A Structural Quantitative Analysis of Services Trade De-Liberalization

Blank, Sven - 2019

This paper suggests a quantifiable multi-sector-multi-country economic model of goods and services production and consumption. It calibrates overall (variable and fixed) costs to market-specific sales by sector and decomposes these costs into observable and unobservable components. In an...

Heterogeneous effects of tariff and nontariff trade-policy barriers in quantitative general equilibrium

Egger, Peter; Erhardt, Katharina - In: Quantitative economics : QE ; journal of the … 15 (2024) 2, pp. 453-487

Structural quantitative work in international economics typically models trade costs as a log-linear function of exogenous trade-policy variables. We propose a structural approach that allows for a nonparametric relationship and for treating tariff and nontariff trade-policy variables as...

Empirical productivity distributions and international trade

Egger, Peter; Erhardt, Katharina; Nigai, Sergey - 2021 - This draft: March 2021

We use firm-level data for 15 countries and 13 manufacturing sectors to estimate firm-level productivity parameters and … to establish representative country-sector-specific empirical productivity distributions. We use these distributions … of technology in shaping international trade flows. We find that, on average, absolute advantage measured as productivity …

Gravity-model estimation with time-interval data : revisiting the impact of free trade agreements

Egger, Peter; Larch, Mario; Yotov, Yoto - 2020

We challenge the common practice of estimating gravity equations with time-interval data in order to capture dynamic-adjustment effects to trade-policy changes. Instead, we point to a series of advantages of using consecutive-year data recognizing dynamic-adjustment effects. Our analysis reveals...

Bayesian estimation of multivariate panel probits with higher-order network interdependence and an application to firms' global market participation in Guangdong

Baltagi, Badi H.; Egger, Peter; Kesina, Michaela - 2022

This paper proposes a Bayesian estimation framework for panel-data sets with binary dependent variables where a large number of cross-sectional units is observed over a short period of time, and cross-sectional units are interdependent in more than a single network domain. The latter provides...

Contagious exporting and foreign ownership : evidence from firms in Shanghai using a Bayesian spatial bivariate probit model

Baltagi, Badi H.; Egger, Peter; Kesina, Michaela - 2018

Whether a firm is able to attract foreign capital and whether it may participate at the export market depends on whether the fixed costs associated with doing so are at least covered by the incremental operating profits. This paper provides evidence that success for some firms in attracting...

On the Welfare Effects of Trade and Investment Liberalization

Egger, Peter; Larch, Mario; Pfaffermayr, Michael - 2003

Using a three factor knowledge-capital model of trade and multinational activity, we consider a set of policy experiments to assess the welfare effects of trade and investment liberalization in general equilibrium. Specifically, we address the question of whether and under which circumstances a...

Trade Liberalisation with Multinational Firms : Effects on Welfare and Intra-Industry Trade

Egger, Hartmut; Greenaway, David; Egger, Peter - 2005

In this paper, we model trade liberalisation as an endogenous process and shed new light on how economic fundamentals like endowments and technology affect potential gains, the welfare effects of liberalisation and its consequences for intra-industry trade. We construct a general equilibrium...
