Bratti, Massimiliano; De Benedictis, Luca; Santoni, Gianluca - 2012

In this paper we investigate the causal effect of immigration on trade flows, using Italian panel data covering very small geographical units (NUTS-3). Exploiting the very favorable setup offered by Italy's features - the very high number of countries of origin of immigrants ('super-diversity'),...

Growth and trade with frictions : a structural estimation framework

Anderson, James E.; Larch, Mario; Yotov, Yoto V. - 2015

We build and estimate a structural dynamic general equilibrium model of growth and trade. Trade affects growth through changes in consumer and producer prices that in turn stimulate or impede physical capital accumulation. At the same time, growth affects trade, directly through changes in...

Migration and trade : a complex-network approach

Fagiolo, Giorgio; Mastrorillo, Marina - 2013

This paper explores the relationships between migration and trade using a complex-network approach. We show that: (i) both weighted and binary versions of the networks of international migration and trade are strongly correlated; (ii) such correlations can be mostly explained by country...

FDI, trade integration and the border effect : evidence from the European Union

Martínez-San Román, Valeriano; Bengoa, Marta; … - 2014

This paper intends to combine two fields in the economic literature by examining empirically the FDI pattern - horizontal versus vertica l- within the European Union and the relevance of trade integration as a potential determinant of investment flows over the period 1995-2009. We capture trade...

Using observable trade data to measure bilateral trade costs in sub-Saharan Africa

Turkson, Festus Ebo - 2012

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...

The impact of distance in seaborne trade : an analysis of bilateral container transport flows

Biermann, Franziska - 2012

A significant part of world trade volume is transported by container ship today. Growing world trade will enforce containerization, since standardized shipment reduces transport costs. The research aim of this paper is to identify the impact of variables used in merchandise trade flow models,...

Threshold and interaction effects in the trade, growth, and inequality relationship

Leyaro, Vincent - 2015

This paper examines the relationship between trade (exports), growth, and inequality, using a panel of 100 countries over 30 years (1980 to 2010). As there is no clear theoretical relationship between trade (exports) and inequality, and as inequality can be considered a proxy for 'governance...
