Crinò, Rosario; Epifani, Paolo - Dipartimento di Economia, Management e Metodi … - 2009

We study, both theoretically and empirically, how export intensity (the ratio of exports to sales) is related to firm … strongly negatively correlated with export intensity to low-income destinations and uncorrelated with export intensity to high … plausible assumptions, our model predicts that the elasticity of export intensity to productivity is increasing in per capita …

New Imported Inputs, New Domestic Products

Colantone, Italo; Crinò, Rosario - Dipartimento di Economia, Management e Metodi … - 2011

We study the effects of new imported inputs on the entry of new domestic products and their characteristics. To this purpose, we construct a novel, comprehensive and extremely detailed dataset, which contains product-level information on foreign trade and domestic production for 25 EU countries...

Imported Inputs and Skill Upgrading

Crinò, Rosario - Dipartimento di Economia, Management e Metodi … - 2011

This paper studies the effect of imported inputs on relative skilled labor demand. To this purpose, it uses firm-level data for 27 transition countries and propensity score matching techniques. The results show that importing inputs induces skill upgrading: according to a conservative estimate,...

Employment Effects of Service Offshoring: Evidence from Matched Firms

Crinò, Rosario - Dipartimento di Economia, Management e Metodi … - 2009

This paper studies the e¤ects of service o¤shoring on the level and skill composition of domestic employment, using a rich data set of Italian rms and propensity score matching techniques. The results show that service o¤shoring has no e¤ect on the level of employment but changes its...

Effects of the Endogenous Scope of Preferentialism on International Goods Trade

Egger, Peter; Wamser, Georg - CESifo - 2013

Previous empirical research has assumed that goods trade responds to goods trade preferentialism only, while other forms of preferentialism – such as services trade or investment preferentialism – are irrelevant for goods trade. This paper provides novel evidence for the gains from a broader...

Intra- and Inter-Industry Productivity Spillovers in OECD Manufacturing: A Spatial Econometric Perspective

Badinger, Harald; Egger, Peter - CESifo - 2008

We adopt a spatial econometric approach to estimate intra- and inter-industry productivity spillovers in total factor productivity transmitted through input-output relations in a sample of 13 OECD countries and 15 manufacturing industries. Both R&D spillovers as well as remainder,...

Panel Data Gravity Models of International Trade

Baltagi, Badi H.; Egger, Peter; Pfaffermayr, Michael - CESifo - 2014

One of the oldest and largest literatures in empirical economics is concerned with the estimation of demand and supply of goods, services, and factors across national or subnational borders (see Leamer and Levinsohn, 1995). The respective empirical models specified and estimated are often...

Cultural Integration and Export Variety Overlap Across Countries

Egger, Peter; Lassmann, Andrea - CESifo - 2014

This paper assesses the role of a larger degree of common language use between the populations of two countries on the so-called extensive product margin of trade. We focus on the overlap of products exported or imported between any pair of countries. The results suggest that the effect of...

Migration and Trade

Egger, Peter; Ehrlich, Maximilian Von; Nelson, Douglas R. - CESifo - 2011

Theoretical and empirical research in economics suggests that bilateral migration triggers bilateral trade through a number of channels. This paper assesses the functional form of the impact of migration on trade flows in a quasi-experimental setting. We provide evidence that the relationship is...

The Trade Effects of Endogenous Preferential Trade Agreements

Egger, Peter; Larch, Mario; Staub, Kevin E.; … - CESifo - 2010

Recent work by Anderson and van Wincoop (2003) establishes an empirical modelling strategy which takes full account of the structural, non-(log-)linear impact of trade barriers on trade in new trade theory models. Structural new trade theory models have never been used to evaluate and quantify...
