Producer heterogeneity, value-added, and international trade
Alexander, Patrick D. - 2016
Standard new trade models depict producers as heterogeneous in total factor productivity. In this paper, I adapt the … in value-added productivity. In equilibrium, this yields a positive relationship between the international trade …

Margins, gravity, and causality : export diversification and income levels reconsidered
Mau, Karsten - 2014
The paper shows that the relationship between GDP per capita and levels of specialization can be predicted differently depending on whether the intensive or the extensive margin is considered. It shows that at the extensive margin countries continuously diversify their exports and that...

Solving the Puzzle : A New Measure of Trade Distance in the Gravity Equation
Mejia, Juan-Felipe - 2014
The gravity model is a workhorse tool that has been widely used in international trade. However, one empirical question that frequently arises is related to the conceptualization and measurement of distance. To overcome this limitation, our study proposes an index of distance based on...

Estimating the elasticity of trade : the trade share approach
Lanati, Mauro - 2013 - March 2013, revised April 2013
Recent theoretical work on international trade emphasizes the importance of trade elasticity as the fundamental statistic needed to conduct welfare analysis. Eaton and Kortum (2002) proposed a two-step method to estimate this parameter, where exporter fixed effects are regressed on proxies for...
