Kwon, Ohyun; Syropoulos, Constantinos; Yotov, Yoto V. - 2022

Direct measures of the economic impact of sanctions are contaminated by the endogeneity that arises when other events in target countries (e.g., civil or interstate conflicts, political independence, etc.) instigate the imposition of sanctions. To address this issue, we propose a novel...

Production Function Estimation with Multi-Destination Firms

Barrows, Geoffrey; Ollivier, Hélène; Reshef, Ariell - 2023

We develop a procedure to estimate production functions, elasticities of demand, and productivity when firms endogenously select into multiple destination markets where they compete imperfectly, and when researchers observe output denominated only in value. We show that ignoring the...

Hidden Protectionism? Evidence from Non-tariff Barriers to Trade in the United States

Grundke, Robert; Moser, Christoph - 2014

Are product standards protectionism in disguise? This paper estimates the costs of non-compliance with U.S. product standards, using a new database on U.S. import refusals from 2002 to 2012. We find that import refusals significantly decrease exports to the United States. This trade reducing...
