Seminars

Paris trade seminar

The Paris trade seminar is a common seminar to the Paris School of Economics, INRAE, Sciences Po and of the University Paris 1.

The seminar takes place every two weeks on Tuesday afternoon, rotating by semesters between the two PSE campuses and Sciences Po. From September to December, the seminar’s venue is Sciences Po, 28 rue des Saints-Pères, 75007 Paris (M° Saint Germain des Prés) between 2.45pm to 4.15pm. From February to June, the seminar will move to PSE, 48 boulevard Jourdan, 75014 Paris (M° Porte d’Orléans) and take place between 2.30pm and 4pm.

The seminar presents recent works by French and foreign scholars about International trade and its frontiers with other fields. The seminar has become a major meeting point for trade economists in Paris. Consequently it is scheduled to have informal discussions between participants and the speaker before and after the seminar.

This seminar is organised by Mathieu Parenti.
Operational contact: Laurence Vincent (laurence.vincent at ens.psl.eu)

This seminar is supported by PSE, INRAE, Sciences Po and University Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne. This seminar is co-funded by a French government subsidy managed by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche under the framework of the Investissements d’avenir programme reference ANR-17-EURE-0001. It is also supported by the Globalization Chair.

BLANCHARD Emily (Dartmouth) : Justice for Sale: Explaining the Rise in Investor-State Dispute Settlement
Monika Sztajerowska (PSE and IMF)
Abstract
We build a novel database linking the universe of investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) cases with detailed financial, ownership, and operating data for the foreign investors ini- tiating these disputes, from 2000-2020. We document a sharp and sustained increase in the number of ISDS cases that is not explained by changes in the scope of international investment treaties or the expansion of multinational firms’ global operations. This in- crease in case initiation corresponds instead to a fundamental change in the composition of ISDS-suing firms, with significantly more small and credit-constrained firms pursuing litigation against sovereign states after the mid 2000s. Guided by theory, and augmenting our database with hand-collected information on case(-investor) specific choice of litigation technology, we find evidence that the advent and expansion of third-party funding (TPF) can explain a significant share of the observed increase in ISDS cases over the past two decades. Further analysis suggests that third party funding may also increase firms’ odds of winning, which could induce additional disputes in the years to come.

JUHASZ Reka (UBC) : The Who, What, When, and How of Industrial Policy: A Text-Based Approach
Nathan Lane, Emily Oehlsen and Verónica C. Pérez
Abstract
Since the 18th century, policymakers have debated the merits of industrial policy (IP). Yet, economists lack basic facts about its use. This study sheds light on industrial policy by measuring and studying global policy practice for the first time. We first create an automated classification algorithm for categorizing industrial policy practice from text. We then apply it to a global database of commercial policy descriptions and quantify policy use at the country, industry, and year levels (2009-2020). These data allow us to study fundamental policy patterns across the world. We highlight four findings. First, IP is common (25% of policies in our database) and has expanded since 2010. Second, instead of blunt tariffs, IP is granular and technocratic. Countries tend to use subsidies and export promotion measures, often targeted at individual firms. Third, the countries engaged most in IP tend to be wealthier (top income quintile) liberal democracies. In our data, IP is rarer among the poorest nations (bottom quintile). Fourth, IP is targeted toward a subset of industries and is highly correlated with an industry’s revealed comparative advantage. We show that industrial policy is a prominent feature of the global economy and a far cry from industrial policies of the past.

GUIGUE Etienne (ENSAE) : Markups and Markdowns in the French Dairy Market
Rémi Avignon
Abstract
Separately measuring firm buyer and seller power is important for policy-making, but chal- lenging. In this paper, we suggest a new methodology to do so and apply it to French dairy processors. These firms exert buyer power when purchasing raw milk, and seller power when marketing dairy products. The analysis is based on plant-level data on dairy firms, with obser- vations on prices and quantities of raw-milk input by origin and output by product from 2003 to 2018. We rely on a production function approach to estimate total margins. The existence of a commodity, (i) substitutable as an input or as an output, and (ii) exchanged on global markets where firms are price-takers, allows us to separately estimate firm-origin markdowns and firm-product markups. We show this methodology can also be useful in other contexts, with more limited data. Markdown estimates imply that dairy firms on average purchase raw milk at a price 16% below its marginal contribution to their profits, while markup estimates indicate that firms sell dairy products at a price exceeding their marginal costs by 41%. Our re- sults show substantial variations in buyer and seller power exploitation across firms, products, and time. We analyze how shocks to local farmer costs and international commodity prices pass through the supply chain. Processors partially absorb such shocks by adjusting markups and markdowns, thus smoothing variations in farmer revenues. It further implies that 65% of subsidies are currently diverted from farmers due to processor buyer power. A price floor on raw milk could be an alternative welfare-improving policy.

