We examine how trade openness influences income inequality within countries. The sample includes 139 countries over the … period 1970-2014. We employ predicted openness as instrument to deal with the endogeneity of trade openness. The effect of … trade openness on income inequality differs across countries. Trade openness tends to disproportionately benefit the …

We present a novel two-stage gravity specification with period-varying bilateral trade cost terms. We test our …

The gravity literature has focused on distance, borders and contiguity to measure geography's impact on trade. We add … the impact of topography on trade across Europe by applying two-stage structural gravity estimations, identifying …
