This paper develops a model to analyse the implications of firing costs on incentives for R&D and international specialization. The key idea is that, to avoid paying firing costs, the country with a rigid labour market will tend to produce relatively secure goods, at late stages in their product...

Tariffs, Trade and Productivity: A Quantitative Evaluation of Heterogeneous Firm Models

Breinlich, Holger; Cuñat, Alejandro - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2013

We examine the quantitative predictions of heterogeneous firm models à la Melitz (2003) in the context of the Canada - US Free Trade Agreement (CUSFTA) of 1989. We compute predicted increases in trade flows and measured productivity across a range of standard models and compare them to the...

Distribution of Export Price Risk in a Developing Country

Bourguignon, François; Lambert, Sylvie; Suwa … - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1996

We address the issue of social distribution of an aggregate risk (on agricultural export price), from a macroeconomic perspective. Individual incomes in representative social groups are computed as a function of export prices, which are assumed to be stochastic, using an applied general...

GM Cotton Adoption, Recent and Prospective: A Global CGE Analysis of Economic Impacts

Anderson, Kym; Jackson, Lee Ann; Valenzuela, Ernesto - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2006

This paper provides estimates of the economic impact of initial adoption of genetically modified (GM) cotton and of its potential impacts beyond the few countries where it is currently common. Use is made of the latest version of the GTAP database and model. Our results suggest that by following...

Welfare Effects of `1992': A General Equilibrium Assessment for EC and EFTA Countries

Haaland, Jan I. - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1993

In this paper production, trade and welfare effects of European integration are discussed, with particular emphasis on the effects for the EC and EFTA. Insight from previous partial and general equilibrium analyses of the internal market are reviewed, and new model simulations are presented. In...

Changes in Infrastructure and Tariff Barriers: Local Vs. Global Impacts

Behrens, Kristian; Lamorgese, Andrea; Ottaviano, Gianmarco - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2005

We develop a multi-country Dixit-Stiglitz model to investigate the impacts of: (i) changes in the international distribution of consumers' expenditure; (ii) decreasing tariffs; and (iii) improvements in transportation infrastructure. We show that, in general, decreasing tariff barriers do not...

Reducing Coal Subsidies and Trade Barriers: Their Contribution to Greenhouse Gas Abatement

Anderson, Kym; McKibbin, Warwick - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1997

International negotiations for an agreement to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases are unlikely to produce concrete and comprehensive policies for effective emission reductions in the near term, not least because the policy measures being considered are economically very costly to major...

The Uruguay Round and Trade in Manufactures and Services. General Equilibrium Simulations of Production, Trade and Welfare Effects of Liberalization

Haaland, Jan I. - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1994

Using a numerical general equilibrium model we examine the possible production, trade and welfare effects of successful implementation of the Uruguay Round results. The model includes trade in manufactures and (some) services among industrial regions and countries; there is imperfect competition...