MAGLI Martina (LMU) : Should we stay or should we go? Firms' adjustment to trade shocks
Holger Breilnich
Abstract
Services account for one-third of global trade, yet little is known about the impact of trade restrictions on services trade. To make progress in this area, it is crucial to understand through which Modes services are traded (cross-border, movement of people, foreign investment or consumption abroad) and how firms substitute among these Modes. We provide novel micro-level evidence on firms' Mode choices, combining detailed data on UK firms' trade and affiliates' sales. We also estimate the substitution between trade Modes using Brexit as an exogenous shock, finding that UK firms increasingly relied on local affiliate sales to serve the EU market after 2016. This shift protected firm-level services exports from expected higher trade barriers after Brexit, but at the cost of lower domestic employment.

CONCONI Paola (Oxford) : A Political Disconnect? Evidence From Votes on EU Trade Agreements?
Florin Cucu, Federico Gallina, and Mattia Nardotto
Abstract
It has been argued that public engagement in democracies has declined in the last decades due to a growing disconnect between citizens and their representatives. The European Union is a case in point, if not the most prominent example of an institution seen as suffering from a “democratic deficit”. Even the directly elected members of the European Parliament (MEPs) are often accused of being disconnected from the interests of European citizens. However, little is actually known about whether European legislators respond to their voters’ interests when making critical policy choices. We address this question by studying the determinants of MEPs’ votes on the approval of EU trade agreements. Against widespread Eurosceptic arguments, we find that these votes reflect the trade policy interests of MEPs’ constituencies. The results are robust to controlling for a rich set of variables and fixed effects to account for potential confounding factors, and using different sets of votes and econometric methodologies. An instrumental variable approach supports a causal interpretation of our findings.

RAUCH Ferdinand (Heidelberg) : Identifying Agglomeration Shadows: Long-run Evidence from Ancient Ports
R. Hornbeck and G. Michaels
Abstract
We examine "agglomeration shadows" that emerge around large cities, which discourage some economic activities in nearby areas. Identifying agglomeration shadows is complicated by endogenous city formation, however, and a "wave interference" that we show in simulations. We use the locations of ancient Mediterranean ports, which seeded modern cities, to estimate shadows cast on nearby areas. These patterns extend to modern city locations, more generally, and illustrate how encouraging growth in particular places can discourage growth of nearby areas.

DHINGRA Swati (LSE) : Citizen Training and the Urban Waste Footprint
Fjolla Kondirolli and Stephen Machin
Abstract
Waste management is key to the Sustainable Development Goal of making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. Untreated waste contributes to methane emissions, groundwater pollution, marine litter and public health and safety hazards, and is a growing problem in cities in developing countries. Segregation of waste at the source of generation has been proposed as a low-cost solution for reducing the amount of waste that needs to be landfilled. This paper examines the potential of segregation and recycling at source in improving waste management in the city of Patna in India. Citizen training in circular economy principles of segregation at source and reduction, reuse and recycling of waste was implemented. The intervention was staggered over time to clusters of urban residences on routes covered by municipal waste trucks, in collaboration with the city administration. Waste observations were undertaken to examine the impacts of the training programme on waste practices. Segregation rates increased substantially among households that received the intervention, based on pre-post differences and staggered difference-in-differences estimates. The findings suggest that decentralised waste management can provide a low-cost solution for developing countries to reduce their waste footprint.

DEMIR PAKEL Banu (Oxford) : Plastic Turkey: International Leakages of China's Waste Contamination Policy
Deniz Atalar and Swati Dhingra
Abstract
Global trade in plastic waste has increased by over 700 percent since the 1990s. Exports of plastic waste have flowed primarily from developed economies to emerging markets, raising concerns over the environmental and public health consequences of less stringent regulations in importing countries. Following domestic concerns, China tightened restrictions on contamination levels of plastic waste imports in 2017. Being the world's major importer of plastic waste, China's policy led to a dramatic diversion of trade. This paper shows that Turkey emerged as a major importer of plastic waste from more advanced economies. Importers in Turkey got access to cheaper foreign plastic waste and reduced their domestic purchases. Using a unique dataset on waste disposal by domestic firms, we show that firms in Turkey that generated plastic waste became more likely to mismanage it, including through burning or dumping in water bodies. Emissions from waste management increased in Turkish regions that were more specialised in production of the waste products banned by China. We model this channel of environmental degradation in a gravity model of trade and the environment to quantify the global spillovers of environmental externalities through trade and to examine the welfare impacts of the policy.

TIAN Lin (INSEAD) : Field of Study, Career Choice, and Globalization
Valerie Smeets and Sharon Traiberman
Abstract
This paper highlights the importance of modeling students' field of study choices in understanding the labor market consequences of globalization shocks. We develop a dynamic general equilibrium framework that incorporates both a labor market where workers of different fields of study supply heterogeneous skills and an education technology that allows for students to choose their skills in anticipation of future skill demands. Leveraging the uniquely rich Danish administrative data and their colleague application system, we develop a new methodology to estimate students' field preferences, together with key labor market parameters. Our preliminary results indicate that accounting for field choices increases the switching elasticity with respect to wage shocks by over threefold.

