Preferential trading in agriculture: New insights from a structural gravity analysis and machine learning

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Preferential trade agreements (PTAs) contain various non‐tariff provisions, yet identifying their trade effects remains challenging because these commitments are high‐dimensional and strongly correlated within agreements. We estimated a theory‐consistent structural gravity model with domestic flows for 26 agricultural subsectors over 1988–2017

The effect of extreme wildfire exposure on energy poverty: Evidence from Australia's Black Saturday bushfires

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study assesses the effects of the 2009 Black Saturday Bushfires (BSB), which primarily occurred in rural regions of Victoria and represent the deadliest bushfire event in Australia's history, on household energy poverty. Using a linear panel event‐study, an entropy‐balanced event‐study, and a staggered difference‐in‐differences (DiD ...
