Determinants of export supply in Pakistan : a sector wise disaggregated analysis

Hussain, Sayed Irshad; Hussain, Akhtar; Alam, Muhammad … - In: Cogent economics & finance 8 (2020) 1, pp. 1-24

This study aims to investigate the impact of supply-side factors on the export performance of Pakistan at a disaggregated level. It has identified major export categories of Pakistan and constructed a novel time-series data set of each of these categories from 1971 to 2014. Using autoregressive...

Gravity without apology : the science of elasticities, distance, and trade

Carrère, Céline; Mrázová, Monika; Neary, J. Peter - 2020

Gravity as both fact and theory is one of the great success stories of recent research on international trade, and has featured prominently in the policy debate over Brexit. We first review the facts, noting the overwhelming evidence that trade tends to fall with distance. We then introduce some...

Price and Volume Elasticities of Brazilian Foreign Trade : A Profit Function Approach

de Mello, Luiz - 2009

Brazil, like other natural resource-exporting countries, has benefited from a sharp increase in commodity prices over the last few years. To investigate the possible impact of terms-of-trade gains on the real economy, this paper estimates normalised quadratic input demand and output supply...

Methodological Shortcomings in Estimating Armington Elasticities

Cassoni, Adriana; Flores, Manuel - 2011

CGEMs are one of the most potentially powerful tools for simulating policies. However, a major restriction they face is them needing a huge number of parameters that are not always available, and even at times impossible to obtain. When CGEMs are applied to trade, Armington elasticities of...

We Could Not Care Less About Armington Elasticities – But Should We? A Meta-Sensitivity Analysis of the Influence of Armington Elasticity Misspecification on Simulation Results

Schürenberg-Frosch, Hannah - 2016

This paper investigates the robustness of CGE models with respect to the elasticities of substitution in demand between domestically produced goods and foreign goods – the so-called Armington elasticities. The Armington-type modeling of trade is still one of the most extensively used...

Unifying Macro Elasticities in International Economics

Yilmazkuday, Hakan - 2017

International trade studies have higher macro (Armington) elasticity measures compared to international finance studies … gains from trade. Regarding the policy implications, this so-called international elasticity puzzle is solved in this paper … through expenditure shares. It is shown theoretically and confirmed empirically that the macro elasticity in international …

Importer-Specific Elasticities of Demand : Evidence from U.S. Exports

Yilmazkuday, Hakan - 2019

This paper investigates whether the elasticity of demand systematically changes from one importer country to another in … an international trade context. Evidence from U.S. exports supports this view by suggesting that the elasticity of demand … to the U.S. of the importer country. In terms of policy implications, using a common elasticity measure would …

World-trade growth accounting

Egger, Peter; Nigai, Sergey K. - 2016 - This draft: March 2016

We undertake a trade-growth accounting exercise by decomposing data on changes in bilateral international trade flows into their direct (endowment accumulation, productivity growth, changes in trade costs, changing preferences) and indirect components (general equilibrium effects). Furthermore,...
