Notes on BACI (analytical database of international trade). 1989-2002 version

Gaulier, Guillaume; Zignago, Soledad - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2004

BACI draws on United Nations COMTRADE data and covers more than 200 countries and 5,000 products, between 1994 and 2004. Imports and exports flows are reported annually by 130 countries to United Nations in values and quantities. When both exporting and importing countries report, we have two...

Monitoring Trade Costs in Southeast Asia

SOURDIN, Patricia; POMFRET, Richard - Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA) - 2009

This paper develops an Index of Trade Costs for ASEAN Member Countries, 1990-2007 based on the gap between cif and fob values of ASEAN exports to Australia. The cif/fob gap is a commonly used aggregate measure of trade costs, and Australia is a useful benchmark for ASEAN countries because it is...

Import processing and trade costs

Carballo, Jerónimo; Graziano, Alejandro; Schaur, Georg; … - 2023

We estimate import processing costs based on the time it takes to import. Our theory extends existing time-cost measures to account for uncertainty in import processing. We use detailed, highly disaggregated data on import processing dates and import values to provide evidence for our theory and...

Using Observable Trade Data to Measure Bilateral Trade Costs in Sub-Saharan Africa

Turkson, Festus Ebo - Centre for Research in Economic Development and …

Following closely the analytical approach adopted by Head and Mayer (2004) and Novy (2010), this paper derives a micro-founded bilateral trade cost measure for sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) as a function of observable domestic and inter-national trade data. The derived measure of trade cost by Novy...

A simple model of quality heterogeneity and international trade

Dinopoulos, Elias; Unel, Bulent - In: Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control 37 (2013) 1, pp. 68-83

This paper develops a trade model with firm-specific quality heterogeneity in markets where firms face the threat of imitation and engage in limit-pricing strategies. Firms producing high-quality (high-price) products export, whereas firms producing lower-quality (lower-price) products serve the...

On the stability of multimarket collusion in price-setting supergames

Akinbosoye, Osayi; Bond, Eric W.; Syropoulos, Constantinos - In: International Journal of Industrial Organization 30 (2012) 2, pp. 253-264

In this paper we examine how trade liberalization affects collusive stability in the context of multimarket interactions. The model we consider is a segmented-markets duopoly with differentiated goods in which price-setting firms pool their incentive constraints across markets to sustain their...

Gravity Redux: Estimation of gravity-equation coefficients, elasticities of substitution, and general equilibrium comparative statics under asymmetric bilateral trade costs

Bergstrand, Jeffrey H.; Egger, Peter; Larch, Mario - In: Journal of International Economics 89 (2013) 1, pp. 110-121

A large class of models with CES utility and iceberg trade costs are now known to generate isomorphic “gravity … equations.” Economic interpretations of these gravity equations vary in terms of two basic elements: the exporter's “mass … contributions. First, we formulate and estimate a structural gravity equation based on the standard Krugman model of monopolistic …
