Geography vs. institutions at the village level
Grimm, Michael; Klasen, Stephan - 2008
There is a well-known debate about the roles of geography versus institutions in explaining the long-term development … Robinson (2001) was to address this last point by using settler mortality as an instrument for geography-induced endogenous … mechanisms from geography via institutions to economic development outcomes. In particular, we examine the determinants of …

Resilience, adaptability and transformability: Danish butter factories in the face of coal shortages
Teives Henriques, Sofia; Sharp, Paul; Tsoukli, Xanthi; … - 2021
Economic historians have debated the importance of energy for economic development. Energy economists would argue that energy systems need to be adaptable in the face of shocks. In this light, we consider the case of Denmark, a country which was almost entirely dependent on imports of coal, and...

Exchange rate regimes and trade
Adam, Christopher; Cobham, David - Money Macro and Finance Research Group - 2007
A ‘new version’ gravity model, is used to estimate the effect of a full range of de facto exchange rate regimes, as classified by Reinhart and Rogoff (2004), on bilateral trade. The results indicate that, while participation in a common currency union is typically strongly...

Modelling multilateral trade resistance in a gravity model with exchange rate regimes
Cobham, David; Adam, Christopher - Centre for Dynamic Macroeconomic Analysis, University … - 2007
In estimating a gravity model it is essential to analyse not just bilateral trade resistance, the barriers to trade between a pair of countries, but also multilateral trade resistance (MTR), the barriers to trade that each country faces with all its trading partners. Without correctly modelling...
