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 …

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...