BOLER Esther Ann (Imperial AC) : Strapped for cash: the role of financial constraints for innovating firms
Andreas Moxnes and Karen Helene Ulltveit-Moe
Abstract
This paper makes use of a reform that allowed firms to use patents as stand-alone collateral, to estimate the magnitude of collateral constraints and to quantify the aggregate impact of these constraints on misallocation and productivity. Using detailed firm- and matched firm-bank data for Norway, we find that bank borrowing increased for firms affected by the reform relative to the control group. We also find an increase in the capital stock, employment and innovation as well as equity funding. We interpret the results through the lens of a model of monopolistic competition with potentially collateral constrained heterogeneous firms. Parameterizing the model using well-identified moments from the reduced form exercise, we find quantitatively large gains in output per worker in the sectors in the economy dominated by constrained (and intangible-intensive) firms. The gains are primarily driven by capital deepening, whereas within-industry misallocation plays a smaller role.

TASCHEREAU-DUMOUCHEL Mathieu (Cornell) : Endogenous Production Networks under Supply Chain Uncertainty
Alexandr Kopytov, Bineet Mishra and Kristoffer Nimark
Abstract
Supply chain disturbances can lead to substantial increases in production costs. To mitigate these risks, firms may take steps to reduce their reliance on volatile suppliers. We construct a model of endogenous network formation to investigate how these decisions affect the structure of the production network and the level and volatility of macroeconomic aggregates. When uncertainty increases in the model, producers prefer to purchase from more stable suppliers, even though they might sell at higher prices. The resulting reorganization of the network leads to less macroeconomic volatility, but at the cost of a decline in aggregate output. The model also predicts that more productive and stable firms have higher Domar weights—a measure of their importance as suppliers—in the equilibrium network. We calibrate the model to U.S. data and find that the mechanism can account for a sizable decline in expected GDP during periods of high uncertainty like the Great Recession.

EGGER Peter (ETHZ) : How Uncertainty shapes the Spatial Economy
Katharina Erhardt, Davide Suverato
Abstract
We develop a dynamic general equilibrium trade model in which the economy is a collection of spatially separated competitive markets and agents (workers/consumers) choose optimally where to locate and seeking for a job. Agents are heterogeneous based on (i) their pre-determined choice of a region, sector and occupation and, also, on (ii) a non-insurable risk of aging, that implies a lower option value when changing region and job characteristics. By solving for the resulting dynamic spatial quantitative model with labor mobility under uncertainty we show that rational households behave differently compared to a setting with perfect foresight (e.g. Caliendo et al., 2019). In particular, adjustment to shocks slows down, with more people being stuck in poorer regions and higher inequality across regions and sectors in the long run. Furthermore, greater volatility in the productivity of a job (holding constant the mean) results in a strong decline in the attractiveness of those jobs. Using detailed administrative French data, we quantify the productivity-loss-equivalent of a rise in uncertainty and we document that the impact on the individual lifetime welfare of an increase in uncertainty is comparable to the one of a medium-large negative productivity shock.

NAGY David (CREI - UPF) : The Death and Life of Great British Cities
S. Heblich, A. Trew and Y. Zylberberg
Abstract
This paper studies how cities’ industrial structure shapes their life and death. Our analysis exploits the large heterogeneity in the early composition of English and Welsh cities. We extract built-up clusters from early historical maps, identify settlements at the onset of the nineteenth century, and isolate exogenous variation in the nature of their rise during the transformation of the economy by the end of the nineteenth century. We then estimate the causal impact of cities’ population and industrial specialization on their later dynamics. We find that cities specializ- ing in a small number of industries decline in the long run. We develop a dynamic spatial model of cities to isolate the forces which govern their life and death. Intratemporally, the model captures the role of amenities, land, local productivity and trade in explaining the distribution of economic activity across industries and cities. Intertemporally, the model can disentangle the role of aggregate industry dynamics from city-specific externalities. We find that the long-run dynamics of English and Welsh cities is explained to a large extent by such dynamic externalities à la Jacobs.

MORROW John (Kings College London) : Firms in Product Space: Adoption, Growth, and Competition
Luca Macedoni and Vlad Tyazhelnikov
Abstract
Which products are produced together or potentially produced? Can any firm eventually supply any new demand? Standard product classifications contain answers to these questions by representing an inherent product space firms operate in, but in practice they represent multiple organizational relationships. Taking a production based approach using multi-product production patterns within and across firms, we recover a continuous cost based distance between pairs of products and firms. Product distance implies a product adoption path, with each rank of product distance decreasing adoption frequency by .7 percent relative to base and the 5 percent of closest products explain 14 per cent of adoptions. When export demand for unproduced products induces domestic adoption, closer firms supply them. Having a nearby product increases sales and scope growth, as does being further away from the average firm. Having a nearby firm increases focus on core products and the likelihood of merging.

