Cross-border Mergers and Acquisitions: On Revealed Comparative Advantage And Merger Waves
Brakman, Steven; Garretsen, Harry; van Marrewijk, Charles - 2007
By combining two large data sets (on international trade flows and cross-border mergers and acquisitions – M&As), we test two implications of Neary’s (2003, 2007) general oligopolistic equilibrium (GOLE) model (incorporating strategic interaction between firms in a general equilibrium...

Trade Liberalization and Labor-Demand Elasticities : Empirical Evidence from Tunisia
Haouas, Ilham; Yagoubi, Mahmoud - 2004
This paper investigates the effects of trade liberalization on labor demand elasticities. Employment demand equation is … a weak support for the idea assuming that trade liberalization will lead to an increase in labor demand elasticities: in … (contract labor and permanent labor). This supports the conclusion that in liberalization periods labor markets have become more …

Competition in the service sector and the performances of manufacturing firms: Does liberalization matter?
Forlani, Emanuele - 2010
Services form an increasing proportion of the inputs used in manufacturing. We explore empirically whether competition in the service sector affects downstream manufacturing firms' efficiency, via the inputs used. Using French micro-data for services, we calculate proxies for competition in...

Cross-border mergers and acquisitions : on revealed comparative advantage and merger waves
Brakman, Steven; Garretsen, Harry; van Marrewijk, Charles - 2005
By combining two large data sets (on international trade flows and on mergers and acquisitions – M&As), we are able to test two implications of Neary's (2003, 2004a) recent theoretical work. Analyzing M&As in a General Oligopolistic Equilibrium (GOLE) model incorporating strategic interaction...

Gravity estimation of the intensive and extensive margins of trade: An alternative procedure with alternative data
Flam, Harry; Nordström, Håkan - 2011
Helpman, Melitz and Rubinstein (2008) derive gravity equations to estimate effects of trade barriers on the intensive and extensive margins of trade. They exploit the frequency of zeros in aggregate bilateral trade data to identify effects on the extensive margin and to obtain controls for firm...

Intermediation in Foreign Trade: When do Exporters Rely on Intermediaries?
Schröder, Philipp J. H.; Trabold, Harald; … - 2003
The paper explores theoretically and empirically why trade intermediaries (TIs) are frequently used as agents for exports to some countries but not to others. We adapt a standard intra-industry trade model with variable export costs (e.g. transport) and fixed export costs (e.g. market access) to...

Market Potential and Border Effects in Europe
Pfaffermayr, Michael; Huber, Peter; Wolfmayr, Yvonne - 2004
We estimate a linear approximation of the market potential function derived in geography and trade models. Using a spatial econometric estimation approach, border effects can be identified by a differential impact of neighboring regions' purchasing power, depending on whether two regions are...

Cross-border mergers and acquisitions : on revealed comparative advantage and merger waves
Brakman, Steven; Garretsen, Harry; Marrewijk, Charles van - 2008 - This version: January 2008
By combining two large data sets (on international trade flows and cross-border mergers and acquisitions - M&As), we test two implications of Neary’s (2003, 2007) general oligopolistic equilibrium (GOLE) model (incorporating strategic interaction between firms in a general equilibrium...
