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...

Instrumental variables and causal mechanisms : unpacking the effect of trade on workers and voters
Dippel, Christian; Gold, Robert; Heblich, Stephan; … - 2017
This paper shows that import exposure affects voting behavior because it affects local labor markets. We develop a new framework for mediation analysis where one instrumental variable is sufficient to identify three causal effects. Using German data from 1987-2009, we find that import exposure...

Policies for electrification of the car fleet in the short and long run : subsidizing electric vehicles or subsidizing charging stations?
Hagem, Cathrine; Kverndokk, Snorre; Nævdal, Eric; … - 2022
Abatement can be performed by measures that have an impact on present emissions, but no lasting effect, and by long-lived infrastructure investments. We study the optimal combination of short and long-lived options for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, by specifying abatement cost...