SFORZA Alessandro (U. Bologna) : Credit shocks and firms’ organization
E. Acabbi
Abstract
What happens to firms' organizational structure when they are hit by a negative credit shock? By matching employer-employee data with firm loans and bank balance sheets, we study firms' reactions to a credit shock–the global financial crisis—using a combination of event study design and instrumental variable. We evaluate the impact of a credit shortage on the organization of labor within the firm: when hit by a credit supply shock, firms reduce employment of team leaders more than lower-skilled production workers, while no adjustment is found at the top of the organizational hierarchy. We show that working capital impacts the re-organization of the firms' labor structure via the financing of machines: firms that invested in machines before the financial crisis are more exposed to the credit shock and re-organize by reducing employment of workers that are complementary with machines. The results provide novel evidence of heterogenous complementarities between working capital and skills along the hierarchy of the firm.

ZAGO Angelo (U. Verona) : Quality, Collective Reputation and International Trade in Wines
P. Bontems, D. Lubian
Abstract
We introduce a model of heterogenous firms with endogenous product quality and collective reputation and develop an empirical strategy to test the models’ predictions. We find that our model better matches the data at hand, based on wine production and export data at firm level. In Melitz (Ecmtca, 2003), most productive firms can serve foreign markets. If quality is endogenous, however, things may differ. We extend this literature with a model in which quality is endogenous and considering collective reputation, as is the case of many manufacturing sectors of developed countries, e.g., Swiss Made watches, German cars, French wine, etc. Crozet et al. (RES, 2012) propose a quality-sorting version of Melitz (2003) and test it with firm level data. They propose (probably) the first empirical attempt to test the quality interpretation of Melitz (2003), combining firm-level data that directly measures quality (from Juhlin, a Champagne Wines guidebook) and trade (from export data) for Champagne makers. Building on Melitz & Ottaviano (RES, 2008) and Antoniades (JIE, 2015), we start from a monopolistic competition model, in which firms are heterogenous in innate quality. In addition, firms can improve quality by exerting quality development effort; moreover, production exhibits constant returns to scale, with marginal cost increasing in innate quality and final quality. On the other hand, demand is influenced by perceived quality, expressed as a weighted average of true firm quality (individual reputation) and average quality in the market, i.e., “collective reputation”, in the sense of Fleckinger (wp, 2007). In the theoretical analysis we show, among other things, that the exported quality and the range of exporting firms depend on the degree of expertise of the destination market’s consumers, that is their ability to distinguish individual vs. collective reputations. Using micro-data at the firm’s level, we test whether quality, collective reputation (CR) and consumer expertise in the destination countries have an effect on the extensive and intensive margins of trade. We construct a set of quality indicators based on the major wine guides associated to firms. We use data on wine firms located in the Verona province, an interesting setting per se, since it has both red and white wines. In addition, for red wines in particular, it has experienced a significant increase in worldwide reputation (especially for Amarone wines) and demand. To obtain a proxy of consumer expertise in each destination market, we use Google searches in different countries by retrieving data from Google Trends. Therefore, we estimate an otherwise ‘standard’ gravity equation where - among other explanatory variables such as distance, GDP, population, etc. - we have proxies for collective reputation, quality and the degree of consumers’ expertise in the destination markets. Using cross-sectional data, we find that quality, collective reputation and consumer expertise are indeed important in making exporting more likely (extensive margins), in exporting different products, and (to some extent) also in exporting more (intensive margins). Overall, we fail to reject the null hypothesis that the degree of expertise in destination markets do not have an effect on the firms that export and the product they do export. This seems to suggest that the endogenous quality model we propose better fits the data at hand.

SANTAMARIA Marta (U. Warwick) : CANCELLED - Understanding Home Bias in Procurement: Evidence from National and Subnational Governments
Manuel García-Santana (World Bank)
Abstract
Are governments locally biased when buying goods and services from private firms? And if so, to what extent can this home bias explain the lack of integration in procurement markets across regions and countries? Using more than one million public procurement contracts awarded by 30,000 government agencies in French and Spanish regions, we explore the hypothesis that a government’s home bias depends on the geographical level at which the government operates. To test our hypothesis, we classify agencies into national agencies (i.e., the central or federal administration) and subnational agencies (i.e., an individual region or territory within the country). We then identify the relative home bias across governments with a novel identification strategy that relies on observing the same establishment selling the same product to national and subnational governments located in the same destination, controlling for firm and origin-destination characteristics. Our results show that the government’s home bias, especially that of subnational agencies, explains a big part of the high levels of local concentration in government procurement across regions and countries. Our findings point towards significant inefficiencies in the allocation of government procurement expenditure across firms, regions, and countries within the European Union.

GRASSI Basile (Bocconi University - CEPR) : The Hitchhiker's Guide to Markup Estimation
Maarten De Ridder and Giovanni Morzenti
Abstract
How do estimates of firm-level markups that rely on production function estimations depend on common data limitations? With a tractable analytical framework, simulation from a quantitative model, and firm-level administrative production and pricing data, we study biases due to the use of revenue instead of quantity, and due to production function misspecification. Estimates from revenue mismeasure the level of markups, but do contain useful information about true markups. Conversely, misspecified production functions have little effect on the estimated average markup but reduce their information content. Finally, revenue and quantity markups display similar correlations with variables such as profitability and market share in our data.

