  COTTERLAZ-CARRAZ Pierre (CEPII & Sciences Po (Department of Economics)) : Information in the First Globalization: News Agencies and Trade

  Etienne Fize (Science Po & CAE)

  Abstract

  This paper documents the effect of information frictions on trade using a historical large-scale improvement in the transmission of news: the emergence of global news agencies. The information available to potential traders became more abundant, was delivered faster and at a cheaper price between countries covered by a news agency. By exploiting differences in the timing of telegraph openings and news agency coverage across pairs of countries, we are able to disentangle the pure effect of information from the effect of a reduction in communication costs. Panel gravity estimates reveal that bilateral trade increased by 30 % more for pairs of countries covered by a news agency and connected by a telegraph than for pairs of countries simply connected by a telegraph.

  MARSHALIAN Michelle (DIAL, Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne, Dauphine) : Trade, Tariffs and Missing Imports: Using trade liberalization to understand business-state relations in Egypt

  Abstract

  Over the past half a century, Egypt developed from a statist economy, with strong business-state relations, to a more liberal open-market economy as it slowly began opening up to international markets. Its entry into international markets came alongside several exogenous changes to trade policy. Exploiting a change in trade reform policies that aligned administrative, tariff and non-tariff barriers to international standards, I use a differences-in-differences method to measure the impact of trade liberalization reforms on import values, between industries where connected firms are known to exist, and those were no known connection exists. The outcomes show that the reduction of trade barriers associated with the reform, improved the inflow of imported goods to non-connected industries more than connected industries, suggesting a corrective impact of administrative simplification on the competitiveness between industries. I tested different explanations for the treatment outcomes and found evidence of tax evasion as an important strategy for firms in connected industries. When checking for heterogeneities by technological complexity of industrial output, the reform benefited non-connected industries more than connected industries, except for in natural resources and medium level manufacturing activities.

  IODICE Irène (Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna - Paris 1 - EMbeDS) : The Sound of Silence. Nontransparent technical requirements as obstacles to trade

  Abstract

  Exporters mostly encounter trade obstacles due to unclear procedures to comply with foreign regulations, while the implementation itself is less of a burden. In this work we investigate the protective nature of newly introduced regulations that are not properly disclosed at the international level. We begin by building a novel database which identifies the process of adoption of those Technical Barriers to Trade (TBTs) that have been contested to the WTO through a Specific Trade Concern (STC). We then cross-reference this database with a firm-level panel of French exporters and we carry out an event study. We find that in more than 1/3 of the studied cases countries have adopted the underlying regulations without previously announcing the change to other members. Only in these cases, the newly introduced regulation hampers the exporting activity of firms by reducing firms’ trade value. This effect is however temporary, ranging from one to two semesters, and it lasts less if the content of the TBT is eventually disclosed by governments. Finally, only those exporters who are relatively new to the destination market are hit by these unexpected changes. This evidence suggests that, by rising procedural obstacles, countries can effectively deploy regulations that hinders imports.

  REVERDY Camille (Paris 1 - PSE) : Estimating the General Equilibrium Effects of Services Trade Liberalization

  Abstract

  The intangible nature of services and the lack of disaggregated trade data enlarge the difficulties involved in assessing impediments to cross-border trade in services. In an attempt to reduce the information gap existing in services trade, this paper estimates the conditional and general equilibrium responses to the liberalization of services trade, using a three step estimation method relying on structural gravity model. Focusing on eight services sectors: construction, land transport, maritime transport, air transport, logistics services, telecommunication services, financial services and professional services, I find that the removal of restrictive policy measures applied by the importing country would lead to welfare gains between $10\%$ and $31\%$. The largest welfare improvements are found for the sector `Air Transport', the most restrictive sector on average, and for the smallest trading countries.

