The Language Effect in International Trade : A Meta-Analysis

Egger, Peter - 2011

) language on bilateral trade. This study provides a meta-analysis based on 701 language effects collected from 81 academic … articles. On average, a common (official or spoken) language increases trade flows directly by 44% …

Dialects, Cultural Identity, and Economic Exchange

Falck, Oliver; Heblich, Stephan; Lameli, Alfred; … - 2021

We investigate whether time-persistent cultural borders impede economic exchange across regions of the same country. To measure cultural differences we evaluate, for the first time in economics, linguistic micro-data about phonological and grammatical features of German dialects. These data are...

Panel Data Gravity Models of International Trade

Baltagi, Badi H. - 2014

One of the oldest and largest literatures in empirical economics is concerned with the estimation of demand and supply … structure of the data. This chapter is concerned with a host of issues that arise with the estimation of such models, respecting … their panel econometric generic structure. The issues covered range from the estimation of double-indexed versus higher …

Gravity, Distance, and International Trade

Baier, Scott L. - 2017

We review and interpret the main theoretical developments in the gravity literature from its very early, a-theoretical applications to the latest structural contributions. We also discuss challenges and implement methods to estimate empirical gravity equations. We finish with a presentation and...

Environmental Regulation and Competitiveness : Evidence from Romania

Arouri, Mohamed; Caporale, Guglielmo Maria; Rault, … - 2021

According to the pollution haven hypotheses differences in environmental regulation affect trade flows and plant location. Specifically, environmental stringency should decrease exports and increase imports of 'dirty' goods. This paper estimates a gravity model to establish whether the...

Is the International Border Effect Larger than the Domestic Border Effect? Evidence from U.S. Trade

Coughlin, Cletus Charles - 2013

Many studies have found that international borders represent large barriers to trade. But how do international borders compare to domestic border barriers? We investigate international and domestic border barriers in a unified framework. We consider a unique data set of exports from individual...

Trade, Wages, and Productivity

Behrens, Kristian - 2012

We develop a new general equilibrium monopolistic competition model with variable demand elasticity, heterogeneous firms, and multiple asymmetric regions. Wages, productivity, consumption diversity, and markups across firms and markets are all endogenously determined and respond to trade...

International Trade and Monopolistic Competition Without CES : Estimating Translog Gravity

Novy, Dennis - 2010

This paper derives a micro-founded gravity equation in general equilibrium based on a translog demand system that allows for endogenous markups and rich substitution patterns across goods. In contrast to standard CES-based gravity equations, trade is more sensitive to trade costs if the...

Distance, Globalization, and International Trade

Borchert, Ingo - 2017

For a long time globalization could be seen everywhere but in gravity estimates. We offer evidence how globalization affects manufacturing trade over the period 1986-2006 and show that, on average, the effect of distance has fallen whereas the effects of proximity and regional trade agreements...
