Discovering Preferential Patterns in Sectoral Trade Networks
We analyze the patterns of import/export bilateral relations, with the aim of assessing the relevance and shape of "preferentiality" in countries' trade decisions. Preferentiality here is defined as the tendency to concentrate trade on one or few partners. With this purpose, we adopt a systemic approach through the use of the tools of complex network analysis. In particular, we apply a pattern ...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Sectoral Productivity: Measurement and Implications∗
We estimate total factor productivities at the sector level for 72 countries and 5 decades, and examine how they evolve over time in both developed and developing countries. In both country groups, there has been relative productivity convergence: productivity grew systematically faster in sectors that were initially relatively less productive. These changes have had a significant impact on tra...
متن کاملTrade costs , firms and productivity $
This paper examines the response of U.S. manufacturing industries and plants to changes in trade costs using a unique new dataset on industry-level tariff and transportation rates. Our results lend support to recent heterogeneous-firm models of international trade that predict a reallocation of economic activity towards high-productivity firms as trade costs fall. We find that industries experi...
متن کاملFirm Innovation, Productivity, and Trade
Firm innovation effort, productivity, and export propensity are found to be positively correlated with one another. Two alternative explanations have been offered for this — innovation increases productivity and more productive firms self-select into exporting or, alternatively, exporting increases learning and innovation, which in turn affects productivity. We use differences in timing implied...
متن کاملMarket Size, Trade, and Productivity
We develop a monopolistically competitive model of trade with firm heterogeneity in terms of productivity differences and endogenous differences in the 'toughness' of competition across markets in terms of the number and average productivity of competing firms. We analyze how these features vary across markets of different size that are not perfectly integrated through trade; we then study the ...
