Deep trade agreements and heterogeneous firms exports

Neri-Lainé, Matteo; Orefice, Gianluca; Ruta, Michele - 2023

This paper studies the effect of regional trade agreements on firms' exports. Using detailed information on the content of trade agreements and firm-level exports for 31 developing countries between 2000 and 2020, the analysis shows that the depth of trade agreements matters for the export...

Robust linear static panel data models using ε-contamination

Baltagi, Badi H.; Bresson, Georges; Chaturvedi, Anoop; … - 2014

The paper develops a general Bayesian framework for robust linear static panel data models using ε-contamination. A two-step approach is employed to derive the conditional type-II maximum likelihood (ML-II) posterior distribution of the coefficients and individual effects. The ML-II posterior...
