This paper proposes a novel methodology to assess the similarity in trade and investment patterns across EU Member States (EUMS) with respect to the average EU performance. Contrary to alternative approaches, the similarity indicator presented here accounts for the sparse nature of trade and investment data. This study also investigates the linkages between similarity and measures of political effort exerted by EUMS to develop an idiosyncratic strategy for their trade and investment relationship with partner countries.

Abstract
This paper proposes a novel methodology to assess the similarity in trade and investment patterns across EU Member States (EUMS) with respect to the average EU performance. Contrary to alternative approaches, the similarity indicator presented here accounts for the sparse nature of trade and investment data. This study also investigates the linkages between similarity and measures of political effort exerted by EUMS to develop an idiosyncratic strategy for their trade and investment relationship with partner countries.