BOSKER Maarten (Erasmus University Rotterdam) : Desarrollo alternativo: the sensitivity of Colombian coca production to legal commodity price shocks
Sophie de Vries Robbé
Abstract
Colombia is the world's major producer of coca leaves. An important pillar of Colombia's efforts to curb the production of this illicit crop is to induce farmers to substitute coca for a viable legal alternative. In this paper we identify the extent to which farmers respond to variation in the price of five of the most promising legal alternatives when deciding how much coca to plant – coffee, palm oil, cocoa, sugar, and banana. We do this using a rich, spatially very detailed dataset that contains yearly information on the amount of coca grown in each of over 31,000 villages (veredas) in Colombia over the period 2001-2018. For identification, we exploit exogenous variation in legal commodity prices, in combination with detailed information about the soil and climatic suitability of each village for growing the five alternative crops that we consider. We find that farmers in villages more suitable for growing coffee and banana respond to price increases of these particular legal alternatives by planting less coca. We discuss why we find this effect for these two crops only, and not for cocoa, sugar, or palm oil. Moreover, the response to price shocks is strongest in villages with better market access.

Abstract
This paper develops a simple and tractable model of international trade and renewable resource use to facilitate an empirical assessment of international trade's impact on natural resource stocks. We do so by generalizing earlier theoretical work, within a small open economy framework, to derive a simple estimating equation linking changes in resource stocks to country characteristics and trade barriers. An empirical application studying deforestation in Indonesia is presented to provide a proof of principle test for the new method.

Clémence Lenoir (CREST-ENSAE) et Julien Martin (UQAM)
Abstract
We develop and estimate a model of search frictions in international good markets and study its implications for individual and aggregate trade flows. The mdoel introduces random meeting of buyers in an otherwise standard Eaton and Kortum (2002) framework. We show that search frictions impede aggregate exports but have a non-trivial impact on individual firms' trade. A reduction in these frictions increases sellers' exposure to foreign buyers but also reduces their chance to be the lowest cost supplier because of more competition among sellers. We build on this model to structurally estimate search frictions faced by French exporters using a generalized method of moments and firm-to-firm French export data. We document the magnitude of these frictions across sectors and destinations and show that their presence help; i) reconcile the EK framework with heterogeneity in firm-level export behaviours; and ii) quantify the relative role of search frictions and productivity heterogeneity in the selection of firms into export.

Abstract
This paper quantifies the origins of firm size heterogeneity when firms are interconnected in a production network. We document new stylized facts about the universe of buyer-supplier relationships among all firms in Belgium during 2002-2014. These facts motivate a model in which firms buy inputs from upstream suppliers and sell to downstream buyers and final demand. Firms can be large not only because they have high production capability (i.e. productivity or product quality), but also because they interact with more, better and larger buyers and suppliers, and because they are better matched to their buyers and suppliers. The model delivers an exact decomposition of firm size into supply an demand margins with firm, buyer/supplier and match components. We establish three empirical results. First, demand factors explain 81% of firm size heterogeneity, while supply factors only 19%. Second, nearly all the variation on the demand side (99%) is driven by sales to other firms rather than final demand. By contrast, 88% of the variation on the supply side reflects heterogeneity in own production capability and 12% comes from input suppliers. Third, the extensive margin of the production network dominates the intensive margin. Most of the variance in the network demand and network supply components of firm size is determined by the number of customers and suppliers, rather than their size or capability. Second most important is that firms transact more with partners that are simultaneously more capable and better bilateral matches.

BOSKER Maarten (Erasmus University Rotterdam) : Iceberg transport costs in the Frozen Water Trade
Eltjo Buringh
Abstract
Iceberg transport costs are one of the main ingredients of modern trade and economic geography models: transport costs are modelled by assuming that a fraction of the goods shipped "melts in transit''. In this paper, we investigate whether the iceberg assumption applies to the costs of transporting the only good that literally melts in transit: ice. Using detailed information on Boston's worldwide nineteenth-century Frozen Water Trade, we show that iceberg transport costs in practice were a combination of a true ad-valorem (iceberg) cost: melt in transit, and per unit freight and (off)loading costs. The physics of the melt process and the practice of insulating the ice in transit imply an immediate violation of the iceberg assumption: shipping ice is subject to economies scale.

