Trade booms, trade busts, and trade costs
Jacks, David S.; Meissner, Christopher M.; Novy, Dennis - 2009
, Europe, and Oceania for the period from 1870 to 2000 and demonstrate an overriding role for declining trade costs in the pre-World … War I trade boom. In contrast, for the post-World War II trade boom we identify changes in output as the dominant force …

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...

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...

Exploring the intensive and extensive margins of world trade : presented at Venice Summer Institute, Workshop on Dissecting Globalization, July 2004
Felbermayr, Gabriel; Kohler, Wilhelm - 2004
World trade evolves at two margins. Where a bilateral trading relationship already exists it may increase through time … have not traded with each other in the past (extensive margin). We provide an empirical dissection of post-World-War- II … growth in manufacturing world trade along these two margins. We propose a "cornersolutions- version"of the gravity model to …

The Covid-19 pandemic and European trade flows : evidence from a dynamic panel model
Caporale, Guglielmo Maria; Sova, Anamaria Diana; Sova, … - 2022
This paper investigates the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on trade flows in the case of the European countries. First, an ARDL dynamic panel model is estimated using the PMG method to analyse monthly data covering the most recent period (2019M1-2021M12); then, the GMM and PCSE approaches are...

Migration and trade
Egger, Peter; Ehrlich, Maximilian von; Nelson, Douglas R. - 2011
Theoretical and empirical research in economics suggests that bilateral migration triggers bilateral trade through a number of channels. This paper assesses the functional form of the impact of migration on trade flows in a quasi-experimental setting. We provide evidence that the relationship is...

Distance, globalization, and international trade
Borchert, Ingo; Yotov, Yoto V. - 2016
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...

The trade impact of the Covid-19 pandemic
Liu, Xuepeng; Ornelas, Emanuel; Shi, Huimin - 2021
Using a gravity-like approach, we study how Covid-19 deaths and lockdown policies affected countries' imports from China during 2020. We find that a country's own Covid-19 deaths and lockdowns significantly reduced its imports from China, suggesting that the negative demand effects prevailed...

The evolution of offshore renminbi trading : 2016 to 2019
Cheung, Yin-Wong; Grimm, Louisa; Westermann, Frank - 2020
We study the evolution of offshore renminbi trading between 2016 and 2019. The diffusion behaviour of offshore renminbi trading during this period is different from the one between 2013 and 2016. The geographical diffusion process displayed in the 2016-2019 period, in addition to the previously...

Economic costs of friend-shoring
Javorcik, Beata K. Smarzynska; Kitzmüller, Lucas; … - 2023
Geo-political tensions and disruptions to global value chains have led policy makers to re-evaluate their approach to globalisation. Many countries are considering friend-shoring - trading primarily with countries sharing similar values - as a way of minimising exposure to weaponisation of trade...
