Kyoto and the carbon content of trade
Aichele, Rahel; Felbermayr, Gabriel - 2010
A unilateral tax on CO2 emissions may drive up indirect carbon imports from non-committed countries, leading to carbon leakage. Using a gravity model of carbon trade, we analyze the effect of the Kyoto Protocol on the carbon content of bilateral trade. We construct a novel data set of CO2...

The impact of disasters on international trade
Gassebner, Martin; Keck, Alexander; Teh, Robert - 2006
In this paper we examine the impact of major disasters on international trade flows using a gravity model. Our panel data consists of more than 170 countries for the years 1962-2004 yielding approximately 300,000 observations. We find that the driving forces determining the impact of such events...

Do autocratic states trade less?
Aidt, Toke S.; Gassebner, Martin - 2007
The paper analyzes whether the political regime of a country influences its involvement in international trade. Firstly, we develop a theoretical model that predicts that autocracies trade less than democracies. Secondly, we test the predictions of the model empirically using a panel of more...

The impact of immigration on international trade: A meta-analysis
Genc, Murat; Gheasi, Masood; Nijkamp, Peter; Poot, Jacques - 2011
Since the early 1990s many empirical studies have been conducted on the impact of international migration on international trade, predominantly from the host country perspective. Because most studies have adopted broadly the same specification, namely a log-linear gravity model of export and...

Borders and distance in knowledge spillovers: dying over time or dying with age? ; evidence from patent citations
Li, Yao - 2009
This paper uses a gravity framework to investigate the effects of distance as well as subnational and national borders … border effects stem from the metropolitan level rather than state. Second, border and distance effects decrease with the age … distance effects are interestingly increasing. Finally, we find that (assignee) self-citations and aggregation bias are two …

Institutions, infrastructure, and trade
Francois, Joseph F.; Manchin, Miriam - 2007
We work with a panel of bilateral trade flows from 1988 to 2002, exploring the influence of infrastructure, institutional quality, colonial and geographic context, and trade preferences on the pattern of bilateral trade. We are interested in threshold effects, and so emphasize those cases where...

Multilateralism versus Regionalism!?
Herz, Bernhard; Wagner, Marco - 2010
The well-known question whether regional trade agreements (RTAs) and the multilateral trading system (MTS) are strangers, friends, or foes (Bhagwati and Panagariya, 1996) has gained new importance with the widespread proliferation of RTAs in recent years. Based on an extensive data set which...

The effect of technological innovation on international trade: a nonlinear approach
Márquez-Ramos, Laura; Martínez-Zarzoso, Inmaculada - 2009
This paper focuses on the relationship between technological innovation and international trade. In particular, the effect of technological achievement on exports is studied. In order to measure technological innovation, the technological achievement index (TAI) is used, thus providing a summary...

The determinants of cross-border bank flows to emerging markets: New empirical evidence on the spread of financial crises
Herrmann, Sabine; Mihaljek, Dubravko - 2010
This paper studies the nature of spillover effects in bank lending flows from advanced to the emerging market economies and identifies specific channels through which such effects occur. Based on a gravity model we examine a panel data set on cross-border bank flows from 17 advanced to 28...
