Marcelo OLARREAGA (University of Geneva - CEPR) : Cooperation in WTO's Tariff Waters
Co-author(s) : Alessandro Nicita (UNCTAD) and Peri Silva (Kansas State University, Centro Studi Luca d'Agliano)
full text [pdf]
Abstract
Many members of the World Trade Organization apply tariffs well below the negotiated tariff bounds. In principle, there are no legal constraints that prevent importing countries to set these tariffs close to optimal levels to exploit their market power. We found that this non-cooperative tariffs setting is observed only in the presence of substantial tariff water. Indeed, if the difference between applied and bound tariffs is below 20 percent, applied tariffs of WTO members cannot be explained by their market power, suggesting that cooperation in the WTO goes beyond observed tariff bounds. Cooperation within WTO tariff waters can be explained by the fear of retaliation from trading partners, in particular when these have considerable market power and tariff water in their schedules.

Florian LE BRIS (Paris School of Economics) : Linking Firms' Intermediate Inputs and Export Performances
Co-author(s) : Anne-Célia Disdier (Paris School of Economics) and Mélise Jaud (World Bank)
Abstract
While intermediate inputs largely dominate today's global exchanges as production processes get "sliced" internationally, there is only little understanding on their contribution to firms'export performances. This paper establishes the direct connection between imports of intermediate inputs and export outcomes, using deta iled firm-level trade data for Morocco between 2002 and 2011. We investigate whether imported intermediate inputs promote firm exports at all margins of trade. We find robust evidence that Moroccan exporters perform better when they source inputs from abroad rather than domestically. Furthermore, greater amount, diversity and quality of imported inputs contribute significantly to raise the value, scope and quality of exported varieties. Estimated effects are always stronger for inputs sourced in OECD countries, whose technological content is arguably higher. These results suggest that, by spreading technology and new varieties, the outsourcing of inputs may strongly promote countries’ participation in export competition and patterns of quality upgrading.

Thannaletchimy THANAGOPAL (Université Paris 1) : Price versus Quality War : a Case Study of France and Germany
full text [pdf]
Abstract
Incorporating the new trade and the endogenous growth theories, this paper compares the competitiveness of France and Germany in terms of prices and quality differences. Using the unitary cost of labor as an original proxy for price differences and knowledge innovation (made up of patents and R&D expenditures) as another original proxy for quality, our paper attempts to explain the exporting structure of these two countries as well as determine their import structure under the structure of disaggregated bilateral trade over 15 sectors. We find that knowledge innovation that improves product quality contributes positively and significantly to a country's trade perfromance and that this continual investment in innovation can encourage a country to gain an upper hand over one's competitor (as in the case of France and Germany).

Ramezan Ali MARVI (Bocconi) : Global Value Chains as Networks of Queues and the Great Trade Collapse
Co-auteur : Carlo Altomonte
Abstract
This paper develops a model to capture the suddenness of the recent trade collapse. We take into account the "time costs" of the headquarter besides the well-known elements of its cost function. The headquarter faces three possible ways to procure the intermediate input: vertical FDI, outsourcing and market-based procuring. Using queueing theory, we derive the "time costs" for these organizational structures. Incorporating these costs in the problem of the headquarter helps us to explain the mechanisms under which a sudden trade collapse will occur. It also helps us to address the motivation for the existence of north-north vertical FDI. Simulating the model reveals that it has the capability of generating the main qualitative features of the data on US monthly trade

Mélise JAUD (World Bank) : Regime Change, Democracy and Growth
Co-auteur : Carolina Freund
full text [pdf]
Abstract
Theory and empirics are ambiguous on the eect of democracy on growth. Cross- country studies nd that democracy has no signicant impact on growth. In contrast, within-country studies nd a strong positive eect of transition to democracy. We reconcile this inconsistency by showing that the positive eect of political transition is a result of swift regime change and not democratization. We identify and examine 90 successful, failed, and gradual transitions that have occurred over the last half century. This new classication permits us to compare successful episodes of democratization with unsuccessful ones { as opposed to with the counterfactual of no transition. Wend that both successful and failed transitions boost long-run growth by about one percentage point, but gradual change is quite costly in economic terms. The results imply that the growth dividend from political transition is a result of regime change and not democratization, and also oer new evidence on the importance of the speed of transition for economic growth. The results are robust to a number of alternative specications, to stricter and more lenient denitions of democratic transition, and to including reverse transitions.

Emmanuel Milet (Paris1) : "White-collars blues? The impact of services trade on wages and occupations"
Abstract
This paper focuses on a virtually unexplored empirical phenomenon: round-tripping of Russian capital via offshore financial centers to Russia as foreign investment. In this study, utilizing a unique firm-level dataset, we empirically test potential differences in investment behavior between round-trip and genuine foreign investors. Our main results can be summarized as follows. For medium and large firms (by capital size at registration date) we find rather convincing evidence that round-trip investments locate in Russian regions with higher resource potential and higher levels of corruption than genuine foreign investments. However, the result for corruption is opposite for small firms, i.e. genuine foreign investors establish more small firms in corrupt Russian regions than round-trip investors. This might indicate that in corrupt Russian regions foreign investors try to minimize their risks associated with regional corruption by establishing small and micro firms. Furthermore, small firms might be used for adoption of business ideas in unstable and corrupt business environment.

Guillaume DAUDIN (Sciences Po) : Heterogeneity and the Distance Puzzle
Co-Auteur : Elizaveta Archanskaia
Abstract
This paper shows that reduced heterogeneity of exporter-speci?c goods provides a di- rect explanation of the distance puzzle. Theoretical foundations of the gravity equation indicate that the distance coef?cient is the product of the elasticity of trade costs to distance and a measure of heterogeneity, i.e. the substitution elasticity in the Armington framework. The Armington elasticity has increased by 13% from 1963 to 2009 while the distance elas- ticity of trade has increased by just 7%. The evolution of the distance coef?cient is thus compatible with a 5-7% reduction in the elasticity of trade costs to distance.
