Home-Market Effect in ICT Industry: An Empirical Test with Gravity Approach Based on the Data of the Intra-Industry Trade among 9 Asian Economies
This paper shows how the home-market effect can be estimated in a extended gravity model which is developed by Feenstra&markusen (1998 and 2001), we test the intra-industry trade of information and communication technology (ICT) industry among 9 newly industrialized and developing economies in east and south of Asia. The result indicates a reverse home-market effect (RHME), such a effect arises because Asians ICT goods which were produced initially for exporting are more and more absorbed by rapid growing domestic demands, further more, trade barriers also support a RHME.