EGGER Peter (ETH Zurich) : The Causal Impact of Common Native Language on International Trade: Evidence from a Spatial Regression Discontinuity Design
Co-author(s) : Andrea Lassmann
Abstract
This paper studies the causal effect of sharing a common native language on international trade. Switzerland is a multilingual country that hosts four official language groups of which three are major (French, German, and Italian). These groups of native language speakers are geographically separated, with the corresponding regions bordering countries which share a majority of speakers of the same native language. All of the three main languages are understood and spoken by most Swiss citizens, especially the ones residing close to internal language borders in Switzerland. This unique setting allows for an assessment of the impact of common native (rather than spoken) language as a cultural aspect of language on trade from within country-pairs. We do so by exploiting the discontinuity in various international bilateral trade outcomes based on Swiss transaction-level data at historical language borders within Switzerland. The effect on various margins of imports is positive and significant. The results suggest that, on average, common native language between regions biases the regional structure of the value of international imports towards them by 18 percentage points and that of the number of import transactions by 20 percentage points. In addition, regions import 102 additional products from a neighboring country sharing a common native language compared to a different native language exporter. This effect is considerably lower than the overall estimate (using aggregate bilateral trade and no regression discontinuity design) of common official language on Swiss international imports in the same sample. The latter subsumes both the effect of common spoken language as a communication factor and of confounding economic and institutional factors and is quantitatively well in line with the common official (spoken or native) language coefficient in many gravity model estimates of international trade.

Co-author(s):Banu Demir (Bilkent University)
Abstract
This study uses a unique dataset to provide the first comprehensive empirical test of the theory of financing terms in international trade. The dataset covers the universe of Turkey’s exports disaggregated by product, destination, and financing terms for the period 2004-2012. The results conform with the main prediction of the theory: the prevalence of exporter-financed exports (relative to importer or bank-financed exports) increases with the institutional quality in the importing country. The data also support a simple theoretical extension predicting that product differentiation reinforces the positive effect of the institutional quality on exporter-financed exports. A one-standard-deviation increase in the importer’s institutional quality is associated with a 14 percent increase in exporter-financed trade for non-differentiated products, and a 21 percent increase for differentiated goods. Finally, the results suggest that importer and bank-financed exports fell relative to exporter-financed exports during the Great Recession, with the gap widening with the severity of the crisis in the destination country.

MELITZ Marc (Harvard University) : Firm Heterogeneity and Aggregate Welfare
Co-auteur: S. Redding (Princeton University)
Abstract
We examine how firm heterogeneity influences aggregate welfare through endogenous firm selection. We consider a homogeneous firm model that is a special case of a heterogeneous firm model with a degenerate productivity distribution. Keeping all structural parameters besides the productivity distribution the same, we show that the two models have different aggregate welfare implications, with larger welfare gains from reductions in trade costs in the heterogeneous firm model. Calibrating parameters to key U.S. aggregate and firm statistics, we find these differences in aggregate welfare to be quantitatively important (up to a few percentage points of GDP). Under the assumption of a Pareto productivity distribution, the two models can be calibrated to the same observed trade share, trade elasticity with respect to variable trade costs, and hence welfare gains from trade (as shown by Arkolakis, Costinot and Rodriguez-Clare, 2012); but this requires assuming different elasticities of substitution between varieties and different fixed and variable trade costs across the two models.

HEMOUS David (INSEAD) : Trade Dynamics with Sector-Specific Human Capital
Co-auteurs: A. Guren, M. Olsen
Abstract
In explicating the dynamics and welfare implications of gradual labor market adjustment to trade, this paper develops a dynamic Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson model with sector-specfic human capital and overlapping generations. Our model is tractable enough to yield sharp analytic results, that complement and clarify an emerging empirical literature on labor market adjustment to trade. Existing generations that have accumulated specfic human capital in one sector can switch sectors when the economy is hit by a trade shock. Yet, we show that the shock actually induces few workers to switch, instead there is a protracted adjustment that operates through the entry of new generations. This results into wages being tied to the sector of employment in the short-run but to the skill type in the long-run. The welfare and policy implications are surprising: relative to a world with general human capital, welfare is improved for the skill group whose type-intensive sector shrinks, and policies intended to aid trade adjustment for a§ected workers may be counterproductive.

FACCHINI Giovanni (Nottingham) : The rhetoric of closed borders: quotas, lax enforcement and illegal migration
Co-auteur : C. Testa
Abstract
Despite restrictive migration policies, large numbers of undocumented migrants reside in many destination countries. If official migration targets are not enforced, why are they devised? To address this puzzle, we develop a political agency model with uncertainty about the supply of migrants, where an elected official can either have preferences congruent with the majority of his electorate, or desire a larger number of migrants. In the latter scenario we show that the incumbent might find it optimal to set a binding migration quota to be re-elected, and strategically relax its enforcement, or choose an ineffective instrument like border control.

RAPOPORT Hillel (Bar Ilan) : Birthplace Diversity and Economic Prosperity
Co-auteurs : A. Alesina, J. Harnossz
Abstract
The diversity of people has economic costs and benefits. Using recent immigration data from 195 countries, we propose an index of diversity based on people’s birthplaces. This new index is decomposed in a “size” (share of foreign born) and a variety (diversity of immigrants) component and is available for 1990 and 2000 and for the overall as well as for the high (workers with college education) and low-skill fractions of the workforce. We show that birthplace diversity is largely uncorrelated with ethnic and linguistic fractionalization and that—unlike fractionalization—it is positively related to economic development even after controlling for education, institutions, ethnic and linguistic fractionalization, trade openness, geography, market size and origin-effects. This positive association appears particularly strong for the diversity of skilled immigrants in richer countries. We make progress towards addressing endogeneity by specifying a gravity model to predict the diversity of immigration based on exogenous bilateral variables. The results are robust across various OLS and 2SLS specifications.

