Development-Related Biases in Factor Productivities and the HOV Model of Trade
Maskus, Keith E.; Nishioka, Shuichiro - 2021
resuscitate HOV by introducing a simple Hicks-neutral (HN) factor-productivity adjustment, an approach that was heavily criticized …. In this paper, we re-examine the productivity question by estimating factor-specific productivities from the individual …-augmenting technological differences. In particular, the factor-productivity adjustment works well for developed members of the OECD. Further …

Estimating Border Effects : The Impact of Spatial Aggregation
Coughlin, Cletus C. - 2016
Trade data are typically reported at the level of regions or countries and are therefore aggregates across space. In this paper, we investigate the sensitivity of standard gravity estimation to spatial aggregation. We build a model in which initially symmetric micro regions are combined to form...
