Unpacking Sources of Comparative Advantage : A Quantitative Approach

Chor, Davin - 2009

This paper develops an approach for quantifying the importance of different sources of comparative advantage for country welfare, based on the Eaton and Kortum (2002) model extended to predict industry trade flows. In this framework, comparative advantage is determined by the interaction of...

EU enlargement and the gains from trade

Calin-Vlad, Demian - 2013

In this paper I quantify the welfare gains of the 2004 EU enlargement as a result of the abolition of border controls, both for incumbents and for new members. I build a multi-sector Ricardian model, allowing for linkages across sectors, similar to the one in Caliendro and Parro (2011). As with...

The comparative advantage of Dutch cities

Brakman, Steven; Hendrich, Tijl; Marrewijk, Charles van; … - 2020

The trade literature often treats countries as dimensionless points, which is a strong assumption. Agglomeration or lumpiness of production factors within countries can affect the national pattern of trade. In this paper we analyze comparative advantage patterns for 22 cities and 4 regions for...

Factor-biased technical change and specialization patterns

Brandt, Jana; Meckl, Jürgen; Savin, Ivan - 2011

We analyze the medium- and long-run effects of international integration of capital markets on specialization patterns of countries. For that purpose, we incorporate induced technical change into a Heckscher-Ohlin model with a continuum of final goods. This provides a comprehensive theory that...

Regional Enterprise in Preference Areas

Arndt, Sven W. - 2008

This paper focuses on the possible effects of eastern enlargement not only on trade between the entrants and current members, but on the location of production in the enlarged union. The key notion is that of cross-border production sharing, also known as cross-border fragmentation of...

Specialization Patterns in International Trade

Steingress, Walter - 2015

The pattern of specialization is key to understanding how trade affects the production structure of an economy. To measure specialization, I compute concentration indexes for the value of exports and imports and decompose the overall concentration into the extensive product margin (number of...

Plants and Productivity in International Trade

Bernard, Andrew B.; Eaton, Jonathan; Jensen, J. Bradford; … - 2012

We reconcile international trade theory with findings of enormous plant-level heterogeneity in exporting and productivity. Our model extends basic Ricardian theory to accommodate many countries, geographic barriers, and imperfect competition. Fitting the model to bilateral trade among the United...

Friends without benefits? : new EMU members and the "euro effect" on trade

Mika, Alina; Zymek, Robert - 2017

countries which adopted the common currency since 2002. Based on "state of the art" gravity estimations for the period 1992 …-2013, we reach three main conclusions. First, estimates from an appropriately specified and estimated gravity equation provide … global average during the 2002-2013 period. Using the functional form of a theory-consistent gravity equation, we perform …
