On the heterogeneous trade and welfare effects of GATT/WTO membership
Felbermayr, Gabriel; Larch, Mario; Yalçin, Erdal; … - 2020
We build on the latest developments in the structural gravity literature to quantify the partial and general equilibrium effects of GATT/WTO membership on trade and welfare. Using an extensive database covering manufacturing trade for 186 countries over the period 1980-2016, we find that the...

The effect of migration on income convergence : meta-analytic evidence
Ozgen, Ceren; Poot, Jacques; Nijkamp, Peter - 2009
Using meta-analytical techniques, we focus on 11 studies that explicitly measure the effect of a net migration variable in neoclassical convergence models and derive 57 comparable effect sizes. The data suggest that an increase in the net migration rate of one percentage point increases on...

What do we really know about the transatlantic current account?
Braml, Martin T.; Felbermayr, Gabriel - 2019
Do the U.S. have a current account surplus or a deficit with the EU? Since 2009, official sources disagree: The U.S. Department of Commerce claims a consistent U.S. surplus while Eurostat reports the opposite. International transactions are notoriously difficult to measure accurately, but the...

On the effects of sanctions on trade and welfare : new evidence based on structural gravity and a new database
Felbermayr, Gabriel; Syropoulos, Constantinos; Yalçin, … - 2019
Using a new, global data base covering the years 1950 to 2015, we study the impact of sanctions on international trade and welfare. We make use of the rich dimensionality of our data and of the latest developments in the structural gravity literature. Starting with a broad evaluation by sanction...
