The structure of our new panel database of the carbon content of sectoral bilateral trade flows allows controlling … committed countries’ embodied carbon imports from non-committed countries by around 8% and the emission intensity of their …

Recent quantitative trade models treat import tariffs as pure cost shifters so that their effects are similar to … iceberg trade costs. We introduce revenue-generating import tariffs, which act as demand shifters, into the framework of … Arkolakis, Costinot and Rodriguez-Clare (2012), and generalize their gains from trade equation.

This paper assesses whether the sensitivity of bilateral trade volumes to various trade cost factors is constant or … varies across countries. It utilizes a random coeffcients model and analyses a cross-sectional sample of bilateral trade data … for 96 countries in 2005. We expect the elasticity of trade to vary particularly with bilateral distance and bilateral …
