A Spatial Perspective on European Integration: Heterogeneous Welfare and Migration Effects from the Single Market and the Brexit

Henkel, Marcel; Seidel, Tobias - 2016

We use a quantitative model to study the implications of European integration for welfare and migration flows across 1,318 regions. The model suggests that an increase of trade barriers to the level of 1957 reduces welfare by about 1-2 percent on average, depending on the presumed trade...

The (Structural) Gravity of Epidemics

Cuñat, Alejandro; Zymek, Robert - 2020

Epidemiological models assume gravity-like interactions of individuals across space without microfoundations. We … of people across space obey a structural gravity equation. By means of an application to data from Great Britain we show … that our structural-gravity framework: provides a rationale for quarantines; offers a clear mapping from observed geography …

International trade integration: a disaggregated approach

Chen, Natalie; Novy, Dennis - 2009

This paper investigates the sources and size of trade barriers at the industry level. We derive a micro-founded measure of industry-specific bilateral trade integration that has an in-built control for time-varying multilateral resistance. This trade integration measure is consistent with a...

Is the international border effect larger than the domestic border effect? : evidence from U.S. trade

Coughlin, Cletus C.; Novy, Dennis - 2009

Many studies have found that international borders represent large barriers to trade. But how do international borders compare to domestic border barriers? We investigate international and domestic border barriers in a unified framework. We consider a unique data set of exports from individual...

The elasticity of trade: Estimates and evidence

Simonovska, Ina; Waugh, Michael E. - 2011

Quantitative results from a large class of international trade models depend critically on the elasticity of trade with respect to trade frictions. We develop a simulated method of moments estimator to estimate this elasticity from disaggregate price and trade-flow data using the Ricardian...

Trade blocs and trade wars during the interwar period

Jacks, David S.; Novy, Dennis - 2019

What precisely were the causes and consequences of the trade wars in the 1930s? Were there perhaps deeper forces at work in reorienting global trade prior to the outbreak of World War II? And what lessons may this particular historical episode provide for the present day? To answer these...

Multimarket Linkages, Cartel Discipline and Trade Costs

Agnosteva, Delina; Syropoulos, Constantinos; Yotov, Yoto V. - 2017

We build a model of tacit collusion between firms that operate in multiple markets to study the effects of trade costs. A key feature of the model is that cartel discipline is endogenous. Thus, markets that appear segmented are strategically linked via the incentive compatibility constraint....

Estimating Border Effects: The Impact of Spatial Aggregation

Coughlin, Cletus C.; Novy, Dennis - 2016

this paper, we investigate the sensitivity of standard gravity estimation to spatial aggregation. We build a model in which …. Even if no border frictions exist at the micro level, gravity estimation on aggregate data can still produce large border …
