Notes on BACI (analytical database of international trade). 1989-2002 version
Gaulier, Guillaume; Zignago, Soledad - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2004
BACI draws on United Nations COMTRADE data and covers more than 200 countries and 5,000 products, between 1994 and 2004. Imports and exports flows are reported annually by 130 countries to United Nations in values and quantities. When both exporting and importing countries report, we have two...

Defying Gravity: The Substitutability of Transportation in International Trade
Lux, Matthias - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2011
What role do individual modes of transportation play in international trade? To study this question, I develop a model of international trade that incorporates a role for transportation and thus allows me to study mode-specific trade flows. I use a novel data set to estimate the complete model...

Trade costs and facilitation in APEC and ASEAN: Delivering the goods?
Shepherd, Ben - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2010
This paper uses a new methodology to provide some first evidence on the overall level of trade costs in APEC and ASEAN. On average, APEC member economies have met the Shanghai target of a 5% reduction in trade costs over five years, but only just. Performance of individual member economies...

The Poisson quasi-maximum likelihood estimator: A solution to the “adding up” problem in gravity models
Arvis, Jean-Francois; Shepherd, Ben - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2011
This paper shows that the Poisson quasi-maximum likelihood estimator applied to the gravity model produces estimates in which, summing across all partners, actual and estimated total trade flows are identical. Other methods such as OLS do not have this desirable property. Indeed, Poisson is the...

The Heckscher-Ohlin Model and the Network Structure of International Trade
Baskaran, Thushyanthan; Blöchl, Florian; Brück, Tilmann; … - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2010
This paper estimates for 28 product groups a characteristic parameter that reflects the topological structure of its trading network. Using these estimates, it then describes how the structure of international trade has evolved during the 1980-2000 period. Thereafter, it demonstrates the...
