Kleinert, Jörn; Spies, Julia - 2011 - Preliminary version

This paper claims that distance alone is a poor proxy for international transport costs in gravity equations. We develop a theoretical framework with a manufacturing and a transport sector, where the level of manufacturing exports determines the demand for transport. Above a certain threshold,...

The Pacific's connectivity and its trade implications

Helble, Matthias - 2014

Pacific economies are confronted with several structural constraints that limit their economic growth, most importantly their small size and remoteness from major world markets. In this paper we study the importance of transport connectivity for Pacific economies when participating in the world...

Geography of Trade Costs in Italy

Fratianni, Michele U. - 2014

We show that economic development is associated with lower trade costs by applying a gravity equation to exports from 103 Italian provinces to 188 countries over the period 1995-2004. Italian provinces are heterogeneous with respect to trade costs

Disentangling frictions across the world : markups versus trade costs

Heid, Benedikt; Stähler, Frank - 2024

We develop a structural framework that allows us to quantify the evolution of aggregate bilateral trade costs and markups over time. With minimal assumptions, we can disentangle aggregate markup and trade cost changes from observed changes in trade flows. We apply our method to trade data...

Fly to Trade : Effects of International Direct Flights on Chinese Cities’ Trade

Wang, Linfeng; Fu, Shihe - 2022

This paper estimates the causal effect of international direct flights on cities’ international trade, using Chinese customs transaction-level trade data and flight route data from 2000 to 2015 and the staggered differences-in-differences approach. On average a Chinese city’s exports to a...

Accessibility and infrastructure in border cities

Sahel and West Africa Club; OECD - 2019

This report, part of the “Cities” collection, analyses road accessibility, transport corridors and checkpoints set up in border towns in West Africa. An innovative model shows that the population base of border towns could be 14% greater if there were no delays at border crossings. The...

Trade and the spatial distribution of transport infrastructure : conference paper

Felbermayr, Gabriel; Tarasov, Alexander - 2014 - This version: December 2013, Preliminary and incomplete draft

This paper endogenizes the spatial distribution of infrastructure investment and transportation costs. Transportation … costs between two addresses depend on cumulative infrastructure investment. In a continuous space setting with several … variation. The distribution of infrastructure is skewed towards central regions, rationalizing the non-linear trade …
