GVCs and the endogenous geography of RTAs

Fontagné, Lionel; Santoni, Gianluca - 2018

Geography, economic size, or common history, help predicting signed regional trade agreements (RTAs). However, not all signed RTAs are "natural" according to economic determinants. En-dogeneity and general equilibrium effects of RTAS are the two mechanisms addressed in this paper. We estimate...

Heterogeneous economic integration agreement effects

Baier, Scott L.; Bergstrand, Jeffrey H.; Clance, Matthew W. - 2015

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...

The economic impact of deepening trade agreements

Fontagné, Lionel; Rocha, Nadia; Ruta, Michele; … - 2022

Staggered difference-in-differences in gravity settings : revisiting the effects of trade agreements

Nagengast, Arne J.; Yotov, Yoto - 2023

We nest an extended two-way fixed effect (ETWFE) estimator for staggered difference-in-differences within the structural gravity model. To test the ETWFE, we estimate the effects of regional trade agreements (RTAs). The results suggest that RTA estimates in the current gravity literature may be...

Regional Trade Agreements and the Pattern of Trade : A Networks Approach

Reyes, Javier; Wooster, Rossitza B.; Shirrell, Stuart - 2014

/or on gravity models of trade. Our results show that RTA formation appears to have a cyclical pattern on the world trade … network community structure. We document periods where bilateral trade flows and the structure of the world trade network are … in which the pattern in the world trade network is not explained by RTA formation. Two periods, 1986-1990 and 1997 …

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...

Market Access Provisions on Trade in Goods in Regional Trade Agreements

Crawford, Jo-Ann - 2012

This paper assembles detailed information on the market access provisions in trade in goods contained in 192 active regional trade agreements (RTAs) notified to the WTO as of November 2010. Although market access provisions in trade in goods in RTAs have been addressed in a number of studies,...