MENDOZA Enrique (University of Maryland) : Macro-prudential Policy in a Fisherian Model of Financial Innovation
Co-author(s): Javier Bianchi & Emine Boz Seminar exceptionally joint with Macroéconomies Seminar
Abstract
The interaction between credit frictions, financial innovation, and a switch from optimistic to pessimistic beliefs played a central role in the 2008 financial crisis. This paper develops a quantitative general equilibrium framework in which this interaction drives the financial amplification mechanism to study the effects of macro-prudential policy. Financial innovation enhances the ability of agents to collateralize assets into debt, but the riskiness of this new regime can only be learned over time. Beliefs about transition probabilities across states with high and low ability to borrow change as agents learn from observed realizations of financial conditions. At the same time, the collateral constraint introduces a pecuniary externality, because agents fail to internalize the effect of their borrowing decisions on asset prices. Quantitative analysis shows that the effectiveness of macro-prudential policy in this environment depends on the government's information set, the tightness of credit constraints and the pace at which optimism surges in the early stages of financial innovation. The policy is least effective when the government is as uninformed as private agents, credit constraints are tight, and optimism builds quickly.

LAI Edwin (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology) : A Model of Trade with Ricardian Comparative Advantage and Intra-sectoral Firm Heterogeneity
Co-auteur(s) : Haichao FAN & and Han (Steffan) QI
Abstract
In this paper, we merge the heterogenous firm model of Melitz (2003) with the Ricardian model of Dornbusch, Fisher and Samuelson (DFS 1977) to explain how the pattern of international specialization and trade is determined by the interaction of comparative advantage, economies of scale, country sizes and trade barriers. The model is able to capture the existence of inter-industry trade and intra-industry trade in a single unified framework. It explains how trade openness affects the pattern of international specialization and trade. It generalizes Melitz’s firm selection effect in the face of trade liberalization to a setting where the patterns of inter-industry trade and intra-industry are endogenous. Although trade openness is proved to be unambiguously welfare-improving in both countries, trade liberalization can lead to an anti- Melitz effect in the larger country if it is sufficiently uncompetitive in the sectors in which it has the strongest comparative disadvantage but in which it still produces. In this case, the operating productivity cutoff is lowered while the exporting cutoff increases in the face of trade liberalization. This is because the DFS effect dominates the Melitz effect in these sectors. Consequently, the larger country can lose from trade liberalization.

MARIN Dalia (Munich) : DO MULTINATIONALS TRANSPLANT THEIR BUSINESS MODEL?
Abstract
ecent literature on international trade has established that the most productive firms become multinationals. But our data reveal a startling variation in productivity levels of subsidiaries across countries of the same parent firms suggesting that not all multinationals transplant their home productivity advantage to other countries. One candidate for this startling difference in productivity levels among subsidiaries is the ability of multinationals to transport their business model abroad. This paper examines the conditions under which multinationals transplant their business culture to other countries. We collect original and unique matched parent and affiliate data on the internal organisation of 660 German and Austrian parent firms and 2200 of their subsidiaries in Eastern Europe. Based on these data we ask two questions: First, what favours decentralization in Foreign Affiliates of Multinationals? Second, what determines whether or not multinationals transplant theirs business model to foreign affiliates? We find that the ability of multinationals to transplant their business model to foreign affiliates is determined by the organisation of the multinational organization on the one hand and the market environment affiliate firms face in host countries on the other hand.

WEINSTEIN David (Columbia) : Exports and Financial Shocks
Abstract
A striking feature of many financial crises is the collapse of exports relative to output. In the 2008 financial crisis, real world exports plunged 17 percent while GDP fell 5 percent. This paper examines whether the drying up of trade finance can help explain the large drops in exports relative to output. This paper is the first to establish a causal link between the health of banks providing trade finance and growth in a firm’s exports relative to its domestic sales. We overcome measurement and endogeneity issues by using a unique data set, covering the Japanese financial crises of the 1990s, which enables us to match exporters with the main bank that provides them with trade finance. Our point estimates are economically and statistically significant, suggesting that trade finance accounts for about one-third of the decline in Japanese exports in the financial crises of the 1990s.

HEAD K. (Univ. of British Columbia) : The erosion of colonial trade linkages after independence
Co-auteur (s) : T. Mayer et J. Ries
Abstract
High trade between countries with colonial ties may be explained by government policies that establish preferential access or as a consequence of networks formed through social interactions. Using bilateral trade data from 1948 to 2003, we examine the effect of independence on post-colonial trade. The severing of formal colonial relations can lead to an immediate reduction in trade as preferential access is eliminated as well as a gradual reduction corresponding to the deterioration of trading networks. Our results reveal that independence reduces colonial trade with its colonizer (metropole), the reduction cumulates over a 30-year period, and the disruption is particularly severe for hostile separations. We also find that overall colonial trade falls subsequent to independence, but to a lesser extent than trade with the metropole.

