Poelhekke, Steven; Ploeg, Frederick van der - 2012
We test for pollution haven effects in outward foreign direct investment (FDI) for different sectors using a comprehensive and exhaustive dataset for outward FDI from the Netherlands, one of the most environmentally stringent countries and a major source of global FDI. Our evidence suggests that...

Trade with endogenous transportation costs : the value of LNG exports
Oglend, Atle; Osmundsen, Petter; Selland Kleppe, Tore - 2015
This paper investigates the economic value of trade when prices of transportation services are endogenous to cross-market price spreads. This is relevant for liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports. LNG transportation capacity is limited in the short-run, and long lead-times are involved in...

World price shocks, income, and democratization
Zissimos, Benjamin - 2015
This paper shows how a world price shock can increase the likelihood that democratization must be used to resolve the … threat of revolution. Initially, a ruling elite may be able to use trade policy to maintain political stability. But a world … resolve. Because the world price shock may also reduce average incomes, the model provides a way to understand why the level …

A simple method to quantify the ex-ante effects of "deep" trade liberalization and "hard" trade protection
Larch, Mario; Tan, Shawn W.; Yotov, Yoto - 2021
We propose a simple and flexible econometric approach to quantify ex-ante the "deep" impact of trade liberalization and the "hard" effects of protection with the empirical structural gravity model. Specifically, we argue that the difference between the estimates of border indicator variables for...

Non-tariff barriers and trade liberalization
Anderson, Simon P.; Schmitt, Nicolas - 2000

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...

Politicized trade : what drives withdrawal of trade preferences?
Gassebner, Martin; Gnutzmann-Mkrtchyan, Arevik - 2017
While it is well understood that industrialized countries use aid to grant political favors, little research covers alternative channels such as trade policy towards developing countries. We analyze eligibility investigations and revoking of U.S. Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) benefits...
