Parallel imports and repair services
Ishikawa, Jota; Morita, Hodaka; Mukunoki, Hiroshi - 2018
This study explores the effect of parallel imports (PIs) when the producer may discriminate repair and maintenance services against PI units. This service discrimination weakens intrabrand competition and reduces the degree of price convergence between countries. If the producer makes costly...

Trade costs, trade balances and current accounts : an application of gravity to multilateral trade
Fazio, Giorgio (contributor); MacDonald, Ronald (contributor) - 2005
In this paper we test the well-known hypothesis of Obstfeld and Rogoff (2000) that trade costs are the key to explaining the so-called Feldstein-Horioka puzzle. Using a gravity framework in an intertemporal context, we provide strong support for the hypothesis and we reconcile our results with...

Békés, Gábor; Fontagné, Lionel Gérard; Muraközy, … - 2014
Firms adjust to differences in market size and demand uncertainty by changing the frequency and size of their export shipments. In our inventory model, transportation costs and optimal shipment frequency are determined on the basis of demand as well as inventory and per shipments costs. Using a...

Offshoring along the production chain
Harms, Philipp; Lorz, Oliver; Urban, Dieter M. - 2009
Recent contributions on offshoring often assume that firms can freely split their production process into separate steps which can be ranked according to the cost savings from producing abroad. We replace this assumption by the notion of a technologically determined sequence of production steps....

Even small trade costs restore efficiency in tax competition
Becker, Johannes; Runkel, Marco - 2010
We introduce transport cost of trade in products into the classical Zodrow and Mieszkowski (1986) model of capital tax competition. It turns out that even small levels of transport cost lead to a complete breakdown of the seminal result, the underprovision of public goods. Instead, there is a...
