On the heterogeneous trade and welfare effects of GATT/WTO membership

Felbermayr, Gabriel; Larch, Mario; Yalçin, Erdal; … - 2020

We build on the latest developments in the structural gravity literature to quantify the partial and general equilibrium effects of GATT/WTO membership on trade and welfare. Using an extensive database covering manufacturing trade for 186 countries over the period 1980-2016, we find that the...

Natural disasters and the effect of trade on income : a new panel IV approach

Felbermayr, Gabriel; Gröschl, Jasmin - 2011

Does trade openness cause higher GDP per capita? Since the seminal instrumental variables (IV) estimates of Frankel and Romer [F&R](1999) important doubts have surfaced. Is the correlation spurious and driven by omitted geographical and institutional variables? In this paper, we generalize F&R's...
