a r t i c l e i n f o As increasingly complex modelling approaches to quantifying embodied carbon in trade have become popular, the lack of disaggregation has been identified as a key weakness. This paper quantifies embodied carbon in bilateral trade at the product level. This is done using the material balance approach, by collecting product carbon intensity factors from multiple data sources ...

In standard quantitative models, bilateral trade imbalances are determined by aggregate imbalances, expenditure and production patterns, wedges. We calibrate such a model using recent data on incomes, factor endowments, sector-level expenditures, outputs flows for 40 economies the rest of world. Large pairwise asymmetries in wedges needed model’s bilateral-trade predictions to match data. They ...

a r t i c l e i n f o The literature measuring the effects of WTO membership on trade flows has produced remarkably diverse results. Rose (2004) reports a wide range of empirical specifications that produce no WTO effects. Tomz et al. (2007) use Rose's data but include de facto WTO membership, to find positive WTO trade effects. Rose (2005) also produced positive WTO trade effects after account...

On the Bilateral Trade Effects of Free Trade Agreements between the EU-15 and the CEEC-4 Countries The expansion of regionalism has spawned an extensive theoretical literature analysing the effects of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) on trade flows.

We identify and quantify the effect of food tastes on international trade flows. Based a novel data set including all ingredients in national dishes 171 countries, we construct measure for similarity between countries. bilateral flows by exploiting that migrants’ differ from their host country. Our results show migration decreases more similar are migrant’s country origin her Thus, can do matte...
