Trade Liberalization, Infrastructure and Industrial Performance in Cameroon
Using pre-and post-reform industry-level panel and aggregate national infrastructure data, this paper examines the effects of infrastructure on industry productivity in Cameroon, controlling for trade variable and correcting for the likely endogeneity of infrastructure and other regressors. The empirical strategy involves, (i) estimation of production functions augmented by the infrastructure q...
متن کاملTransport Infrastructure and Industrial Location: the Case of Thailand
This paper addresses the impact of transport infrastructure projects of manufacturing employment in Thai regions. After a theoretical review we consider the impact of various transport modes: road, rail and ports. We find that roads and ports have a positive impact on industrial location, although the size of the impact is modest. Labor appears to be a more important location factor in Thailand...

متن کاملMarket Entry and Trade Weighted Import Costs
Trade costs have fallen surprisingly little given the large increase in international trade in the last 50 years. This paper examines whether trade costs are properly measured. I show theoretically that trade weighted measures will underestimate the changes in trade costs when there are fixed market entry costs and quality differences. Newly traded goods enter at higher trade costs than previou...
متن کاملSoftware System for Interactive Simulation of Interregional Trade
The paper describes a mathematical model of trade flows in a transport network. Based on the model the software package is implemented as a cloud service on heterogeneous computing architectures: simulation module is realized on a high-performance server platform, control and visualization modules are produced with the IACPaaS cloud platform. Communication between the platforms is established v...
