Dettmer, Bianka - 2010
The firms' international fragmentation of production has recently widened its focus from outsourcing of intermediates to off-shoring of business services such as software program development and international call centre networks. Although a large number of business services are intangible and...

Institutional Determinants of Bilateral Trade: An Analysis according to Product Type
Linders, Gert-Jan M.; de Groot, Henri L.F.; Rietveld, Piet - 2005
Formal trade barriers and transport costs explain only part of the resistance to international trade. Search costs on the international market and insecurity of property rights and contract enforcement have recently been emphasized as important intangible barriers to trade. This paper proposes...

Trade costs, trade balances and current accounts : an application of gravity to multilateral trade
Fazio, Giorgio; MacDonald, Ronald; Melitz, Jacques - 2005
In this paper we test the well-known hypothesis of Obstfeld and Rogoff (2000) that trade costs are the key to explaining the so-called Feldstein-Horioka puzzle. Using a gravity framework in an intertemporal context, we provide strong support for the hypothesis and we reconcile our results with...

India in the Global and Regional Trade: Determinants of Aggregate and Bilateral Trade Flows and Firms' Decision to Export
Srinivasan, T. N.; Archana, Vani - 2009
This paper contributes to two strands of literature on empirical models of trade flows and trade policy. The first and the older strand is that of gravity models of bilateral trade flows going back to Hans Linneman (1966) and Tinbergen (1962) and its recent applications, particularly by Adams et...

Integration, disintegration and trade in Europe: Evolution of trade relations during the 1990s
Fidrmuc, Jarko; Fidrmuc, Jan - 2000
The gravity model of trade is used to assess the economic consequences of new borders, which arose in the wake of break-ups of multinational federations in Eastern Europe. The intensity of trade relations among the constituent parts of Czechoslovakia, Soviet Union and the Baltics was very high...

Disintegration and Trade
Fidrmuc, Jarko; Fidrmuc, Jan - 2001
The gravity model of trade is utilized to assess the impact of disintegration on trade. The analysis is based on three recent disintegration episodes involving the firmer Soviet Union, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia. The results point to a very strong home bias around the time of disintegration,...

Incomplete specialization and offshoring across Europe
Frensch, Richard; Hanousek, Jan; Kočenda, Evžen - 2012
Research for evidence on offshoring activities and its driving forces has been done by analyzing gross trade flows related to offshoring using gravity equations augmented by ad hoc measures of supply-side country differences. We develop a specification grounded in incomplete specialization that...
