Analysis of the role of international network effects on the diffusion of second and third generation mobile communication networks

Baquero, Maria; Kuroda, Toshifumi - 2015

Using quarterly data of 58 countries, this paper provides empirical evidence that mobile phone diffusion from 2007 to 2009 is positively influenced by international network effects. Direct and indirect network effects are a result of the international standadization of telecommunication...

Agglomeration, segmentation and technology choice

Sawada, Yukiko - 2014

This paper presents a simple two country model in which firms in manufacturing sector choose a technology level (high or low). I show how trade integration and productivity differential affect technology choice clearly. In particular, if the gap of productivity of high technology is medium,...

A spatial-filtering zero-inflated approach to the estimation of the gravity model of trade

Metulini, Rodolfo; Patuelli, Roberto; Griffith, Daniel A. - 2016

Nonlinear estimation of the gravity model with Poisson/negative binomial methods has become popular to model international trade flows, as it permits a better accounting for large numbers of zero flows. Nevertheless, as trade flows are not independent of each other due to spatial...

Modelling inter-regional trade flows : data and methodological issues in Rhomolo

Ivanova, Olga; Kancs, d’Artis; Stelder, Dirk - 2010

The present paper studies the modelling of inter-regional trade flows in the newly developed general equilibrium model of European Commission, Rhomolo. In contrast to international trade, usually, trade of goods and services between regions is not recorded statistically. As a result, no...

Empirical productivity distributions and international trade

Egger, Peter; Erhardt, Katharina; Nigai, Sergey - 2021 - This draft: March 2021

We use firm-level data for 15 countries and 13 manufacturing sectors to estimate firm-level productivity parameters and to establish representative country-sector-specific empirical productivity distributions. We use these distributions against the backdrop of multi-sector versions of the models...

The effect of absorptive capacity on exports : a panel data analysis

Márquez-Ramos, Laura; Martínez-Zarzoso, Inmaculada - 2010

In previous research, we analysed the effect of technological innovation, understood as absorptive capacity, on exports by using a gravity model of trade for the year 2000 (see Márquez-Ramos and Martínez-Zarzoso, 2009). We found that the effect of technological innovation on trade varies...

Survey-based indicators vs. hard data : what improves export forecasts in Europe?

Lehmann, Robert - 2015

We evaluate whether survey-based indicators produce lower forecast errors for export growth than indicators obtained … with country-specific export compositions. A larger share in raw material or oil exports worsens the accuracy of soft … indicators, we find only weak evidence for the export composition to explain differences in forecast accuracy. …
