Global Trade and the Maritime Transport Revolution
Jacks, David S. - 2008
What is the role of transport improvements in globalization? We argue that the nineteenth century is the ideal testing ground for this question: freight rates fell on average by 50% while global trade increased 400% from 1870 to 1913. We estimate the first indices of bilateral freight rates for...

Trade Costs in the First Wave of Globalization
Jacks, David S. - 2006
What drives globalization today and in the past? We employ a new micro-founded measure of bilateral trade costs based on a standard model of trade in differentiated goods to address this question. These trade costs gauge the difference between observed bilateral trade and frictionless trade....

Trade Costs
Anderson, James E. - 2004
This paper surveys the measurement of trade costs --- what we know, and what we don't know but may usefully attempt to find out. Partial and incomplete data on direct measures of costs go together with inference on implicit costs from trade flows and prices. Total trade costs in rich countries...

The Tradability of Services : Geographic Concentration and Trade Costs
Gervais, Antoine - 2013
In this paper, we use a unique dataset on the distribution of output and demand across regions of the United States to estimate trade costs for 969 service and manufacturing industries. Our estimation method is a natural extension of the gravity model of trade and identifies trade costs in the...

The Average and Heterogeneous Effects of Transportation Investments : Evidence from Sub-Saharan Africa 1960-2010
Jedwab, Remi - 2020
Previous work on transportation investments has focused on average impacts in high- and middle-income countries. We estimate average and heterogeneous effects in a poor continent, Africa, using roads and cities data spanning 50 years in 39 countries. Using changes in market access due to distant...

Commercial Rivalry as Seller Incidence Shifting : Non-parametric Accounting of the China Shock
Anderson, James E. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024
Intense US-China commercial rivalry is quantified in this paper with novel non-parametric relative resistance sufficient statistics. The accounting method minimizes the demand specification error variance in revealed resistances. China's manufacturing seller incidence falls (seller price rises)...

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...
