Asymmetric Trade Costs: Agricultural Trade amongDeveloping andDevelopedCountries
In this article, the reasonswhydeveloping countries trade fewer agricultural products than developed countries are analyzed. Based on earlier findings that low trade volume in the agricultural sector is due to high trade costs, the focus is on evaluating the extent to which bilateral trade costs in the agricultural sector differ among trading partners. Using a neo-Ricardian trade model, the res...
متن کاملTrade Costs and Markups∗
We explore the effects of trade costs on markups by building a new model consistent with three stylized facts: exporters charge higher markups, markups increase when starting to export, and domestic and foreign sales are negatively correlated, which suggests decreasing returns. We calibrate the model to Chilean data, and simulate reductions in trade costs. Most markups increase along the intens...
متن کاملTrade Costs and Gravity for Gross and Value Added Trade
Cross-border production fragmentation enables countries to export domestic value added not only directly in the form of gross exports of final goods, but also indirectly by participating in global supply chains. This paper studies the determinants of trade in value added. I incorporate the global input-output structure into an international trade model to derive an approximate gravity equation ...
متن کاملAsymmetric Trade Costs, Trade Imbalances, and the World Income Distribution
Earlier work by Waugh (2010) suggests that asymmetric market access costs across exporting countries are a major reason for differences in real per-capita income around the globe: 25% − 50% (depending on the measure) of world income inequality could be explained by cross-country trade cost asymmetries alone. We show that these results were driven by what we call model under-specification, an il...
متن کاملTrade Costs and the Gains from Trade in Crop Agriculture
We develop a simulation model of world crop markets that is based upon Ricardian comparative advantage. We apply the model to twenty-three countries and provide measures of the degree of globalization in this sector, the gains from trade, and the elasticity of trade volumes to trade costs. The distribution of the gains from trade across countries is uneven due to important differences in openne...
