Transportation costs and the great divergence
Azarnert, Leonid V. - 2014
This work shows the asymmetric effect of the reduction in transportation costs across different sectors in the process of the Great Divergence. Specifically, the analysis indicates that reductions in transportation costs of industrial goods enhance convergence of the growth rates of trading...

Market structure, technology spillovers, and persistence in productivity differentials
Cheung, Yin-Wong; Pascual, Antonio I. Garcia - 2001
determinants of cross-country differences in the persistence of productivity differentials Specifically, we focus on the effects of … convergence rates. Consistent with theories, the persistence of productivity differentials is found to be positively correlated …, productivity convergence appears to be enhanced by human capital but deterred by government spending. …

Growth and trade with frictions : a structural estimation framework
Anderson, James E.; Larch, Mario; Yotov, Yoto V. - 2015
We build and estimate a structural dynamic general equilibrium model of growth and trade. Trade affects growth through changes in consumer and producer prices that in turn stimulate or impede physical capital accumulation. At the same time, growth affects trade, directly through changes in...

Natural disasters and the effect of trade on income : a new panel IV approach
Felbermayr, Gabriel; Gröschl, Jasmin - 2011
Does trade openness cause higher GDP per capita? Since the seminal instrumental variables (IV) estimates of Frankel and Romer [F&R](1999) important doubts have surfaced. Is the correlation spurious and driven by omitted geographical and institutional variables? In this paper, we generalize F&R's...

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...

Landlockedness and economic development : analyzing subnational panel data and exploring mechanisms
Jetter, Michael; Mösle, Saskia; Stadelmann, David - 2017
This paper revisits the hypothesis that landlocked regions are systematically poorer than regions with ocean access, using panel data for 1,527 subnational regions in 83 nations from 1950-2014. This data structure allows us to exploit within-country-time variation only (e.g., regional variation...

Deep trade agreements and FDI in partial and general equilibrium : a structural estimation framework
Larch, Mario; Yotov, Yoto - 2022
We quantify the relationships between deep trade liberalization and foreign direct investment (FDI). To this end, we focus on the effects of Deep Trade Agreements (DTAs), and we rely on a structural framework that simultaneously enables us to (i) estimate the direct impact of DTAs on FDI, (ii)...
