Measuring Globalisation: OECD Economic Globalisation Indicators 2010
This second edition of the OECD Economic Globalisation Indicators presents a broad range of indicators showing the magnitude and intensity of globalisation. This process is becoming increasingly important for policymakers and other analysts, hence the need for a volume that brings together the existing measures, based on national data sources and comparable across countries. Together, the indicators shed new light on financial, technological and trade interdependencies within OECD and non-OECD countries.
Measures of globalisation include indicators on capital movements and foreign direct investments, international trade, the economic activity of multinational firms and the internationalisation of technology. In addition, the 2010 edition also includes indicators linked to the current financial crisis, portfolio investments, environmental aspects and the emergence of global value chains.

Intra-industry trade
Simultaneous exports and imports within the same industry are generally labelled as intra-industry trade. They typically occur among rich countries with a similar economic structure and level of development that are geographically close. Intra-industry trade often accompanies foreign direct investment, as multinational companies locate affiliates in different countries and trade goods and services between the affiliates and the parent company.
