We explore how multilateral environmental regulations may adversely affect trade flows between countries with different incomes. Using the gravity equation, we examine the effect on bilateral trade flows of increases in environmental regulation stringency ratings, taken from survey data covering...

This paper investigates whether culture and history impacts the spatial allocation of foreign direct investment (FDI). The importance of culture is well documented in both the international business and economics literature; however, the causal impact of culture on the location of FDI has been...

This study examines the location of manufacturing foreign direct investment (FDI) in the United States, focusing on taxes and incentives relative to agglomeration as determinants. Using a panel Poisson regression with random effects, we model the probability of site selection in U.S. states and...

Using Monte Carlo simulations, this paper evaluates the bias properties of common estimators used in growth regressions derived from the Solow model. We explicitly allow for measurement error in the right-hand side variables, as well as country-specific effects that are correlated with the...
