-Maximilians-Universität München. It includes six self-contained chapters which deal with the following topics in empirical international trade and …, trade, and informal employment as illustrated by the maquiladora industry in Mexico (chapter 4), the interaction between … migration and trade and their effects on unemployment (chapter 5), and the dynamics of democracy and income chapter 6). …

We carry out an indirect inference test of two versions of a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of world trade …. One of these, the ‘classical’ model,is well-known as the Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson model of world trade, in which … countries trade homogeneous products in world markets and produce according to their comparative advantage as determined by …

LMU Munich in February 2019. It consists of four selfcontained chapters that empirically investigate different trade … dampening phenomena using gravity analysis. The first two chapters examine the effects of anti-dumping duties on trade …, addressing endogeneity concerns linked to trade policy. In particular, Chapter 1 exploits the EU enlargement of 2004 as a natural …

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 … extensive margin when data contain only positive trade flows. We also control for the pervasive presence of heteroscedasticity …

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 welfare effects of trade-cost changes. This paper addresses theoretically …
