Redding, Stephen - 2019

One of the most successful empirical relationships in international trade is the gravity equation, which relates bilateral trade flows between an origin and destination to bilateral trade frictions, origin characteristics, and destination characteristics. A key decision for researchers in...

Gravity and Extended Gravity : Using Moment Inequalities to Estimate a Model of Export Entry

Morales, Eduardo - 2014

Exporting firms often enter foreign markets that are similar to previous export destinations. We develop a dynamic … model in which a firm's exports in a market may depend on how similar the market is to the firm's home country (gravity) and … to its previous export destinations (extended gravity). Given the large number of export paths from which forward …

Simple Tests for Selection : Learning More from Instrumental Variables

Black, Dan A.; Joo, Joonhwi; LaLonde, Robert John; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

We provide simple tests for selection on unobserved variables in the Vytlacil-Imbens-Angrist framework for Local Average Treatment Effects (LATEs). Our setup allows researchers not only to test for selection on either or both of the treated and untreated outcomes, but also to assess the...

Specialization and the Volume of Trade : Do the Data Obey the Laws?

Harrigan, James - 2001

The core subjects of trade theory are the pattern and volume of trade: which goods are traded by which countries, and how much of those goods are traded. The first part of the paper discusses evidence on comparative advantage, with an emphasis on carefully connecting theory models to data...

Estimating Gravity from the Short to the Long Run : A Simple Solution to the 'International Elasticity Puzzle'

Anderson, James E.; Yotov, Yoto - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

We propose a simple and flexible reduced-form econometric approach to estimate gravity models in the short and the long run. The theoretical lens for interpreting our methods amends the canonical Lucas-Prescott adjustment formulation to allow for time-interval-varying...

Borders, Trade and Welfare

Anderson, James E. - 2001

International economic integration yields large potential welfare effects, even in a static constant returns competitive world economy. Our method is novel. The effect of border barriers on trade flows is often inferred from gravity models. But their rather atheoretic structure precludes welfare...