  LEQUIEN Matthieu (Banque de France-PSE-Insee) : The Heterogeneous Impact of Market Size on Innovation: Evidence from French Firm-Level Exports

  Philippe Aghion (College de France-LSE), Antonin Bergeaud (Banque de France-PSE) and Marc Melitz (Harvard)

  Abstract

  We analyze how demand conditions faced by a firm impacts its innovation decisions. To disentangle the direction of causality between innovation and demand conditions, we construct a firm-level export demand shock which responds to aggregate conditions in a firm's export destinations but is exogenous to firm-level decisions. Using exhaustive data covering the French manufacturing sector, we show that French firms respond to exogenous growth shocks in their export destinations by patenting more; and that this response is entirely driven by the subset of initially more productive firms. The patent response arises 3 to 5 years after a demand shock, highlighting the time required to innovate. In contrast, the demand shock raises contemporaneous sales and employment for all firms, without any notable differences between high and low productivity firms. We show that this finding of a skewed innovation response to common demand shocks arises naturally from a model of endogenous innovation and competition with firm heterogeneity. The market size increase drives all firms to innovate more by increasing the innovation rents; yet by inducing more entry and thus more competition, it also discourages innovation by low productivity firms.

  EL MALLAKH Nevine (Paris 1) : The impact of public research institutions on Innovation

  Nevine El-Mallakh (Paris 1), Caroline Paunov (OECD) and Martin Borowiecki (OECD)

  Abstract

  The aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of research institutions on innovation creation in the manufacturing sector. We find evidence on the existence of positive effects of exposure to Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and Public Research Institutes (PRIs) on patenting activities of 36 OECD countries and China for the period 1992-2014. The evidence, which is obtained from a newly compiled database at postal code level, reveals that geographical proximity to universities is associated with more industry patenting, after controlling for differences across postal codes and country-year shocks. The results also hold when exploiting an instrumental variable approach to alleviate possible endogeneity of university location. The latter can be traced back to historical mines and public spending in R&D conducted by research institutions, which would have little direct connection to industry patenting at postal code level. We also explore possible heterogeneity of these effects and our results suggest that universities positively influence the patenting activities of local industry, especially in life and digital technologies.

  VOLPE Christian (Inter-American Development Bank) : Information and Exports: Firm-Level Evidence from an Online Platform

  Abstract

  Lack of information is an important trade barrier. Online platforms connecting firms can reduce this barrier and thereby affect firms’ exports. We examine whether this is the case by focusing on a free online business platform that, by the end of 2016, connected more than 16,000 firms from almost a hundred countries. In particular, we estimate the impact of using the platform on firms’ export outcomes, along both the intensive and extensive margins, exploiting data on firms’ participation in this platform along with customs data from Peru for the period 2010-2016. In so doing, we apply an instrumental variables approach whereby firms’ use of the business platform is instrumented with information on the distribution of emails announcing its launching by Peru’s national trade promotion organization. Consistent with the interpretation of the platform as an information cost-reducing mechanism, our results suggest that its utilization allowed firms to expand their exports by primarily increasing the number of products they sell abroad and enlarging their buyer base.

  LIGONNIERE Samuel (ENS Paris Saclay) : Fisherian Deflation and Debt Maturity

  Abstract

  How does debt maturity structure affect Fisherian deflation? By introducing debt maturity in a Fisherian deflation model, I demonstrate how it could trigger financial crises. Using a stock-flow analysis, I show that long-term debt could alleviate the risk of current binding collateral constraint, but an excessive reliance could generate future binding collateral constraints over long horizons. It is empirically confirmed by a study based on 122 developing countries over the period 1970-2012. I highlight that debt maturity structure is a good early-warning indicator of Fisherian deflation, which provides information that adds up to the level of external debt.

  LEYVA Jaime (Paris 1, PSE) : International Banking Flows, The Global Financial Cycle and Local Developments

  Abstract

  The Global Financial Cycle has received a big attention in the last years. Many works have found a significant and negative mean effect of some Global Financial Cycle proxies such as the VIX in risky asset prices, capital flows and leverage across different countries. This paper tries to assess the importance of the Global Financial Cycle in explaining international banking flows conditioning on the heterogeneous response of local variables to global shocks. We use the correlated part of local stock market volatility with the US stock market volatility to quantify the heterogeneous local response to global high uncertainty periods and then we test the explanatory power of the country-specific response to global shocks in a panel of international banking flows to Small Open Economies. Our results seem to asses that there is an active coordination behaviour of the Global Banking system to more exposed countries under high uncertainty periods, and taking into account the heterogeneous responses in stock markets outperforms the explanatory power of a common Global proxy of volatility. Finally, we develop a Small Open Economy DSGE model in which we analyse the impact of international interest rate shocks under different degrees of financial frictions in the local banking system to explain the heterogeneous response of local economic variables and capital flows under a global shock.

