This paper investigates patterns of manufacturing location in the context of increased economic integration in Central and East European countries. Using regional data for the period 1990-1999, we identify and compare patterns and determinants of manufacturing location in five European Union...

The methodology of modern macroeconomics and the descriptive approach to discounting

Vermeylen, Koen - 2013

Critics of modern macroeconomics often raise concerns about unwarranted welfare conclusions and data mining. This paper illustrates these concerns with a thought experiment, based on the debate in environmental economics about the appropriate discount rate in climate change analyses: I set up an...

Trade, trust and transaction cost

Butter, Frank A. G. den; Mosch, Robert - 2003

Transaction costs are a major reason why international trade flows are much smaller than traditional trade theory would suggest. Trust between trading partners lowers transaction costs and may therefore enhance trade. The empirical analysis of this paper shows that more trust leads to more trade...

Ethnic drift and white flight : a gravity model of neighborhood formation

Bakens, Jessie; Florax, Raymond J. G. M.; Mulder, Peter - 2016

Ethnicity has become an increasingly important factor in neighborhood formation in many developed economies. We specify a gravity model for neighborhoods to assess the role of ethnicity in intra-urban residential relocations. Migration patterns of different ethnic groups are hypothesized to...

Estimation of the gravity equation in the presence of zero flows

Linders, Gert-Jan M.; Groot, Henri L. F. de - 2006

The gravity model is the workhorse model to describe and explain variation in bilateral trade patterns. Consistent with both Heckscher-Ohlin models and models of imperfect competition and trade, this versatile model has proven to be very successful, explaining a large part of the variance in...

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...

Why do OECD-countries trade more?

Groot, Henri L. F. de; Linders, Gert-Jan M.; Rietveld, Piet - 2003

Ineffective institutions increase transaction costs and reduce trade. This paper shows that differences in the effectiveness of institutions offer an explanation for the tendency of OECD countries to trade disproportionately with each other, and with non-OECD countries.

Brexit and the impact of gradual economic integration on export

Teulings, Rutger - 2017

I develop an index for economic integration accounting for its gradual and bilateral nature: the Gradual And Bilateral Integration (GABI) index. The graduality captures differences in the depth and path of five stages in economic integration and is an improvement over the use of binary dummy...
