Grubel-Lloyd Index of Intra-Industry Trade

About GLIIT

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


Instructions for calculation


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.

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.
