FDI, trade integration and the border effect : evidence from the European Union
Martínez-San Román, Valeriano; Bengoa, Marta; … - 2014
This paper intends to combine two fields in the economic literature by examining empirically the FDI pattern - horizontal versus vertica l- within the European Union and the relevance of trade integration as a potential determinant of investment flows over the period 1995-2009. We capture trade...

Global trade in final goods and intermediate inputs : impact of FTAs and reduced "border effects"
Franco-Bedoya, Sebastian; Frohm, Erik - 2020
International trade in manufacturing goods has risen strongly over the past decades, contributing to the expansion of global value chains (GVCs). This paper studies how two factors contributed to this rise since 1970: (i) declining "border effects" that are arguably related to the ICT revolution...

Estimating the gravity equation with the actual number of exporting firms
Minondo, Asier; Requena Silvente, Francisco - In: Estudios de economía 40 (2013) 1, pp. 5-19
To estimate correctly the effect of variable trade costs on firms’ exports, the gravity equation should control for the number of firms that participate in foreign markets. Due to the absence of these data, previous studies control for this omitted variable using econometric strategies that...

Border effects without borders : what divides Japan's internal trade?
Wrona, Jens - 2015
Over the last 20 years the trade literature repeatedly documented the trade-reducing effects of inter- and intra-national borders. Thereby, the puzzling size and persistence of observed border effects from the beginning raised doubts on the role of underlying political borders. However, when...
