An empirical investigation into exchange regime choice and exchange rate volatility

Berger, Helge; Sturm, Jan-Egbert; Haan, Jakob de - 2000

We test a simple model of exchange rate regime choice with data for non-OECD countries covering the period 1980-94. We find the variance of output at home and in potential target countries as well as the correlation between home and foreign real activity are powerful and robust predictors of...

Factor price equalization? : The cointegration approach revisited

Berger, Helge; Westermann, Frank - 2001

Factor price equality across countries is an important implication of the Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson model of international trade. Although an influential theoretical result, the model has received surprisingly little empirical support. Burgman and Geppert (1993) argue that this might be due to...

IMF Credit : how important are political factors? ; a robustness analysis

Sturm, Jan-Egbert; Berger, Helge; Haan, Jakob de - 2002

We test weather, in addition to economic conditions, IMF credit is influenced by political factors. On the basis of a panel model for 128 countries over the period 1972-1998, we find that dept service scaled to exports, international reserve holdings scaled to imports and economic growth, as...

Exploring the intensive and extensive margins of world trade : presented at Venice Summer Institute, Workshop on Dissecting Globalization, July 2004/ Gabriel J. Felbermayr; Wilhelm...

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 corner-solutions-versionʺ of the gravity model to …
