Endogenous spatial production networks : quantitative implications for trade and productivity
Panigrahi, Piyush - 2021
Larger Indian firms selling inputs to other firms tend to have more customers, tend to be used more intensively by their customers, and tend to have larger customers. Motivated by these regularities, I propose a novel empirical model of trade featuring endogenous formation of input-output...

Gains from Trade and the Food Problem
Xu, Kai - 2012
This paper finds that the food problem can lead to large gains from lowering trade costs for poor countries. To quantify these potential gains from trade, I extend the Eaton-Kortum trade model to include a tradable agriculture sector, minimum consumption and home production technology of...

Solving the Puzzle : A New Measure of Trade Distance in the Gravity Equation
Mejia, Juan-Felipe - 2014
The gravity model is a workhorse tool that has been widely used in international trade. However, one empirical question that frequently arises is related to the conceptualization and measurement of distance. To overcome this limitation, our study proposes an index of distance based on...

Decoupling global value chains
Eppinger, Peter S.; Felbermayr, Gabriel; Krebs, Oliver; … - 2021
Recent disruptions to global value chains (GVCs) have raised an important question: Can decoupling from GVCs increase a country’s welfare by reducing its exposure to foreign supply shocks? We use a quantitative trade model to simulate GVCs decoupling, defined as increased barriers to global...

Estimating the elasticity of trade : the trade share approach
Lanati, Mauro - 2013 - March 2013, revised April 2013
Recent theoretical work on international trade emphasizes the importance of trade elasticity as the fundamental statistic needed to conduct welfare analysis. Eaton and Kortum (2002) proposed a two-step method to estimate this parameter, where exporter fixed effects are regressed on proxies for...
