title = "Vertical Specialization and Interregional Trade: Turbulence Analogy and Feedback Loops Analysis of the Midwest Economy",
abstract = "The renewed interest in international trade has drawn attention to the phenomenon of vertical specialization, the use of imported inputs for producing goods that are exported (Bruelhart, Hine 1999). The term vertical specialization was introduced by Balassa (1967); in a recent paper, Hummels et al. (1998) introduced and discussed the following definition of vertical specialization: ``(1) a good must be produced in multiple sequential stages, (2) two or more countries must specialize in producing some, but not all, stages, and (3) at least one stage must cross an international border more then once. Thus, countries link sequentially to produce a final good.''",
