Migration and Cultural Change
Rapoport, Hillel - 2020
the host country's culture. While migrants do act as vectors of cultural diffusion and bring about cultural convergence … which it delivers distinctive testable predictions on the sign and direction of convergence. We then use the World Value …

Gravity-Model Estimation with Time-Interval Data : Revisiting the Impact of Free Trade Agreements
Egger, Peter - 2020
We challenge the common practice of estimating gravity equations with time-interval data in order to capture dynamic-adjustment effects to trade-policy changes. Instead, we point to a series of advantages of using consecutive-year data recognizing dynamic-adjustment effects. Our analysis reveals...

Trade Costs, Market Access and Economic Geography : Why the Empirical Specification of Trade Costs Matters
Bosker, Erik Maarten; Garretsen, Harry - 2021
Trade costs are crucial in new economic geography (NEG) models. The unavailability of actual trade costs data requires the approximation of trade costs. Most NEG studies do not deal with the ramifications of the particular trade costs specification used. This paper shows that the specification...

On the Effects of Sanctions on Trade and Welfare : New Evidence Based on Structural Gravity and a New Database
Felbermayr, Gabriel J. - 2019
Using a new, global data base covering the years 1950 to 2015, we study the impact of sanctions on international trade and welfare. We make use of the rich dimensionality of our data and of the latest developments in the structural gravity literature. Starting with a broad evaluation by sanction...

Estimating Gravity from the Short to the Long Run : A Simple Solution to the ‘International Elasticity Puzzle’
Anderson, James E.; Yotov, Yoto V. - 2023
We propose a simple and flexible reduced-form econometric approach to estimate gravity models in the short and the long run. The theoretical lens for interpreting our methods amends the canonical Lucas-Prescott adjustment formulation to allow for time-interval-varying...

International Trade and Social Connectedness
Bailey, Michael - 2020
We use anonymized data from Facebook to construct a new measure of the pairwise social connectedness between 180 countries and 332 European regions. We find that two countries trade more with each other when they are more socially connected and when they share social connections with a similar...

Arming in the Global Economy : The Importance of Trade with Enemies and Friends
Garfinkel, Michelle R. - 2019
We analyze how trade openness matters for interstate conflict over productive resources. Our analysis features a terms-of-trade channel that makes security policies trade-regime dependent. Specifically, trade between two adversaries reduces each one’s incentive to arm given the opponent’s...

Quantifying the Impact of Economic Sanctions on International Trade in the Energy and Mining Sectors
Larch, Mario; Shikher, Serge; Syropoulos, Constantinos; … - 2021
Capitalizing on the latest developments in the gravity literature, we utilize two new datasets on sanctions and trade to study the impact of economic sanctions on international trade in the mining sector, which includes oil and natural gas. We demonstrate that the gravity equation is well suited...