  HERGHELEGIU Cristina (Paris 1, PSE) : Firm adjustment to customs-driven administrative barriers

  Abstract

  This paper analyzes how firms adjust to administrative barriers. Relying on a highly detailed dataset including the universe of Russian transactions over the period 2012-2015, we seek to identify the impact of customs-specific time delays on exports flows. We focus on firm-to-firm trade and show that the time delays induced by customs clearance negatively affect firm-to-firm exports, even after controlling for other potentially confounding factors. We further explore the role of Incoterms used as a tool to delimit the risks between the exporting and importing firms throughout the shipping process. Our results show that export flows are significantly higher when exporters take full control over export clearance.

  PANON Ludovic (Sciences Po) : The Cost of Not Getting Along: Interstate Tensions and International Trade

  Florin Cucu (Sciences Po)

  Abstract

  In this article, we provide evidence of the impact of interstate tensions on international trade. Using a large panel data set on asylum applications in the EU from 2002 to 2015, we develop a novel measure of interstate tensions based on refugee admission rates. Humanitarian conditions in the origin country explain little of the variation in approval rates, asylum policies being often used by governments as a foreign policy tool. Specifically, countries are more likely to accept refugees from rival countries. We then study the impact of this measure on trade flows between the EU and the rest of the world. We find that a one percentage point increase in our asylum policy based measure leads to a drop in trade ranging from 1% to 4%. Taking into account endogeneity concerns, we also exploit the variation in asylum policy across European countries as an instrumental variable and find that a change of 1 percentage point in our measure entails a drop in trade flows of 1% to 4% from one year to the next.

  COTTERLAZ Pierre (Sciences Po) : The Percolation of Knowledge across Space

  Arthur Guillouzouic Le Corff (Sciences Po)

  Abstract

  This paper provides an explanation for the persistent spatial frictions in knowledge diffusion. We argue that the underlying spatially-clustered network of innovators contributes to generating the effect attributed to distance on international knowledge flows. First, we present evidence that knowledge disseminates within a network of firms by delving into their citation behaviour. We find that firms are more likely to cite patents known by their contacts than comparable patents unknown by their contacts. We then incorporate this finding into a dynamic network formation model. The theoretical predictions hold remarkably well in the data: innovator sizes are Pareto distributed, and an increasing relationship exists between the size of an innovator and the distance at which it cites. Combining these two features is sufficient to generate a negative distance elasticity of knowledge flows.

  EL MALLAKH Nevine (Paris 1) : Disentangling channels of FDI spillover: Evidence from India

  Abstract

  Governments spend large amounts of resources in order to attract multinational companies to their country, based on their belief that such companies generate positive spillovers to domestic firms. Although the existence of positive externalities correlated to FDI presence has been proved for the US, concerns on the significance of these effects for developing countries were raised. Also the literature has not provided empirical evidence on the validity of the channels leading to these effects. For these reasons, this paper exploits FDI reforms and Trade liberalization episodes in India in the early 1990’s to disentangle channels of FDI spillover on productivity of domestic firms; namely, the technical know-how and the foreign competition channels. Using firm level data on the period (1989-1997), we are able to identify the two main channels. Results confirm positive technological spillover through imported inputs as well as positive foreign competition. Findings also suggest that these channels are stronger for industries that are relatively more capital intensive and medium sized firms.

  LAENGLE Katharina (Université Paris 1 - PSE) : Global value chains and labor market adjustments

  Abstract

  The question how offshoring affects domestic workers has been subject to empirical studies for decades. Many analyses based their work on traditional trade data as a proxy for offshoring. However, these statistics fall short in depicting intertwinings of supply chains and how foreign production factors enter domestic production. For that reason, this paper quantifies offshoring in terms of value added thus allowing to trace back how much foreign capital and labor enter domestic production. Using data from the WIOD, effects are analyzed for 14 sectors in 16 countries between 1995 and 2008. Regarding low skilled workers, results confirm implications of the model by Grossman & Rossi-Hansberg (2008). Accordingly, offshoring proved to positively influence domestic low skilled workers’ wage shares, when their tasks were moved abroad. Yet, model assumptions and the empirical setup of this paper diverge thus question the mechanisms highlighted by GRH. Importantly, the growing share of foreign capital in production negatively affects low skilled workers' wage share while positively influencing that of high skilled. Consequently, findings suggest that offshoring benefits high skilled workers and harms low skilled.

