FDI, trade integration and the border effect : evidence from the European Union
Martínez-San Román, Valeriano; Bengoa, Marta; … - 2014
This paper intends to combine two fields in the economic literature by examining empirically the FDI pattern - horizontal versus vertica l- within the European Union and the relevance of trade integration as a potential determinant of investment flows over the period 1995-2009. We capture trade...

How firms export : processing vs. ordinary trade with financial frictions
Manova, Kalina; Yu, Zhihong - 2016 - This Draft: February 22, 2016
The fragmentation of production across borders allows firms to make and export final goods, or to perform only intermediate stages of production by processing imported inputs for re-exporting. We examine how financial frictions affect companies’ choice between processing and ordinary trade -...

Border effects without borders : what divides Japan's Internal Trade?
Wrona, Jens - 2018
This paper identifies a "border" effect in the absence of a border. The finding that trade between East- and West-Japan is 23.1 to 51.3 percent lower than trade within both country parts, is established despite the absence of an obvious east-west division due to historical borders, cultural...

Subnational income growth and international border effects
Adam, Hanna L.; Larch, Mario; Stadelmann, David - 2021
This paper analyses the effect of international borders and of trade agreements at international borders on subnational (i.e. regional) growth. We construct an extensive panel dataset covering 1,350 regions in 86 countries worldwide between 1950 and 2017. Our results show that international...

Trade liberalization, input intermediaries and firm productivity : evidence from China
Defever, Fabrice; Imbruno, Michele; Kneller, Richard - 2019
We investigate theoretically and empirically the role of wholesalers in mediating the productivity effects of trade liberalization. Intermediaries provide indirect access to foreign produced inputs. The productivity effects of input tariff cuts on firms that do not directly import therefore...

Estimating border effects : the impact of spatial aggregation
Coughlin, Cletus Charles; Novy, Dennis - 2016
this paper, we investigate the sensitivity of standard gravity estimation to spatial aggregation. We build a model in which … on border effects in domestic and international trade. Our theory shows that larger countries are systematically …. Even if no border frictions exist at the micro level, gravity estimation on aggregate data can still produce large border …

Estimating the effects of nondiscriminatory trade policies within structural gravity models
Heid, Benedikt; Larch, Mario; Yotov, Yoto V. - 2017
We propose a simple method to identify the effects of unilateral and non-discriminatory trade policies on bilateral trade within a theoretically-consistent empirical gravity model. Specifically, we argue that structural gravity estimations should be performed with data that include not only...

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...
