Abstract

The article is based on acknowledgment of the importance of the intra industry trade debate for each country, as well as the lack of comprehensive and integrated information on the issue of wood and wood products industry. This article contains two parts: The first part of the calculations is annual for the total wood and wood products industry during the period of 1391-1371 and the second part of the calculations for the year 1395 is broken down by tariff code for wood and wood products. The Grobel and Loyd and the Quality Index have been used to estimate intra-industry trade and determining its type. The results showed that Iran's exports and imports with countries such as Kuwait, Lebanon, Georgia, the Republic of Syria, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Hungary and Pakistan, respectively, with the amount of intra-industry trade 0/44, 0/44, 0/41, 0/39, 0/35, 0/28, 0/27 and 0/25 had the highest average intra-industry trade. Pakistan and Lebanon's industry trade is more of a high quality vertical type. Also, the results of in-industry trade on the basis of each tariff code in 1395 showed that intra-industry trade for 45, 46 (Except United Arab Emirates) and 47 codes were practically zero or zero. While there were countries that have in-industry trade more than zero for codes 44, 48, 49 and 94. Intra-industry trade for the Netherlands, Italy, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates and Kazakhstan in code 44, United Arab Emirates in code 46, Hong Kong, United Arab Emirates, Oman and Malaysia in code 48, Italy and the Russian Federation in code 49 is more Vertical Intra Industry type. . Intra-industry trade for code 94 just for Kuwait is more Horizontal Industry Trade type.
