This study consists of two different parts of international trade which are intra- industry trade (IIT) and foreign direct investment (FDI). The thesis has meaningful contribution to the literature both it collects the intra- industry trade values by various products and industries, strengthens determinants of IIT and FDI that are exits in the literature by new indexes and making a unique comparison between marginal intra- industry trade (MIIT) indexes to explain the relationship between MIIT and labor adjustment cost. In the first chapter, influence of currency crisis on foreign direct investment is observed with the situation of economic freedom level in the country. At the same time the chapter also presents determinants of FDI with the comparison of two methods of panel data in 37 countries in the period 1995 to 2017. The model provides special contribution to the issue of international trade by its indexes. In the second chapter, we took various eight products that are widely imported and exported in international trade to observed determinants of IIT in 40 different countries in the periods 2002 to 2018 in tobit model. The model improved by new indexes and new point of view to the related indexes that are also used in the literature. In the third chapter, we used three various indexes which were taken places in the literature to calculate marginal intra-industry trade (MIIT) on the issue of observation of labor adjustment cost. We investigated the relationship between marginal intra-industry trade and labor adjustment cost by compering different MIIT measurements.