  KAZAKOVA Ekaterina (Mannheim) : Export Platforms and Multinational Demand Risk Diversification

  Abstract

  This paper analyzes the effects of correlated aggregate demand shocks on multinational firms’ structure. Accordingly, we build a structural model featuring global production and demand risk in which heterogeneously risk averse managers decide on the location of production plants, the set of countries to serve from these plants, and the volume of sales. These decisions hinge on the expected market demand, and the variance-covariance of the demand shocks in destination markets. The identification of firm-specific risk aversion coefficients follows from existence and uniqueness of the firm’s optimal sales portfolio. The empirical analysis uses firm-level data on German multinational companies. Our results support the existence of MNE’s diversification strategies when producing and selling abroad.

  PITON Sophie (PSE) : Economic Integration and the Non-tradable Sector: The European Experience

  Abstract

  Abstract:
  This article shows that not only market integration but also financial and monetary integration can affect the dynamics of the non-tradable sector. And if the non-tradable sector expands relative to the tradable sector, economic integration can lead to a transitory accumulation of current account deficits. Adapting a model of structural change for a small open economy with a tradable and a non-tradable sector, this paper shows that market and financial integration lead to a relative price increase which can result in a relative expansion of the non-tradable sector. Financial integration also fosters a temporary demand boom in peripheral economies, leading to an expansion of the non-tradable sector and an accumulation of current account deficits. Using a novel data set for 16 countries of the Euro area, this article documents the expansion of the non-tradable sector over 1996-2007 in the Euro area periphery --significant even when excluding the housing sector from the sample. This expansion happened simultaneoulsy to (i) faster productivity growth in the tradable sector than in the non-tradable sector (ii) declining long-term nominal interest rates. In Greece, the fall in the interest rate over 1996-2007 explains up to 13% of the expansion of the non-tradable sector, and together with the Balassa-Samuelson (BS) effect, these effects account up to 80% of its variations.

  SANDOZ Charlotte (Banque de France) : Firm Variable Trade Costs, Aggregate Productivity Growth and Misallocation

  Abstract

  Productivity growth is depressed in many developed countries since the end of 2000s. Literature has shown that market frictions reduce aggregate productivity growth by generating resource misallocation. However few studies have introduced traded intermediate inputs in these frameworks. International trade costs considerably decreased in the beginning of 2000s, but only some active firms in the international markets benefit from it. I provide new evidence that traded intermediate inputs generate TFP dispersion without creating misallocation. I estimate a structural model using a comprehensive dataset of French firms in manufacturing industries. I then implement a TFP decomposition to quantify the contribution of allocative efficiency in France between 1999 and 2010. I find that the misallocation slowdown contributes positively to the aggregate productivity growth between 2001 and 2006.

  BEESTERMOELLER Matthias (Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich) : A Dissection of Trading Capital: Cultural persistence of trade in the aftermath of the fall of the Iron Curtain

  Abstract

  We show that the countries of the former Austro-Hungarian monarchy trade significantly more with one another in the aftermath of the collapse of the Iron Curtain than predicted by a standard gravity model. This trade surplus declines linearly and monotonically over time. We argue that these findings suggest that decaying cultural forces explain a significant part of trading capital. We document the rate of decay of these cultural forces.

  Abstract

  We develop a multi-country, multi-sector, trade gravity model with labour market frictions and long-term equilibrium unemployment. We find that trade liberalisation may lead to a rise in unemployment if it results in labour reallocation towards sectors with higher-than-average labour market frictions. We calibrate the model using panel trade data and estimated sector-specific labour market frictions to quantify the employment and welfare effects of the potential Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) on OECD countries.

