Product-Level Trade Elasticities [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2019 Trade elasticity is a crucial parameter in evaluating the welfare impacts of trade liberalization. We estimate trade elasticities at the product level (6-digit of the Harmonized System comprising more than 5,000 product categories) by exploiting the variation in bilateral applied tariffs for each product category for the universe of ...

The Trade Impact of EU Tariff Margins: An Empirical Assessment
Social Sciences, 2019 This article provides an assessment of how the EU trade policies affect EU imports. The main contribution is that we compute a theoretically consistent measure of the EU tariff margin and estimate the elasticities of substitution at the sectoral level ...

Import Demand Elasticities and Trade Distortions [PDF]
Review of Economics and Statistics, 2008 To study the effects of tariffs on gross domestic product (GDP), one needs import demand elasticities at the tariff line level that are consistent with GDP maximization. These do not exist. The authors modify Kohli's (1991) GDP function approach to estimate demand elasticities for 4,625 imported goods in 117 countries.

Global value chains and trade elasticities [PDF]
Economics Letters, 2014 Previous studies have argued that global value chains (GVCs) have increased the sensitivity of trade to foreign income shocks. This may occur either because GVC trade is concentrated in durable goods industries, which are known to have high income elasticities (a composition effect), or because, within industries, GVC trade has a higher income ...

Revealing Subtle Competitiveness Nuances in the EU Wine Value Chain by Expanding the Applicability of Elasticities [PDF]
Amfiteatru EconomicConventional methods for assessing competitiveness capture a limited reflection of market adaptability. This limitation needs to be addressed in light of the volatile geopolitical context and shifting trade policies, which shape an environment in which

Trade Elasticities for G-7 Countries [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 1998 This paper reports the results of a project to estimate and test the stability properties of conventional equations relating real imports and exports of goods and services for the G-7 countries to their incomes and relative prices. We begin by estimating cointegration vectors and the error-correction formulations.

Estimating the Elasticity of Trade: The Trade Share Approach [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2013 Recent theoretical work on international trade emphasizes the importance of trade elasticity as the fundamental statistic needed to conduct welfare analysis. Eaton and Kortum (2002) proposed a two-step method to estimate this parameter, where exporter fixed effects are regressed on proxies for technology and wages.

The Elasticity of Trade: Estimates and Evidence [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2011 Quantitative results from a large class of structural gravity models of international trade depend critically on a single parameter governing the elasticity of trade with respect to trade frictions. We provide a new method to estimate this elasticity and illustrate the merits of our approach relative to the estimation strategy of Eaton and Kortum (2002)
