Endogenous product versus process innovation and a firm's propensity to export

Becker, Sascha O.; Egger, Peter - 2007

This paper provides an empirical analysis of the effects of new product versus process innovations on export propensity …. Both modes of innovation are expected to raise a firm's propensity to export. According to new trade theory, we conjecture … innovations and their impact on export propensity at the firm level through a double treatment approach. …

Effects of the Endogenous Scope of Preferentialism on International Goods Trade

Egger, Peter; Wamser, Georg - 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...

Panel Data Gravity Models of International Trade

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

Intra- and inter-industry productivity spillovers in OECD manufacturing: a spatial econometric perspective

Badinger, Harald; Egger, Peter - 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,...

The trade effects of endogenous preferential trade agreements

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

World-Trade Growth Accounting

Egger, Peter; Nigai, Sergey K. - 2016

We undertake a trade-growth accounting exercise by decomposing data on changes in bilateral international trade flows into their direct (endowment accumulation, productivity growth, changes in trade costs, changing preferences) and indirect components (general equilibrium effects). Furthermore,...

Cultural Integration and Export Variety Overlap Across Countries

Egger, Peter; Lassmann, Andrea - 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...

Gravity-Model Estimation with Time-Interval Data : Revisiting the Impact of Free Trade Agreements

Egger, Peter - 2020

We challenge the common practice of estimating gravity equations with time-interval data in order to capture dynamic-adjustment effects to trade-policy changes. Instead, we point to a series of advantages of using consecutive-year data recognizing dynamic-adjustment effects. Our analysis reveals...
