GVCs and the endogenous geography of RTAs

Fontagné, Lionel; Santoni, Gianluca - 2018

Geography, economic size, or common history, help predicting signed regional trade agreements (RTAs). However, not all signed RTAs are "natural" according to economic determinants. En-dogeneity and general equilibrium effects of RTAS are the two mechanisms addressed in this paper. We estimate...

Haile, Daniel; Sadrieh, Abdolkarim; Verbon, Harrie - 2003

Trade, finance and endogenous firm heterogeneity

Bonfiglioli, Alessandra; Crinò, Rosario; Gancia, Gino … - 2016 - This draft: March 2016
