Multimarket linkages, cartel discipline and trade costs

Agnosteva, Delina; Syropoulos, Constantinos; Yotov, Yoto V. - 2017

We build a model of tacit collusion between firms that operate in multiple markets to study the effects of trade costs. A key feature of the model is that cartel discipline is endogenous. Thus, markets that appear segmented are strategically linked via the incentive compatibility constraint....

Use and abuse of antidumping by global cartels

Gnutzmann-Mkrtchyan, Arevik; Hoffstadt, Martin - 2020

that matches cartel investigations with trade data at the product level. We then estimate the world import price and … higher world import prices and lower quantities during cartel periods, and to induce the establishment of a cartel. The …

Non-tariff barriers and trade liberalization

Anderson, Simon P.; Schmitt, Nicolas - 2000

This paper shows that governments have no incentive to introduce non-tariff barriers when they are free to set tariffs but they do when tariffs are determined cooperatively. We then show three results. First, with trade liberalization, there is a progression from u sing tariffs only to quotas,...

An empirical investigation into exchange rate regime choice and exchange rate volatility

Berger, Helge; Sturm, Jan-Egbert; Haan, Jakob de - 2000

We test a simple model of exchange rate regime choice with data for 65 non-OECD countries covering the period 1980-94.We find that the variance of output at home and in potential target c ountries as well as the correlation between home and foreign real activity are powerful and robust...

Institutions and development : the interaction between trade regime and political system

Falkinger, Josef; Grossmann, Volker - 2004

This paper argues that openness to goods trade in combination with an unequal distribution of political power has been a major determinant of the comparatively slow development of resource- or land-abundant regions like South America and the Caribbean in the nineteenth century. We develop a...

Short run gravity

Anderson, James E.; Yotov, Yoto V. - 2017

Short run gravity is a geometric weighted average of long run gravity and bilateral capacity. The model features (i) joint trade costs endogenous to bilateral volumes, (ii) long run gravity as a limiting case of effcient investment in bilateral capacities, (iii) a structural ratio of short run...

Heterogeneous economic integration agreement effects

Baier, Scott L.; Bergstrand, Jeffrey H.; Clance, Matthew W. - 2015

Gravity equations have been used for more than 50 years to estimate ex post the partial effects of trade costs on international trade flows, and the well-known - and traditionally presumed exogenous - "trade-cost elasticity" plays a central role in computing general equilibrium trade-flow and...

Estimating the effects of nondiscriminatory trade policies within structural gravity models

Heid, Benedikt; Larch, Mario; Yotov, Yoto V. - 2017

We propose a simple method to identify the effects of unilateral and non-discriminatory trade policies on bilateral trade within a theoretically-consistent empirical gravity model. Specifically, we argue that structural gravity estimations should be performed with data that include not only...
