The Grubel–Lloyd index measures intra-industry trade of a particular product. It was introduced by Herb Grubel and Peter Lloyd in 1971.
Calculation method: |

Xij - value of exports Mij - value of imports |
You need to create template in order to get your results. Fill in the templates with your data. For RCA and GLIIT only data on values for imports and exports are needed, while for TFCC and CI data on values and quantities for imports and exports are required. If you filled out the template properly, you upload the document and that's it. The results will pop up in a few seconds. In case you have a huge document, please wait, it may take a minute to calculate. In case something is wrong, please make sure you have filled in the templates correctly, that you have not accidentally changed something. If everything is fine and you have a problem, write to us.
GLIIT is divided into 4 categories for easier interpretation of the results. The first category are Strong inter-industrial trade tendencies, the second category are Weak inter-industrial trade tendencies, the third category are Weak intra-industrial trade tendencies, and the fourth category are Strong intra-industrial trade tendencies.
Interpretation of GLIIT results | |

Classification | Explanation |
0%<GLIIT<25% | Strong inter-industrial trade tendencies |
25%<GLIIT<50% | Weak inter-industrial trade tendencies |
50%<GLIIT<75% | Weak intra-industrial trade tendencies |
75%<GLIIT<100% | Strong intra-industrial trade tendencies |
For easier interpretation of the results and thanks to the capabilities of the software, it has been added cell coloring based on the value of the results. RCA is colored with a red gradient.
