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...

Multimarket linkages, cartel discipline and trade costs
Agnosteva, Delina; Syropoulos, Constantinos; Yotov, Yoto V. - 2017
We build a model of tacit collusion between firms that operate in multiple markets to study the effects of trade costs. A key feature of the model is that cartel discipline is endogenous. Thus, markets that appear segmented are strategically linked via the incentive compatibility constraint....

Gravity, distance, and international trade
Baier, Scott L.; Kerr, Amanda; Yotov, Yoto V. - 2017
We review and interpret the main theoretical developments in the gravity literature from its very early, a-theoretical applications to the latest structural contributions. We also discuss challenges and implement methods to estimate empirical gravity equations. We finish with a presentation and...

Entrepôt : hubs, scale, and trade costs
Ganapati, Sharat; Wong, Woan Foong; Ziv, Oren - 2020
Entrepôts are hubs that facilitate trade between various origins and destinations. We study the role these hubs, and the networks they form, play in international trade. Using novel data, we trace the paths of containerized goods entering the United States. We show that the majority of trade is...

Is the international border effect larger than the domestic border effect? : evidence from U.S. trade
Coughlin, Cletus Charles; Novy, Dennis - 2009
Many studies have found that international borders represent large barriers to trade. But how do international borders compare to domestic border barriers? We investigate international and domestic border barriers in a unified framework. We consider a unique data set of exports from individual...

Barriers to global capital allocation
Pellegrino, Bruno; Spolaore, Enrico; Wacziarg, Romain - 2021
We quantify the impact of barriers to international investment, using a novel multi-country dynamic general equilibrium … asset positions. We estimate this gravity equation using recently developed foreign investment data that have been restated … to account for offshore investment and financing vehicles. We show that a parsimonious implementation of the model with …

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 …

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...

Gravity without apology : the science of elasticities, distance, and trade
Carrère, Céline; Mrázová, Monika; Neary, J. Peter - 2020
Gravity as both fact and theory is one of the great success stories of recent research on international trade, and has featured prominently in the policy debate over Brexit. We first review the facts, noting the overwhelming evidence that trade tends to fall with distance. We then introduce some...

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...
