To estimate correctly the effect of variable trade costs on firms’ exports, the gravity equation should control for the number of firms that participate in foreign markets. Due to the absence of these data, previous studies control for this omitted variable using econometric strategies that...

Fixed export costs and export behavior

Castro, Luis; Li, Ben; Maskus, Keith E.; Xie, Yiqing - 2014

This paper provides a direct test of how fixed export costs and productivity jointly determine firm-level export … behavior. Using Chilean data, we construct indices of fixed export costs for each industry-region-year triplet and match them … to domestic firms. Our empirical results show that firms facing higher fixed export costs are less likely to export …

Markups, quality, and trade costs

Chen, Natalie; Juvenal, Luciana - 2019

We investigate theoretically and empirically how exporters adjust their markups across destinations depending on bilateral distance, tariffs, and the quality of their exports. Under the assumption that trade costs are both ad valorem and per unit, our model predicts that markups rise with...

Do aid for trade flows help reduce the shadow economy in recipient countries?

Gnangnon, Sèna Kimm - In: Economies : open access journal 10 (2022) 12, pp. 1-33

The present analysis assessed the effect of Aid-for-Trade (AfT) flows on the shadow economy using an unbalanced panel dataset of 106 countries over the period of 2002 to 2015. The empirical results obtained by means of the two-step system generalized method of moments showed that higher AfT...

Urban-Biased Structural Change

Chen, Natalie; Novy, Dennis; Perroni, Carlo; Wong, … - 2023

Using firm-level data from France, we document that the shift of economic activity from manufacturing to services over the last few decades has been urban-biased: structural change has been more pronounced in areas with higher population density. This bias can be accounted for by the location...
