This article describes the development of international trade blocs world wide from the 1950s till 2010. We updated the … data on international trade flows and introduced a new trade bloc variable based on the intramax hierarchical clustering … and Japan.

Productivity spillovers are often cited as a reason for geographic specialization in production. A large literature in medicine documents specialization across areas in the use of surgical treatments, which is unrelated to patient outcomes. We show that a simple Roy model of patient treatment...
