The Elasticity of Trade: Estimates and Evidence
Simonovska, Ina; Waugh, Michael E. - CESifo - 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...

The Composition of Trade Flows and the Aggregate Effects of Trade Barriers

Why are East Germans not More Mobile? Analyzing the Impact of Social Ties on Regional Migration
Bönisch, Peter; Schneider, Lutz - Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung Halle (IWH) - 2010
Individuals’ preferences in transition regions are still shaped by the former communist system. We test this ‘Communism legacy’ hypothesis by examining the impact of acculturation in a communist regime on social network participation and, as a consequence, on preferences for spatial...
