Migration and trade are often linked through ethnic networks boosting bilateral trade. This study uses migration to … quantify the importance of Ricardian technology differences for international trade. The framework provides the first panel … between 1.6 and 2.4 depending upon weighting. This provides an important contribution to the trade literature of Ricardian …

The first … chapter compares the impact of international trade in intermediate inputs (offshoring) on wage inequality in two distinct but … and estimates the importance of international trade in intermediate inputs and internationally mobile capital for the …

This paper explores the economic impacts of preferential trade agreements, conditional on their level of ambition. We … cluster 278 agreements, encompassing 910 provisions over 18 policy areas and estimate the trade elasticity for the different …, revealing that deepening existing agreements (the intensive margin of regional integration) could boost world trade by 5 percent …

This paper uses a gravity model to assess ex-post regional trade agreements.

The gravity model is a workhorse tool that has been widely used in international trade. However, one empirical question … factor information related to geographical, cultural, political and economic variables that might a ect international trade …

We investigate the consequences of redistribution policy on migration and trade in a Standard two-good Heckscher …-Ohlin framework.
