Gravity Redux: Estimation of gravity-equation coefficients, elasticities of substitution, and general equilibrium comparative statics under asymmetric bilateral trade costs

Bergstrand, Jeffrey H.; Egger, Peter; Larch, Mario - In: Journal of International Economics 89 (2013) 1, pp. 110-121

A large class of models with CES utility and iceberg trade costs are now known to generate isomorphic “gravity equations.” Economic interpretations of these gravity equations vary in terms of two basic elements: the exporter's “mass” variable and the elasticity of trade with respect to...

Optimal tariffs, retaliation, and the welfare loss from tariff wars in the Melitz model

Felbermayr, Gabriel; Jung, Benjamin; Larch, Mario - In: Journal of International Economics 89 (2013) 1, pp. 13-25

This paper characterizes analytically the optimal tariff of a large one-sector economy with monopolistic competition and firm heterogeneity in general equilibrium, thereby extending the small-country results of Demidova and Rodríguez-Clare (JIE, 2009) and the homogeneous firms framework of Gros...

Spatial exporters

Defever, Fabrice; Heid, Benedikt; Larch, Mario - In: Journal of International Economics 95 (2015) 1, pp. 145-156

In this paper, we provide causal evidence that firms serve new markets which are geographically close to their prior export destinations with a higher probability than standard gravity models predict. We quantify the impact of this spatial pattern using a data set of Chinese firms which had...

The structure of collective bargaining and worker representation : change and persistence in the German model

Addison, John T.; Teixeira, Paulino; Bryson, Alex; … - 2011

This paper depicts and examines the decline in collective bargaining coverage in Germany. Using repeat cross-section and longitudinal data from the IAB Establishment Panel, we show the overwhelming importance of behavioral as opposed to compositional change and, for the first time, document...
