The Bazaar Effect, Unbundling of Comparative Advantage, and Migration
Kohler, Wilhelm - 2007
Germany exhibits a strong reduction in domestic manufacturing production depth (bazaar effect). I argue that this … equilibrium where input sub-bundles may be traded (offshoring). The model allows for several goods and two fragments, produced …. I also explore trade policy implications and compare offshoring to migration …

Greasing the Wheels of International Commerce : How Services Facilitate Firm's International Sourcing
Debaere, Peter; Görg, Holger; Raff, Horst - 2021
We use unique plant-level data to study the link between the local availability of services and the decision of manufacturing firms to source materials from abroad. To guide our empirical analysis we develop a monopolistic-competition model of the materials sourcing decisions of heterogeneous...

Spatial Linkages, Global Shocks, and Local Labor Markets : Theory and Evidence
Adão, Rodrigo - 2019
Abstract How do shocks to economic fundamentals in the world economy affect local labor markets? In a framework with a flexible structure of spatial linkages, we characterize the model-consistent shock exposure of a local market as the exogenous shift in its production revenues and consumption...

Latent Exports : Almost Ideal Gravity and Zeros
Anderson, James E. - 2020
Almost Ideal gravity associates zero trade flows with variable and fixed trade cost variation in a flexible demand system. Latent trade shares between non-partners are inferred from the Tobit estimator applied to trade among 75 countries and 25 sectors in 2006. Latent Trade Bias (LTB) is the...
