An empirical investigation into exchange rate 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 65 non-OECD countries covering the period 1980-94.We find that the variance of output at home and in potential target c ountries as well as the correlation between home and foreign real activity are powerful and robust...

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...

Offshoring and volatility of demand
Benz, Sebastian; Kohler, Wilhelm; Yalçin, Erdal - 2016
In this paper we explore the role that demand uncertainty plays for the offshoring decision, and the role that offshoring plays for domestic volatility of employment. Offshoring is modeled as in Antràs & Helpman (2004), but we assume complete contracts. Firms are heterogeneous as in Melitz...

Exploring the intensive and extensive margins of world trade : presented at Venice Summer Institute, Workshop on Dissecting Globalization, July 2004
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 "cornersolutions- version"of the gravity model to …

Capital controls and exchange rate regimes : an empirical investigation
Berger, Helge; Sturm, Jan-Egbert; Haan, Jakob de - 2001
It is often argued that deregulation of international transactions and its effects on the globalization of financial markets is behind the decline in the attractiveness of fixed exchange rate regimes. We argue that, instead, much of the recently observed decrease in the level of capital controls...
