Depth and Death: Trade Agreements and Trade Duration
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.
