For example, importing cars and exporting cars.

The value of intra industry trade is zero, when country only import or exports the good.

In case of automative industry country only export and in case of fruits industry country only imports.

IIT = 1 - [| X - M | / (X + M)]

where, X is value of export

M is value of import.
