Main Effects

In this paper, we modify the model of Liao (2008) to investigate the trade of quality differentiated goods between countries. We show that main effects of the trade are on quality improvement of all goods and the trade does not make the goods cheaper. Thus, we argue that New Trade Theory might not explain international trade that is based on quality differentiation.The Journal of Development and Administrative Studies, Vol. 22, No. 1-2, pp. 15-26, 2014

The Relationship

Abstract The cost of international trade matters. As traditional barriers to trade continue to diminish in importance, additional ways to lower trade costs become increasingly important to promoting international trade. Migrants can help lower trade costs between their country of birth and their country of residence by providing an information channel that reduces friction and facilitates trade relations. This paper applies a gravity model to a large set of data about developed and developing countries to estimate the extent of the relationship between migrants and trade. The results suggest that both immigrants and emigrants are significantly related to higher trade volumes. Immigrants seem to be especially good at facilitating trade in differentiated goods, for which information costs are particularly important.
