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...

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...

Kyoto and Carbon Leakage : An Empirical Analysis of the Carbon Content of Bilateral Trade

Aichele, Rahel; Felbermayr, Gabriel J. - 2021

Has the Kyoto Protocol induced carbon leakage? We conduct the first empirical ex-post evaluation of the Protocol. We derive a theoretical gravity equation for the CO2 content of trade, which accounts for intermediate inputs, both domestic and imported. The structure of our new panel database of...
