We build a model of tacit collusion between firms that operate in multiple markets to study the effects of trade costs … strategically linked via the incentive compatibility constraint. Importantly, trade costs affect cartel shipments and welfare not … only directly but also indirectly through discipline. Using extensive data on international cartels, we find that trade …

We propose a simple and flexible econometric approach to quantify ex-ante the "deep" impact of trade liberalization and … measure of the change in bilateral trade costs in response to a hypothetical policy change. To demonstrate the effectiveness … of our methods, we focus on the integration between the countries from the Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA …

1697 goods originating in 112 countries, to analyse the impact on Canadian imports of interwar Canadian trade policy …, including the 1932 Ottawa trade agreements. Rather than use a dummy variable approach, we compute the impact of individual … tariffs which varied substantially across goods, trade partners, and time. We develop a novel method of controlling for …

The gravity equation is the workhorse model for analysis of bilateral trade flows. Despite solid theoretical … paper focuses on domestic trade flows, and I argue that there are significant benefits from adhering to theory by estimating … gravity equations with domestic (in addition to international) trade flows. To this end, I review the contributions from the …
