Gravity equations have been used for more than 50 years to estimate ex post the partial effects of trade costs on international trade flows, and the well-known - and traditionally presumed exogenous - "trade-cost elasticity" plays a central role in computing general equilibrium trade-flow and...

We build a model of tacit collusion between firms that operate in multiple markets to study the effects of trade costs. A key feature of the model is that cartel discipline is endogenous. Thus, markets that appear segmented are strategically linked via the incentive compatibility constraint....

We hold that to maintain logical consistency in a world of symmetric trading blocs, an individual bloc should act on … world as a whole as assumed by Krugman, and show that Krugman's seemingly innocuous choice of the world price of a given … schedule is monotonically decreasing in our relative bloc size, and that the world welfare increases with our new relative bloc …

We build on the latest developments in the structural gravity literature to quantify the partial and general equilibrium effects of GATT/WTO membership on trade and welfare. Using an extensive database covering manufacturing trade for 186 countries over the period 1980-2016, we find that the...
