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 …

Rags in the high rent district : the evolution of quota rents in textiles and clothing

Francois, Joseph F.; Wörz, Julia - 2005

We develop a mixed complementarity programming (MCP) based estimating framework for non-tariff barriers (NTBs) to examine the evolution of market access conditions in the textile and clothing sectors, working with a panel of bilateral trade data on textile and clothing trade, underlying...

Estimating trade policy effects with structural gravity

Piermartini, Roberta; Yotov, Yoto V. - 2016

The objective of this manuscript is to serve as a practical guide for estimations with the structural gravity model. After a brief review of the theoretical foundations, we summarize the main challenges with gravity estimations and we review the solutions to address those challenges. Then, we...

The variation of gravity within countries (or 15 reasons why gravity should be estimated with domestic trade flows)

Yotov, Yoto - 2021

The gravity equation is the workhorse model for analysis of bilateral trade flows. Despite solid theoretical foundations and clear gains from theory-consistent policy analysis, there are still gaps between gravity theory and empirics. This paper focuses on domestic trade flows, and I argue that...

The Covid-19 pandemic and European trade flows : evidence from a dynamic panel model

Caporale, Guglielmo Maria; Sova, Anamaria Diana; Sova, … - 2022

This paper investigates the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on trade flows in the case of the European countries. First, an ARDL dynamic panel model is estimated using the PMG method to analyse monthly data covering the most recent period (2019M1-2021M12); then, the GMM and PCSE approaches are...

Estimating the Trade Elasticity over Time

Yilmazkuday, Hakan - 2020

Using quarterly data on the U.S. imports from its major trading partners and the corresponding trade costs, this paper estimates the trade elasticity by using a panel structural vector autoregressive model that can distinguish between short-run versus long-run elasticity measures in a continuous...

International trade and unemployment : a quantitative framework ; conference paper

Heid, Benedikt; Larch, Mario - 2013

Quantifying the welfare effects of trade liberalization is a core issue in international trade. Existing frameworks assume perfect labor markets and therefore ignore the effects of aggregate employment changes for welfare. We develop a quantitative trade framework which explicitly models labor...

Estimating trade policy effects with structural gravity

Piermartini, Roberta; Yotov, Yoto V. - 2016 - Manuscript date: July 14, 2016

Then, we integrate the latest developments in the empirical gravity literature and we offer six recommendations to obtain reliable partial equilibrium estimates of the effects of bilateral and non-discriminatory trade policies within the same comprehensive, and theoretically-consistent...

Fitting the gravity model when zero trade flows are frequent : a comparison of estimation techniques using Africa's trade data

Kareem, Fatima Olanike; Martínez-Zarzoso, Inmaculada; … - 2016

generated a number of debates in the literature with differing claims about the most suitable estimation technique. To produce …

The trade effect of the EU’s preference margins and non-tariff barriers

Cipollina, Maria; De Maria, Federica - In: Journal of risk and financial management : JRFM 13 (2020) 9/203, pp. 1-20

Nowadays, trade negotiations afford both liberalism- and protectionism-oriented policies. Indeed, in recent decades, the developed countries have been actively engaged in negotiating many preferential agreements to integrate developing countries (DCs) into world trade and encourage their...
