Volume and comparative advantage in East-West trade
Trübswetter, Parvati; Schumacher, Dieter - 2000
The volume and commodity structure of EU trade with the transition countries in central and eastern Europe (CEECs) is estimated on the assumption that it will follow the pattern of trade among market economies. A gravity-type approach at the level of product groups is used, combining geography...

The elasticity of trade: Estimates and evidence
Simonovska, Ina; Waugh, Michael E. - 2011
Quantitative results from a large class of international trade models depend critically on the elasticity of trade with respect to trade frictions. We develop a simulated method of moments estimator to estimate this elasticity from disaggregate price and trade-flow data using the Ricardian...

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...

Determinants and Costs of Current Account Reversals under Heterogeneity and Serial Correlation
Aßmann, Christian - 2007
Recent empirical evidence suggests that reversing current account balances imply costly adjustment processes leading to reduced economic growth. Using large panel data sets to analyze determinants and costs of reversals asks for controls of heterogeneity among countries. This paper contributes a...