  NEDONCELLE Clément (EQUIPPE - Université de Lille) : Real Exchange-Rate Volatility, Third Market Effect and Trade: Evidence from French Firm-level Data

  Co-author(s) : Jérôme Héricourt (EQUIPPE - Université de Lille, CEPII, Paris 1)

  Abstract

  In this paper, we study how firm-level export performance is affected by Real Exchange Rate (RER) volatility and investigate the way this effect is shaped by firm size and the number of destinations. Taking into account third-market effects, we distinguish bilateral volatility from multilateral volatility - the latter capturing volatilities with respect to other destination countries served by the firm. Our empirical analysis relies on export data for French exporters over the 1995-2006 period. We confirm a trade-deterring effect of bilateral RER volatility on both intensive and extensive margins of trade, and we also provide evidence for strong third-market effects : bilateral exports and entry probability increase with RER volatility of other destinations. Finally, we find that both the number of destinations and firm size magnify the effect of both volatilities. These results provide micro-founded evidence suggesting that firms face a trade-off between hedging and optimal reallocation of exports, depending mainly on the number of destinations they serve

  HATTE Sophie (Université de Rouen - PSE) : It's not Who You Are, it's Who You Know: Political Connections and the Media Capture

  Abstract

  Are independent media captured in democratic countries? I address this question by looking at the news coverage of a sample of US firms between 2002 and 2010. More precisely, I focus on news about environmental, social or human rights practices of these firms. Such news are mainly covered by advocacy Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). These advocacy groups vary widely in their sources of revenue. Notably, some of them receive government grants, which are likely to present a chance for governments to capture these NGOs. Using a unique data set of news posted on NGOs’ websites, I find that advocacy groups receiving grants from the US government cover less firms that have connections with the US Congress. Exploiting exogenous variations in grants allocation, instrumental variable estimators report a media capture that is statistically and economically, significant, and driven by political connections.

  EDO Anthony (Paris School of Economics - Paris 1) : Minimum Wage and the Labor Market Effects of Migration: Evidence from France

  Co-author(s)Farid Toubal (ENS, PSE, CESifo, CEPII).

  Abstract

  This paper provides direct evidence of the important role played by the minimum wage in shaping the labor market effects of immigration on native outcomes. We based our analysis on France, a country characterized by a high minimum wage, and we study the impact of immigration along the distribution of native wages over the last two decades. Whereas immigration has a negative average impact on the wages of competing natives by around 1%, we find heterogeneous effects over the French wage distribution. In accordance with the prevalence of a high minimum wage, a labor supply shock induced by immigration has no significant effect on the earnings of natives below the 10th percentile. Instead, we show that immigration decreases the employment opportunity of the natives who are affected by the minimum wages.

  LOPEZ FORERO Margarita (Paris School of Economics - Paris 1) : Exports and FDI at the firm-level in France: complements or substitutes?

  Co-author(s) : Jean-Charles Bricogne (Banque de France)

  Abstract

  In this paper we revisit empirically the question of whether trade and FDI substitute or complement each other by disentangling the different effects at the firm level. Using a variant of the structural gravity equation we investigate the impact of FDI outflows invested by a French firm on its exports. Having access to a unique dataset of FDI and trade for French firms, we are able go one step further in the disaggregation level (the firm and product) vis-à-vis past analysis done using French data. This allows the attenuation of the so-called aggregation bias which explains in some extent the persistent complementarity found in most analysis. However, given the multiproduct nature of MNEs, even at the firm level this bias might subsist across different products of the firm. Thus, in order to identify the competing trade effects of FDI we match the data with the different hypothesis examined by implementing a comparative analysis between different types of countries, different time horizons of the investment and different types of products. We find that on average even at the firm level there is a persistent complementarity. However, it is higher for non OECD than for OECD countries and the analysis suggests it is explained by a higher substitution effect in richer countries and a higher importance of vertical linkages in non OECD countries. Furthermore, in line with theory, when taking into account the timing of the investment and the different types of products exported, we are able to explicitly identify a substitution (negative) effect for the firms’ core products right after the decision of establishing a new affiliate in a rich country.

  OLARREAGA Marcelo (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)

  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.

  LE BRIS Florian (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.

  THANAGOPAL Thannaletchimy (Université Paris 1) : Price versus Quality War : a Case Study of France and Germany

  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).

  MARVI Ramezan Ali (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

  JAUD Mélise (World Bank) : Regime Change, Democracy and Growth

  Co-auteur : Carolina Freund

  Abstract

  Theory and empirics are ambiguous on the eect of democracy on growth. Cross- country studies nd that democracy has no signicant 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 classication 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 specications, to stricter and more lenient denitions of democratic transition, and to including reverse transitions.

  MILET Emmanuel (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.

  DAUDIN Guillaume (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.
