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 prominent issue of endogenous institutions. The empirical analysis …

Does terror threaten human rights?: evidence from panel data
Dreher, Axel; Gassebner, Martin; Siemers, Lars-H. R. - 2007
The paper presents a political economy model linking terror and governments' respect for human rights. Using panel data for 111 countries over the period 1973-2002, we then empirically analyze whether and to what extent terror affects human rights - measured by three indices covering a wide...

Government decentralization as a disincentive for transnational terror? : an empirical analysis
Dreher, Axel; Fischer, Justina A. V. - 2009
Using panel data for a maximum of 109 countries over the years 1976-2000, we empirically analyze the impact of decentralization on the occurrence of transnational terror. Our results show that expenditure decentralization reduces the number of transnational terror events in a country, while...

Information transmission and ownership consolidation in aid programs
Dreher, Axel; Marchesi, Silvia - 2013

Banking permits: economic efficiency and distributional effects
Bosetti, Valentina; Carraro, Carlo; Massetti, Emanuele - 2008
Most analyses of the Kyoto flexibility mechanisms focus on the cost effectiveness of "where" flexibility (e.g. by showing that mitigation costs are lower in a global permit market than in regional markets or in permit markets confined to Annex 1 countries). Less attention has been devoted to...

Delayed participation of developing countries to climate agreements: should action in the EU and US be postponed?
Bosetti, Valentina; Carraro, Carlo; Tavoni, Massimo - 2008
This paper analyses the cost implications for climate policy in developed countries if developing countries are unwilling to adopt measures to reduce their own GHG emissions. First, we assume that a 450 CO2 (550 CO2e) ppmv stabilisation target is to be achieved and that Non Annex1 (NA1)...

The Effect of Migration on Terror - Made at Home or Imported from Abroad?
Dreher, Axel; Gassebner, Martin; Schaudt, Paul - 2017
We investigate whether the stock of foreigners residing in a country leads to a larger number of terrorist attacks on that country. Our instrument for the stock of foreigners relies on the interaction of two sets of variables. Variation across host-origin-dyads results from structural...
