Globalization in the Time of COVID-19
Sforza, Alessandro - 2020
networks. In this paper we incorporate production barriers induced by COVID-19 shock into a Ricardian model with sectoral … shock has a considerable impact on most economies in the world, especially when a share of the labor force is quarantined …. Moreover, we show that global production linkages have a clear role in magnifying the effect of the production shock. Finally …

Trade, Leakage, and the Design of a Carbon Tax
Weisbach, David A.; Kortum, Samuel S.; Wang, Michael; … - 2022
Climate policies vary widely across countries, with some countries imposing stringent emissions policies and others doing very little. When climate policies vary across countries, energy-intensive industries have an incentive to relocate to places with few or no emissions restrictions, an effect...

Optimal Unilateral Carbon Policy
Kortum, Samuel S.; Weisbach, David A. - 2021
We derive the optimal unilateral policy in a general equilibrium model of trade and climate change where one region of the world imposes a climate policy and the rest of the world does not. A climate policy in one region shifts activities—extraction, production, and consumption—in the other...

Quantifying the Demand, Supply, and Welfare Effects of Natural Disasters Using Monthly Trade Data
Felbermayr, Gabriel J.; Gröschl, Jasmin Katrin; Heid, … - 2020
We estimate the short-run trade effects of natural disasters using monthly trade data and data on the physical intensity of earthquakes and storms. We find large negative effects for heavily indebted poor, least developed or landlocked developing countries but only small effects for other...

Quantifying the Demand, Supply, and Welfare Effects of Natural Disasters Using Monthly Trade Data
Felbermayr, Gabriel J.; Gröschl, Jasmin; Heid, Benedikt - 2021
We develop a simple methodology to estimate monthly aggregate supply and demand conditions from bilateral international trade data for about 180 countries and 40 years. We apply our method to measure the short-run effects of natural disasters. In line with theoretical considerations, we find...

The Propagation of Monetary Policy Shocks in a Heterogeneous Production Economy
Pasten, Ernesto - 2019
We study the transmission of monetary policy shocks in a model in which realistic heterogeneity in price rigidity interacts with heterogeneity in sectoral size and input-output linkages, and derive conditions under which these heterogeneities generate large real effects. Empirically,...

Financial Constraints and Propagation of Shocks in Production Networks
Pakel, Banu Demir; Javorcik, Beata Smarzynska; … - 2021

The results indicate that this relatively minor, non …-localized shock had a non-trivial economic impact on exposed firms and propagated downstream through affected suppliers. Additional … empirical tests, motivated by a simple theory, demonstrate that low-liquidity firms amplified its transmission …

Gravity Without Apology : The Science of Elasticities, Distance, and Trade
Carrère, Céline - 2020
Gravity as both fact and theory is one of the great success stories of recent research on international trade, and has … general-equilibrium system. Next, we point out some anomalies with the theory: mounting evidence against constant trade …

Firms and Economic Performance : A View from Trade
Bonfiglioli, Alessandra - 2019
We use transaction-level US import data to compare firms from virtually all countries in the world competing in a single destination market. Guided by a simple theoretical framework, we decompose countries. market shares into the contribution of the number of firm-products, their average...

Unconventional Monetary Policy Shocks in the Euro Area and the Sovereign-Bank Nexus
Hristov, Nikolay - 2020
We explore the effects of the ECB's unconventional monetary policy on the banks' sovereign debt portfolios. In particular, using panel vector autoregressive (VAR) models we analyze whether banks increased their domestic government bond holdings in response to non-standard monetary policy shocks,...
