Novy, Dennis - CESifo - 2010

This paper derives a micro-founded gravity equation in general equilibrium based on a translog demand system that … allows for endogenous markups and substitution patterns across goods. In contrast to standard CES-based gravity equations …. I test the translog gravity equation and find strong empirical support in its favor. …

International Trade Integration: A Disaggregated Approach

Chen, Natalie; Novy, Dennis - CESifo - 2009

This paper investigates the sources and size of trade barriers at the industry level. We derive a micro-founded measure of industry-specific bilateral trade integration that has an in-built control for time-varying multilateral resistance. This trade integration measure is consistent with a...
