Depth and Death: Trade Agreements and Trade Duration
Review of International Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We examine how shallow and deep economic integration agreements affect duration of spells of trade. We build a dynamic model of firm behavior which allows us to characterize duration of trade and the effect of agreements. The model predicts that duration increases in size and length of spells, which is supported by data.

Review of International Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We propose a reduced‐form transitional gravity model and an accompanying flexible reduced‐form estimation approach. The Lucas–Prescott adjustment model is extended to allow for lag‐interval‐varying depreciation‐cum‐adjustment‐cost of bilateral trade capacities.
