High versus low skilled migration, corruption and trade

Mundra, Kusum; Liu, Tianhao - 2026

This paper shows that immigrants not only have differential effects on trade based on their skill levels but that they play an additional role in facilitating bilateral trade if their origin country has a higher level of corruption and weaker institutions. Using immigrant stock across skill...

Immigration and trade creation : evidence from the extensive and intensive margins

Abeliansky, Ana Lucia; Martínez-Zarzoso, Inmaculada; … - 2026

This paper reexamines the trade creation effects of migration using a large sample of 180 countries from 1995 to 2023. We estimate a structural gravity model of bilateral trade augmented with migration stocks, investigating whether immigration to OECD countries relates to the extensive and...

Instrumental-variable poisson PML with high-dimensional fixed effects

Kwon, Ohyun; Larch, Mario; Yoon, Jangsu; Yotov, Yoto - 2026

We implement an instrumental-variable Poisson pseudo-maximum likelihood estimator with high-dimensional fixed effects (IV-PPML-HDFE). To correct for incidental parameter bias, we use a split-panel jackknife (SPJ) routine with bootstrapped standard errors. Monte Carlo simulations across the three...

Interregional trade estimation as a case for economic integration

Arena, Giacomo; Bregoli, Daniele; Ferreira, Ricardo; … - 2026

This paper explores the estimation of interregional trade as a lens through which to assess the broader dynamics of economic integration, with a particular emphasis on the persistent "border effect" in the European Union (EU). Although regional integration is intended to foster seamless economic...

The role of non-tariff measures in export competitiveness in the wine industry

Gouveia, Sofia; Macedo, Anthony; Rebelo, João - 2026

Among firms, policymakers, and researchers in trade policy instruments, the resur-gence of protectionism has sparked renewed interest, particularly in non-tariff measures (NTMs) in agri-food industries such as sanitary and phytosanitary measures (SPSs) and tech-nical barriers to trade (TBTs)....

The sequencing of trade facilitation reforms and its impact on trade : evidence from the UN Global Survey on Digital and Sustainable Trade Facilitation, 2015-2025

Duval, Yann - 2026

Countries implement trade facilitation reforms sequentially, yet little is known about whether the order of implementation matters for trade. This paper provides systematic evidence, using the six rounds (2015-2025) of the UN Global Survey on Digital and Sustainable Trade Facilitation - the only...
