The (Structural) Gravity of Epidemics
Cuñat, Alejandro - 2020
Epidemiological models assume gravity-like interactions of individuals across space without microfoundations. We … of people across space obey a structural gravity equation. By means of an application to data from Great Britain we show … that our structural-gravity framework: provides a rationale for quarantines; offers a clear mapping from observed geography …

First, estimates from an appropriately specified and estimated gravity equation provide … global average during the 2002-2013 period. Using the functional form of a theory-consistent gravity equation, we perform …

The elasticity of trade: Estimates and evidence
Simonovska, Ina; Waugh, Michael E. - 2011
Quantitative results from a large class of international trade models depend critically on the elasticity of trade with respect to trade frictions. We develop a simulated method of moments estimator to estimate this elasticity from disaggregate price and trade-flow data using the Ricardian...

New Region, New Chances: Does Moving Regionally for University Shape Later Job Mobility?
Ehrenfried, Felix; Fackler, Thomas A.; Lindlacher, Valentin - 2022
The extensive literature on university graduates' regional mobility highlights the importance of early mobility but is primarily descriptive. We contribute the identification of the effect of mobility upon high-school graduation on subsequent mobility across labour market regions. The data...

Covid-19 Shocking Global Value Chains
Eppinger, Peter; Felbermayr, Gabriel J.; Krebs, Oliver; … - 2020
In early 2020, the disease Covid-19 caused a drastic lockdown of the Chinese economy. We use a quantitative trade model with input-output linkages to gauge the effects of this adverse supply shock in China on the global economy through international trade and global value chains (GVCs). We find...

Decoupling Global Value Chains
Eppinger, Peter; Felbermayr, Gabriel J.; Krebs, Oliver; … - 2021
Recent disruptions to global value chains (GVCs) have raised an important question: Can decoupling from GVCs increase a country’s welfare by reducing its exposure to foreign supply shocks? We use a quantitative trade model to simulate GVCs decoupling, defined as increased barriers to global...
