The tendency for the accession countries in CEE to be specialized in industries such as textiles and apparel can be seen as parative advantages in labour intensive industries. With increased trade, such inter-industry specialization patterns are likely to be reinforced. At the same time, we would expect increased trade to also lead to increased specialization in activities within industries that reflect the countries’ comparative advantages.
When the entire process of producing a final good involves several different activities, such as conducting research and development, producing intermediate inputs, and assemble inputs into final products, there may be benefits from locating these different activities in different countries. Assembly activities are typically relatively labour intensive, and it may therefore be advantageous for a fir- m to carry out such activities in countries in which labour is cheap. Similarly, the production of labour intensive intermediate inputs will be produced more cheaply in low-wage countries, and the
