Ignoring strategic interactions among final goods producers, the extant theoretical literature shows that lower costs of imported inputs increase the exports of the final goods using those inputs. Hence, it does not explain the empirically relevant positive relationship between the costs of...

The aim of the presented text is to evaluate the structure and development of the Czech wine market, foreign wine trade and to analyse the factors shaping domestic demand for wine. The text presents the results of the analysis of primary and secondary data. Time series on the development and...

国际农产品贸易对于维护全球粮食安全起着关键的作用。 一方面， 国际贸易使全球的消费者得以获取多样性的食物（Krivonos 和 Kuhn， 2019）， 另一方面， 贸易也可以通过食品分配机制， 充分利...

The study aimed to analyze the evolution of the poultry sector in Romania in the period 2007-2019. The main indicators studied in the poultry sector were: poultry, meat production, eggs production, consumption, producer prices, imports and exports. The research method was based on a quantitative...

The role of exports in promoting economic growth has been widely acknowledged. This paper analyses the link between exports, imports, and growth performance in Kenya using time series data. Despite trade liberalization and export promotion policies pursued over time, Kenya's export growth has...

Die import- und exportseitige Abhängigkeit deutscher Industriebranchen von China auf der Vorleistungsebene wird hier mit einer Auswertung der internationalen Input-Output-Tabellen von FIGARO (Full International and Global Accounts for Research in Input-Output Analysis) ermittelt, die von...

This paper investigates whether the impact of trade shocks on employment and wages persists across generations. Using survey data with retrospective information on parental employment, we study the causal effect of increased Chinese import competition in Brazilian industries on individuals with...

We use Danish firm-level data to examine the causal link between carbon emissions, offshoring, and import competition. Offshoring reduces firms' emission intensity but increases their production. Import competition reduces firms' production without affecting their emission intensity. For...

We employ employer-employee matched data from Denmark and utilize plausibly exogenous variation in the rise of import competition due to the dismantling of import quotas as China entered the World Trade Organization to show, first, that rising import competition has led to reduced employment in...

In diesem Report wird untersucht, ob China mit seinen Exporten immer mehr in diejenigen Branchen vordringt, in denen die deutsche Wirtschaft ihre Stärken hat. Um dieser Frage nachzugehen, werden die Veränderungen der Anteile Chinas und Deutschlands an den EU-Importen im Zeitraum 2000 bis 2022...

We empirically investigate whether firms lower information frictions in foreign sourcing through prior exporting. Using a panel of Slovenian manufacturing firms in the period 1996-2011, we estimate the probability of import entry in a new market when the firm is already exporting to the same...

Although many firms operate on global digital platforms, small countries and firms also play an essential role at the national level, especially during crises and the slowdown in globalization. This research investigates trade patterns in digital services at the country and firm level and...

We develop a dynamic model of inventory investment and trade to examine how firms adjust to changes in international trade costs when facing a risk of stockouts due to demand uncertainty and order lead times for imports. We study two strategies firms may use to avoid stockouts, namely holding...

Imported capital goods, which embody skill-complementary technologies, can increase the supply of skills in developing countries. Focusing on China and using a shift-share design, we show that city-level capital goods import growth increases the local skill share and that both skill acquisition...

Zwischen China und dem Westen bestehen gegenseitige Abhängigkeiten, die für beide Seiten das Potenzial haben, bei einem geopolitischen Konflikt hohe wirtschaftliche Kosten entstehen zu lassen. Sollte China tatsächlich eine Invasion Taiwans planen, wäre der Westen bei dann wahrscheinlichen...

This study examines the impact of exports, imports, and trade openness on Namibia's economic growth using the ARDL cointegration method. The results reveal a significant negative relationship between imports and economic growth, while exports and trade openness show positive and significant...

The share of private consumption has long been small in the Chinese GDP. The share started to increase in the past decade, but the trend reversed with the covid-19 pandemic. Now as the Chinese economy reopens and recovers from covid restrictions, the share of consumption could return to a...

Using unique information on firm level domestic outsourcing of manufacturing jobs by Indian firms, we propose two channels and their interaction as determinants of the fragmentation of production: import competition and labor market regulation. We find that greater import competition from China...

This study designs a method to estimate the productivity of exported products by combining custom and firm survey data. To build a productivity link between imports and exports, we also estimate the contribution of import scope to productivity. By using micro data during trade liberalization in...

We study the consequences of non-tariff barriers to imports on firms' behavior in export markets. We exploit the timing in which several inputs entered a system of non-automatic import licenses (NAILs) that was implemented in Argentina to study the consequences of the policy on the behavior of...

Economic theory suggests that countries’ tariff commitments in trade agreements reflect their import market power at the time of negotiations. However, as countries grow, their market power in different sectors can change in unforeseen ways and their commitments may no longer reflect changed...

This paper examines the link between trade-induced changes in local labor market opportunities and English language fluency rates among low-education immigrants in the United States. The production-based manufacturing jobs lost due to Chinese import competition around the turn of the century...

This policy brief provides an overview of Finland's dependency on imports from China in both a national and EU context. As trade figures based on value added only provide a rough notion of China's contribution to final consumption, we also consider import dependence from the goods imports...
