Institutions, trade and development : a quantitative analysis

Beverelli, Cosimo; Keck, Alexander; Larch, Mario; … - 2018

We propose and apply methods to quantify the impact of national institutions on international trade and development. We … are able to identify the direct impact of country-specific institutions on international trade within the structural … gravity framework. Our approach naturally addresses the prominent issue of endogenous institutions. The empirical analysis …

Delayed participation of developing countries to climate agreements : should action in the EU and US be postponed?

Bosetti, Valentina (contributor); Carraro, Carlo (contributor) - 2008

This paper analyses the cost implications for climate policy in developed countries if developing countries are unwilling to adopt measures to reduce their own GHG emissions. First, we assume that a 450 CO2 (550 CO2e) ppmv stabilisation target is to be achieved and that Non Annex1 (NA1)...

Modelling economic impacts of alternative international climate policy architectures : a quantitative and comparative assessment of architectures for agreement

Bosetti, Valentina; Carraro, Carlo; Sgobbi, Alessandra; … - 2008

This paper provides a quantitative comparison of the main architectures for an agreement on climate policy. Possible successors to the Kyoto protocol are assessed according to four criteria: economic efficiency; environmental effectiveness; distributional implications; and their political...

Delayed action and uncertain targets : how much will climate policy cost?

Bosetti, Valentina (contributor); Carraro, Carlo (contributor) - 2008

Despite the growing concern about actual on-going climate change, there is little consensus about the scale and timing of actions needed to stabilise the concentrations of greenhouse gases. Many countries are unwilling to implement effective mitigation strategies, at least in the short-term, and...

Uncertainty in global sourcing : learning, sequential offshoring, and selection patterns

Larch, Mario; Navarro, Leandro - 2022

We analyse firms' sourcing decisions under institutional uncertainty in foreign countries. Firms can reduce their uncertainty by observing offshoring firms' behaviour. The model characterises a sequential offshoring equilibrium path, led by the most productive firms in the market. With multiple...

The trade effects of endogenous preferential trade agreements

Egger, Peter; Larch, Mario; Staub, Kevin E.; … - 2010

Recent work by Anderson and van Wincoop (2003) establishes an empirical modelling strategy which takes full account of the structural, non-(log-)linear impact of trade barriers on trade in new trade theory models. Structural new trade theory models have never been used to evaluate and quantify...

Growth and trade with frictions : a structural estimation framework

Anderson, James E.; Larch, Mario; Yotov, Yoto V. - 2015

We build and estimate a structural dynamic general equilibrium model of growth and trade. Trade affects growth through changes in consumer and producer prices that in turn stimulate or impede physical capital accumulation. At the same time, growth affects trade, directly through changes in...

Carbon tariffs : an analysis of the trade, welfare and emission effects

Larch, Mario; Wanner, Joschka - 2014

Carbon tariffs are one prominently discussed environmental policy. The proponents stress the carbon tariffs' ability to mitigate the potential negative effect of environmental-friendly production on competitiveness, to avoid carbon leakage and to reduce world carbon emissions. We analyze the...
