Product-level trade elasticities : worth weighting for

Fontagné, Lionel; Guimbard, Houssein; Orefice, Gianluca - 2020

Trade elasticity is a crucial parameter in evaluating the welfare impacts of changes in trade frictions. The value of this parameter varies widely across product categories, however, which is especially important for developing countries' evaluation of the welfare gains from trade. We estimate,...

Icebergs versus tariffs : a quantitative perspective on the gains from trade ; conference paper

Felbermayr, Gabriel; Jung, Benjamin; Larch, Mario - 2013

We derive a simple equation for the welfare gains from trade when tariffs are liberalized or iceberg trade costs fall. Covering various one-sector trade models that may or may not feature extensive margins and imperfect competition, we generalize the analysis of Arkolakis, Costinot and...

How would a slowdown in the People's Republic of China affect its trading partners?

Thorbecke, Willem; Kato, Atsuyuki - In: Asia and the global economy : AGE 1 (2021) 2, pp. 1-9

The People's Republic of China (PRC) has become an important importer for many countries. This paper investigates how turbulence in the PRC can spill over to trading partners through the trade channel. Exports from several East and Southeast Asian countries to the PRC exceed 10% of their GDPs....

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...

Distance and border effects in international trade : a comparison of estimation methods

Magerman, Glenn; Studnicka, Zuzanna; Van Hove, Jan - 2016

This paper compares various estimation methods often used in the estimation of gravity models of international trade …. The authors first discuss different structural and consistent estimation techniques, their underlying assumptions and … empirical methodologies. They focus on a comparison of the distance and border effects across estimation techniques. For the …

Services versus goods trade : are they the same?

Ariu, Andrea - 2012

In this paper, we present for the first time a qualitative and quantitative comparison between trade in services and trade in goods at firm level for the same country.
