The WTO Global Trade Costs Index and its determinants
Rubínová, Stela; Sebti, Mehdi - 2021 - Manuscript date: 18 January 2021
This study provides a decomposition of the WTO Global Trade Costs Index into five policy-relevant components: transport and travel costs; information and transaction costs; ICT connectedness; trade policy and regulatorydifferences; and governance quality. The WTO Global Trade CostsIndex is based...

The trade effects of border controls : evidence from the European Schengen Agreement
Felbermayr, Gabriel; Gröschl, Jasmin Katrin; … - 2016
The Schengen Agreement has guaranteed unchecked travel across internal EU borders since 1995. Has it also facilitated trade flows? Our econometric analysis suggests that Schengen has boosted trade by 3% on average (equivalent to a drop in tariffs by 0.7 percentage points). Goods trade is more...

Gravity redux: Measuring international trade costs with panel data
Novy, Dennis - 2011
Barriers to international trade are known to be large but due to data limitations it is hard to measure them directly for a large number of countries over many years. To address this problem I derive a micro-founded measure of bilateral trade costs that indirectly infers trade frictions from...

Multimarket linkages, cartel discipline and trade costs
Agnosteva, Delina; Syropoulos, Constantinos; Yotov, Yoto V. - 2017
We build a model of tacit collusion between firms that operate in multiple markets to study the effects of trade costs. A key feature of the model is that cartel discipline is endogenous. Thus, markets that appear segmented are strategically linked via the incentive compatibility constraint....

Estimating border effects : the impact of spatial aggregation
Coughlin, Cletus Charles; Novy, Dennis - 2016
this paper, we investigate the sensitivity of standard gravity estimation to spatial aggregation. We build a model in which …. Even if no border frictions exist at the micro level, gravity estimation on aggregate data can still produce large border …
