Optimal taxation, child care and models of the household
Apps, Patricia; Rees, Ray - 2014
This paper presents the properties of optimal piecewise linear tax systems for two-earner households, based on joint and individual incomes respectively. A key contribution is the analysis of the interaction between second earner wage differences, variation in the price of child care and...

Unemployment in an interdependent world
Felbermayr, Gabriel; Larch, Mario; Lechthaler, Wolfgang - 2009
We introduce search and matching unemployment into a model of trade with differentiated goods and heterogeneous firms. Countries may differ with respect to size, geographical location, and labor market institutions. Contrary to the literature, our single-sector perspective pays special attention...

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...

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...

Contesting an international trade agreement
Cole, Matthew T.; Lake, James; Zissimos, Benjamin - 2018
We develop a new theoretical framework of trade agreement (TA) formation, called a "parallel contest", that emphasizes the political fight over TA ratification within countries. TA ratification is inherently uncertain in each country, where anti- and pro-trade interest groups contest each other...

Staggered difference-in-differences in gravity settings : revisiting the effects of trade agreements
Nagengast, Arne J.; Yotov, Yoto - 2023
We nest an extended two-way fixed effect (ETWFE) estimator for staggered difference-in-differences within the structural gravity model. To test the ETWFE, we estimate the effects of regional trade agreements (RTAs). The results suggest that RTA estimates in the current gravity literature may be...
