of economic transition. Moreover, the smaller market sizeof the EU accession countries could contribute to strengthen the disadvantage in high qualitysegments of production. In fact, the significant coefficient of the variable used to measuremarket size suggests that liberalisation might be accompanied by increased concentration ofhigh-quality productions in large markets. However, the geographic proximity to the core ofEurope could counterbalance this force. The integration process itself could accelerate theprocess of catching up in terms of quality of products and of per capita income, providingEastern producers with a larger market and potential for economies to scale.en
