The importance of accounting for time trends when estimating the Euro effect on trade
Bun, Maurice J. G.; Klaassen, Franc - 2004
To study the effect of the euro on international goods trade one typically estimates a panel model for the level of trade. Trade levels increase over time, and we show that this is not fully explained by the included regressors. Because the euro is only present at the end of the sample, this may...

Moraga-González, José Luis; Viaene, Jean-Marie - 2004
