Energy Demand and Trade in General Equilibrium: An Eaton-Kortum-type Structural Model and Counterfactual Analysis

Egger, Peter; Nigai, Sergey - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2011

This paper sheds light on the role of the impact of taxes on energy production versus tariffs on imported goods for trade, energy demand, and welfare. For this, we develop a structural Eaton-Kortum type general equilibrium model of international trade which includes an energy sector. We estimate...

Structural Gravity with Dummies Only

Egger, Peter; Nigai, Sergey - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2015

The measurement of trade costs and their effects on outcome is at the heart of a large quantitative literature in international economics. The majority of the recent significant contributions on the matter assumes that trade consists of a product of exporter-time-specific factors,...

GLM estimation of trade gravity models with fixed effects

Egger, Peter; Staub, Kevin E - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2015

Many empirical gravity models are now based on generalized linear models (GLM), of which the Poisson pseudo-maximum likelihood estimator is a prominent example and the most-frequently used estimator. Previous literature on the performance of these estimators has primarily focussed on the role of...

The Trade Effects of Skilled versus Unskilled Migration

Egger, Peter; Nelson, Doug R; von Ehrlich, Maximilian - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2012

In this paper, we assess the role of skilled versus unskilled migration for bilateral trade using a flexible reduced-form model where the stocks of skilled and unskilled migrants at the country-pair level are determined as endogenous continuous treatments. The impact of different levels of...

The Causal Impact of Common Native Language on International Trade: Evidence from a Spatial Regression Discontinuity Design

Egger, Peter; Lassmann, Andrea - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2013

This paper studies the causal effect of sharing a common native language on international trade. Switzerland is a multilingual country that hosts four official language groups of which three are major (French, German, and Italian). These groups of native language speakers are geographically...