Co-auteur (s) : C. Eckel
Abstract
We present a new model of multi-product firms (MPFs) and flexible manufacturing and explore its implications in partial and general equilibrium. International trade integration affects the scale and scope of MPFs through a competition effect and a demand effect. We demonstrate how MPFs adjust in the presence of single-product firms and in heterogeneous industries. Our results are in line with recent empirical evidence and suggest that MPFs in conjunction with flexible manufacturing play an important role in the impact of international trade on product diversity.

MARKUSEN J. R. (Univ. of Colorado) : Foreign firms, domestic wages
Co-auteur (s) : N. Malchow-Moller et B. Schjerning
Abstract
Foreign-owned firms are often hypothesized to generate productivity “spillovers” to the host country, but both theoretical micro-foundations and empirical evidence for this are limited. We develop a heterogeneous-firm model in which ex-ante identical workers learn from their employers in proportion to the firm’s productivity. Foreign-owned firms have, on average, higher productivity in equilibrium due to entry costs, which means that low-productivity foreign firms cannot enter. Foreign firms have higher wage growth and, with some exceptions, pay higher average wages, but not when compared to similarly large domestic firms. The empirical implications of the model are tested on matched employer-employee data from Denmark. Consistent with the theory, we find considerable evidence of higher wages and wage growth in large and/or foreign-owned firms. These effects survive controlling for individual characteristics, but, as expected, are reduced significantly when controlling for unobservable firm heterogeneity. Furthermore, acquired skills in foreign-owned and large firms appear to be transferable to both subsequent wage work and self-employment.

BERNHOFEN D. M. (Univ. of Nottingham) : Predicting the factor content of trade: Theory and evidence
Abstract
This paper examines the multi-cone specification of the factor proportion theory of international trade. I show that Helpman’s (1984, Economic Journal) bilateral restrictions on the factor of content of trade, which have found recent empirical support by Choi and Krishna (2004, Journal of Political Ecnomy), need to be amended to account for multilateralism. I identify additional restrictions and show that these restrictions form the building block for a multi-lateral specification which extends Alan Deardorff’s (1979, Journal of International Economics) two-country, two-factor, multiple goods chain of comparative advantage prediction to multiple countries and factors. Applying Choi and Krishna’s data set to the multi-lateral specification, I find little empirical support for the prediction of the model.

IMBS J. (HEC) : Risk sharing, finance and institutions in international portfolios
Co-auteur (s) : M. Fratzscher
Abstract
The paper shows that consumption risk sharing is prevalent even among economies with poor institutions, in particular those with serious expropriation risk, limited enforce- ability of contracts, high corruption and poor property rights. If institutions are poor, however, the country must be open to international markets for risk sharing to be possi- ble. We argue this re‡ects the fact that expropriation and other taxes imposed on foreign capital are particularly costly in open economies, where dynamic retaliation is possible. Thus, even if institutions are such that contract repudiation or con…scation are possible de jure, borrowing economies that are open will rarely practice them de facto. Foreign investors anticipate this, and act to diversify risk. By contrast, the remaining capital ‡ows headed for closed economies with poor institutions are designed and constrained so as to limit the cost incurred in case of expropriation. Diversi…cation motives may still be present, but they take second stage. We con…rm this conjecture showing that all classes of assets, but especially FDI display a strong non-linear relation with the institutional environment. Institutions are crucial in attracting capital for closed economies, but are barely relevant in open ones.

HIJZEN A. (OCDE) : The Effects at Home of Initiating Production Abroad: Evidence from Matched French Firms
Co-auteur : S. Jean, T. Mayer
Abstract
In the present paper we attempt to estimate the effects of initiating production abroad through the establishment of a foreign production affiliate. We consider the impact of becoming a multinational on the level of employment, the degree of skill-intensity and productivity performance using data for French firms during the period 1987-1999. In order to solve the problem of the missing counterfactual we adopt matching techniques in combination with a difference-in-difference (DID) estimator. The paper contains two main novelties. First, we separately analyse the effects of becoming a multinational for manufacturing and services firms. Second, we analyse the causal effect of becoming multinational whilst differentiating between horizontal, vertical or complex investment strategies on the basis of the location of investment and the industry affiliation of the investing firm. Our main findings suggest that differentiating between different investment strategies is crucial if one wants to grasp the effects of outward investment in the home country. Manufacturing firms that make market-seeking investments typically see their employment rise by 25% after three years relative to their counterfactual outcome. For manufacturing firms that make factor-seeking investments, on the other hand, the picture is more complex. The visual representation of the results suggests that firms that invest in low income locations experience an immediate drop in employment at the time of investment followed by a larger positive effect after two years. However, these findings are not statistically significant. The results for services are more tentative, but overall similar to those for manufacturing.
