elasticity of trade with respect to trade frictions. We develop a new simulated method of moments estimator to estimate this … elasticity from disaggregate price and trade-flow data and we use it within Eaton and Kortum's (2002) Ricardian model. We apply … elasticity of roughly four, nearly fifty percent lower than Eaton and Kortum's (2002) approach. This difference doubles the …

rate formula as a function of the three corresponding behavioral elasticities. The first elasticity (labor supply) is the … elasticity (avoidance) through tax enforcement and tax neutrality across income forms. The optimal top tax rate increases with … the third elasticity (bargaining) as bargaining efforts are zero-sum in aggregate. We provide evidence using cross …
