The buyer margins of firms' exports
Carballo, Jeronimo; Ottaviano, Gianmarco I. P.; Volpe … - 2016
We use detailed data on exporters from Costa Rica, Ecuador and Uruguay as well as on their buyers to show that: aggregate exports are disproportionally driven by few multi-buyers exporters; and each multi-buyer exporter's foreign sales of any product are in turn accounted for by few dominant...

Import processing and trade costs
Carballo, Jerónimo; Graziano, Alejandro; Schaur, Georg; … - 2023
We estimate import processing costs based on the time it takes to import. Our theory extends existing time …-cost measures to account for uncertainty in import processing. We use detailed, highly disaggregated data on import processing dates … and import values to provide evidence for our theory and estimate processing costs consistent with the theory. The …

The Impact of South-South Preferential Trade Agreements on Industrial Development: An Empirical Test
Volpe Martincus, Christian; Siedschlag, Iulia - In: Journal of Economic Integration 25 (2010), pp. 69-104
Preferential trade agreements could lead to a reallocation of resources across sectors and countries. Production patterns resulting from North-North regional integration initiatives have been documented in several studies. However, empirical evidence on South-South trade agreements is limited....

Economic integration and location of manufacturing activities: Evidence from MERCOSUR
Sanguinetti, Pablo; Traistaru, Iulia; Volpe Martincus, … - Zentrum für Europäische Integrationsforschung (ZEI), … - 2004
Economic integration leads to a reallocation of resources across sectors and space. Location patterns resulting from North-North and North-South regional trade initiatives have been documented in several studies. However, empirical evidence on South-South agreements is rather limited. In this...

Economic integration and manufacturing concentration patterns: Evidence from Mercosur
Traistaru, Iulia; Volpe Martincus, Christian - Zentrum für Europäische Integrationsforschung (ZEI), … - 2003
Trade policy changes are likely to result in a reallocation of resources across sectors and space. Over the past two decades, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay have implemented unilateral trade liberalization programs and formed a regional bloc, Mercosur. The effects of these reforms on...

Shaky roads and trembling exports: Assessing the trade effects of domestic infrastructure using a natural experiment
Volpe Martincus, Christian; Blyde, Juan - In: Journal of International Economics 90 (2013) 1, pp. 148-161
Our knowledge of the trade effects of domestic infrastructure is very limited. The reason is twofold. First, data needed to examine these effects are not readily available. Second, identifying such effects requires properly addressing potential endogeneity problems affecting the relationship...

How do transport costs affect firms’ exports? Evidence from a vanishing bridge
Volpe Martincus, Christian; Carballo, Jerónimo; … - In: Economics Letters 123 (2014) 2, pp. 149-153
In this paper we provide estimates of the effects of international transport costs on firms’ exports and disentangle the channels of these effects. In so doing, we use a unique dataset consisting of highly disaggregated transaction-level trade and transport cost data and, in order to account...

Posts as Trade Facilitators
Carballo, Jerónimo; Schaur, Georg; Volpe Martincus, … - 2016
In this paper, we examine an innovative postal export regime that involves both a streamlining of export procedures and provision of intermediation services to investigate how firms' react to changing trade costs and whether and how these firms learn. In so doing, we use a unique dataset that...
