Web Appendix The Effects of Political Institutions on the Extensive and Intensive Margins of Trade

چکیده
This Web Appendix contains supplemental materials. In Section A1, we investigate timevarying effects of each “gravity” and Polity IV component variable. Consistent with our findings in the main text, we find that economic “gravity” variables have similar effects on both extensive and intensive margins, while political institutions matter differently on the two margins. We also find that political institutions matter more in the extensive margin. This Web Appendix also includes the list of 131 countries used for our analysis along with a detailed description of the parameters used in our empirical analysis.

متن کاملShort-Term and Long-Term Margins of International Trade: Evidence from the Canada-Chile Free Trade
We investigate the impact of the Canada-Chile Free Trade Agreement (CCFTA) on Canadian exports to Chile, particularly the dynamic effects of the agreement on extensive and intensive margins of trade. Consistent with the literature, we find that the extensive margin effects occurred later than the intensive margin effects and became more prominent in the long-term. Surprisingly, the intensive ma...
