Panel data gravity models of international trade
Baltagi, Badi H.; Egger, Peter; Pfaffermayr, Michael - 2014
One of the oldest and largest literatures in empirical economics is concerned with the estimation of demand and supply of goods, services, and factors across national or subnational borders (see Leamer and Levinsohn, 1995). The respective empirical models specified and estimated are often...

Innovation, trade, and finance
Egger, Peter; Keuschnigg, Christian - 2011
This paper proposes a model where heterogeneous firms choose whether to undertake R&D or not. Innovative firms are more productive, have larger investment opportunities and lower own funds for necessary tangible continuation investments than non-innovating firms. As a result, they are...

Bilateral FDI Potentials for Austria
Egger, Peter - 2008
Trade economists have for long considered gravity models to estimate unexhausted potentials for bilateral trade. Similar to the discrepancy between "normal" and "actual" bilateral trade, one may ask the question about the difference between "normal" and actual bilateral multinational activity....

Cultural integration and export variety overlap across countries
Egger, Peter; Lassman, Andrea - 2014
This paper assesses the role of a larger degree of common language use between the populations of two countries on the so-called extensive product margin of trade. We focus on the overlap of products exported or imported between any pair of countries. The results suggest that the effect of...

The causal impact of common native language on international trade : evidence from a spatial regression discontinuity design
Egger, Peter; Lassmann, Andrea - 2015
This paper studies the effect of sharing a common native language on international trade. Switzerland hosts three major native language groups which adjoin countries sharing the same native majority languages. In regions close to the internal language border the alternate major language is...

A structural quantitative analysis of services trade de-liberalization
Blank, Sven; Egger, Peter; Merlo, Valeria; Wamser, Georg - 2018
This paper suggests a quantifiable multi-sector-multi-country economic model of goods and services production and consumption. It calibrates overall (variable and fixed) costs to market-specific sales by sector and decomposes these costs into observable and unobservable components. In an...

A note on the proper econometric specification of the gravity equation
Egger, Peter - 1999
Since the revival of the gravity literature in the early nineties most work has been done with cross-section data. Just a few more recent contributions made use of panel data. So far that research left open the question whether to treat time and country effects as random or fixed. This note...
