Where is the value added? : trade liberalization and production networks

Aichele, Rahel; Heiland, Inga - 2016

theory-based measures for production networks from a multi-sector gravity model with inter-sectoral linkages to analyze the …, calibrate it to the year 2000 using the World Input-Output Database, and perform a counterfactual analysis of China’s WTO … and for about 7% of the decline in this figure on the world level as observed between 2000 and 2007. Furthermore, our …

The determinants of trade costs : a random coefficients approach

Egger, Peter; Průša, Jan - 2014

This paper assesses whether the sensitivity of bilateral trade volumes to various trade cost factors is constant or varies across countries. It utilizes a random coeffcients model and analyses a cross-sectional sample of bilateral trade data for 96 countries in 2005. We expect the elasticity of...

Skill policies for Scotland

Heckman, James J. (contributor); … - 2005

This paper argues that skill formation is a life-cycle process and develops the implications of this insight for Scottish social policy. Families are major producers of skills, and a successful policy needs to promote effective families and to supplement failing ones. Targeted early...

Kyoto and carbon leakage : an empirical analysis of the carbon content of bilateral trade

Aichele, Rahel; Felbermayr, Gabriel - 2011

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...

The language effect in international trade : a meta-analysis

Egger, Peter; Lassmann, Andrea - 2011

Gravity models of international trade have been frequently applied to estimate the impact of common (official or spoken) 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)...

Gravity-model estimation with time-interval data : revisiting the impact of free trade agreements

Egger, Peter; Larch, Mario; Yotov, Yoto - 2020

We challenge the common practice of estimating gravity equations with time-interval data in order to capture dynamic-adjustment effects to trade-policy changes. Instead, we point to a series of advantages of using consecutive-year data recognizing dynamic-adjustment effects. Our analysis reveals...
