International trade and exchange rate
Kang, Jong Woo - 2016
Tepid trade growth since the 2008/2009 global financial crisis (GFC) has been partly attributed to sluggish demand from developed countries. However, data reveals that developing countries play a bigger role in holding back trade growth, while developed countries show quite robust import growth....

Bilateral Trade of Cultural Goods
Luca d'Agliano, Centro Studi; Tai, Silvio H. T.; … - 2008
International trade flows of cultural goods have grown very rapidly over the last decades and their liberalization will be one of the important issues of future multilateral trade negotiations. Despite these stakes, cultural flows have, to date, not been much studied by trade economists. In this...

Impact of Environmental Regulations on Trade in the Main EU Countries : Conflict or Synergy?
De Santis, Roberta - 2011
In an increasingly integrated world with declining trade barriers, environmental regulations can have a decisive role in shaping countries' comparative advantages. The conventional wisdom about environmental protection is that it comes at an additional cost on firms imposed by the government,...

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 their impact on estimated coefficients. They then estimate...

Distance and border effects in international trade : a comparison of estimation
Magerman, Glenn; Studnicka, Zuzanna; Van Hove, Jan - 2015
This paper compares various estimation techniques used to determine the impact of distance and borders on international trade. The results consistently confirm the significantly negative distance effect, while the border effect, measured by evaluating whether intra-continental trade exceeds...

Gravity, distance, and international trade
Baier, Scott L.; Kerr, Amanda; Yotov, Yoto V. - 2017
We review and interpret the main theoretical developments in the gravity literature from its very early, a-theoretical applications to the latest structural contributions. We also discuss challenges and implement methods to estimate empirical gravity equations. We finish with a presentation and...

The effects of transit systems on international trade
Carballo, Jerónimo; Graziano, Alejandro G.; Schaur, Georg - 2021 - This version: October 2021
In this paper, we estimate the trade effects of a transit system upgrading that streamlines border processing in developing countries. Our empirical approach combines transaction level export data from El Salvador with unique data that distinguishes export flows that were processed on the...

Return of the tariffs : the interwar trade collapse revisited
Adam, Marc C. - 2019
Was the collapse of world trade between 1928 and 1937 caused by higher transport costs, increased protectionism or the collapse of the gold standard? Using recent advances in the estimation of gravity equations, I examine the partial and general equilibrium effects of bilateral distance,...
