This paper investigates the impact of offshoring on export performances of French, German and Italian automotive firms. We argue that the different offshoring strategies run by the main European automakers are responsible for the discrepancies in export performances of France, Germany and Italy...

Examining China’s manufacturing and transportation, we analyze how rapid expressway-network expansion fostered market access and industrial development. A domestic-trade model generates the market-access formula, estimatable equations, and economics for empirical findings. An estimation of...
