Zusammenfassung
Intra-industrieller und inter-industrieller Auβenhandel der Schweiz. — Eine wachsende Zahl empirischer Untersuchungen hat gezeigt, daβ der intra-industrielle Handel einen relativ groβen Teil des gesamten Auβenhandels eines Landes ausmacht, besonders wenn es sich um Industrieländer handelt. Auβerdem scheint der Befund darauf hinzudeuten, daβ die Bedeutung dieses Phänomens zunimmt. In diesem Aufsatz werden zwei verschiedene Meβkonzepte des intraindustriellen Handels benutzt, um die Bedeutung dieses Teils des schweizerischen Auβenhandels zwischen 1965 und 1977 zu untersuchen und die Schweizer Erfahrung mit der einer Anzahl anderer westeuropäischer Länder zu vergleichen. Die Ergebnisse lassen vermuten, daβ der beobachtete intra-industrielle Austausch nicht allein mit dem Hinweis auf die Aggregation der Warenkategorien erklärt werden kann und daβ das Phänomen für die Schweiz von geringerer Bedeutung ist als für andere westeuropäische Volkswirtschaften.
Résumé
Le commerce intra-industriel et inter-industriel de la Suisse. — Un nombre accroissant des recherches empiriques a démontré que le commerce intraindustriel est responsable pour une part relativement grande du commerce total particulièrement si le commerce des économies développés de marché est concerné. De plus, l’évidence semble suggérer que l’importance de ce phénomène a augmenté. Cet article applique deux mesures différentes du commerce intra-industriel pour analyser l’importance du phénomène sur la période 1965–1977 et pour comparer l’expérience de la Suisse avec lesquelles d’un nombre des autres pays européens occidentaux. Les résultats suggèrent que le commerce intra-industriel ne peut pas Être expliqué exclusivement en référant à l’agrégation catégorielle et que le phénomène est moins important que dans des autres économies européennes occidentales.
Resumen
Comercio intra-industrial e inter-industrial de Suiza. — Un cuerpo creciente de evidencia empfrica ha demostrado que el comercio intra-industrial contabiliza una proportión relativamente grande del comercio total, especialmente cuando se refiere a economías de mercado desarrolladas. Adicionalmente, la evidencia parece sugerir que la importancia del fenómeno ha ido aumentando. Este estudio utiliza dos medidas diferentes de comercio intra-industrial para examinar la importancia del fenómeno para el período 1965–1977 y comparar la experiencia suiza con aquélla de una serie de otros países europeos occidentales. Los resultados sugieren que la intra-industria registrada y el intercambio no pueden ser explicados solamente con referencia a agregatión categórica, y que el fenómeno es menos importante que en otras economías europeas occidentales.
