Intra-industry trade as a factor of foreign trade security of border regions

Abstract

The intra-industry trade factor is considered by the author as one of the indicators of the assessment of threats to the economic security of the border regions of Russia. In order to verify this hypothesis, the author calculated the index of Grubel-Lloyd index and trade overlap index on the example of the border regions of the Siberian Federal District. It is shown that the share of the intra-industry trade characterizes the technological structure of the regional export and indirectly indicates to the level of the technological development of the border region. The analysis of the intra-industry trade indices allows us to estimate how much the region's economy depends on the situation on the world commodity and commodity markets and is able to resist the negative externality.
