The Selection of Trade Integration Indicators: Intraregional Share, Intensity, Homogeneous Intensity, and Introversion Index
Hamanaka, Shintaro | October 2015
Abstract
Introversion index, rather than intraregional trade share, should be used when comparing the level of trade
integration (both cross-regional and time series analyses). Further, since Asia is a group of heterogeneous
countries, a subregional level analysis is more appropriate in understanding the nature of its trade integration.
