Multimarket linkages, cartel discipline and trade costs

Agnosteva, Delina; Syropoulos, Constantinos; Yotov, Yoto V. - 2017

We build a model of tacit collusion between firms that operate in multiple markets to study the effects of trade costs. A key feature of the model is that cartel discipline is endogenous. Thus, markets that appear segmented are strategically linked via the incentive compatibility constraint....

Distance, globalization, and international trade

Borchert, Ingo; Yotov, Yoto V. - 2016

For a long time globalization could be seen everywhere but in gravity estimates. We offer evidence how globalization affects manufacturing trade over the period 1986-2006 and show that, on average, the effect of distance has fallen whereas the effects of proximity and regional trade agreements...

Institutions, trade and development : a quantitative analysis

Beverelli, Cosimo; Keck, Alexander; Larch, Mario; … - 2018

We propose and apply methods to quantify the impact of national institutions on international trade and development. We are able to identify the direct impact of country-specific institutions on international trade within the structural gravity framework. Our approach naturally addresses the...

Computers and student learning : bivariate and multivariate evidence on the availability and use of computers at home and at school

Fuchs, Thomas (contributor); Woessmann, Ludger (contributor) - 2004

We estimate the relationship between students ̕educational achievement and the availability and use of computers at home and at school in the international student-level PISA database. Bivariate analyses show a positive correlation between student achievement and the availability of computers...

The effect heterogeneity of central exams : evidence from TIMSS, TIMSS-Repeat and PISA

Woessmann, Ludger (contributor) - 2004

This paper uses extensive student-level micro databases of three international student achievement tests to estimate heterogeneity in the effect of external exit exams on student performance along three dimensions. First, quantile regressions show that the effect tends to increase with student...

Education policy and equality of opportunity

Schütz, Gabriela (contributor); … - 2005

We provide a measure of equality of educational opportunity in 54 countries, estimated as the effect of family background on student performance in two international TIMSS tests. We then show how organizational features of the education system affect equality of educational opportunity. Our...

Does educational tracking affect performance and inequality? : Differences-in-differences evidence across countries

Hanushek, Eric Alan (contributor); … - 2005

Even though some countries track students into differing-ability schools by age 10, others keep their entire secondary-school system comprehensive. To estimate the effects of such institutional differences in the face of country heterogeneity, we employ an international...
