7 Motivation Introduction Motivation Literature Review Summary of Findings What are the costs of crossing an international border? How do we measure them?
8 Motivation Introduction Motivation Literature Review Summary of Findings What are the costs of crossing an international border? How do we measure them? Direct costs?
9 Motivation Introduction Motivation Literature Review Summary of Findings What are the costs of crossing an international border? How do we measure them? Direct costs? or indirect costs?
10 Motivation Introduction Motivation Literature Review Summary of Findings What are the costs of crossing an international border? How do we measure them? Direct costs? or indirect costs? What can we learn from an indirect empirical assessment?
11 Motivation Literature Review Summary of Findings What factors influence the height of trade costs? Measurable costs transportation(geography) tariffs quotas variable levies Costs difficult to measure home preferences cultural differences information barriers trade facilitation issues time spent in transit product standards
12 Literature Review Introduction Motivation Literature Review Summary of Findings McCallum(1995): Canadian provinces 22 times more likely to trade with each other than with a US state. Anderson& Van Wincoop 2003: Re-estimated McCallum s model and found border effect=10(still large) 2004: Surveyed trade costs and found that they are large 170% ad valorem equivalents Direct measures are remarkably sparse and inaccurate. Novy(2009) a method to impute over all trade costs indirectly, U.S. trade costs with partners declined by 40% on average ( ).
13 Key Concept Introduction Motivation Literature Review Summary of Findings Border Effect(or height of trade costs): a measure of countries international relative to internal trade.
14 Key Concept Introduction Motivation Literature Review Summary of Findings Border Effect(or height of trade costs): a measure of countries international relative to internal trade. Gravity Equation Widely accepted model in international economics. x ijt = f (GDP it, GDP jt, t ijt )
15 Summary of Findings Introduction Motivation Literature Review Summary of Findings Ag. is affected by a much higher border effect relative to manufactures.
16 Summary of Findings Introduction Motivation Literature Review Summary of Findings Ag. is affected by a much higher border effect relative to manufactures. Membership in WTO and RTAs reduces the border effect in nontrivial ways.
17 Summary of Findings Introduction Motivation Literature Review Summary of Findings Ag. is affected by a much higher border effect relative to manufactures. Membership in WTO and RTAs reduces the border effect in nontrivial ways. Tariffs are a relatively small component of the border effect: even in agriculture.
18 What We Did Introduction Motivation Literature Review Summary of Findings Assemble industry level trade flow and production data at ISIC 3-digit categories.
19 What We Did Introduction Motivation Literature Review Summary of Findings Assemble industry level trade flow and production data at ISIC 3-digit categories. Impute border effect for two industries: agriculture and manufactures.
20 What We Did Introduction Motivation Literature Review Summary of Findings Assemble industry level trade flow and production data at ISIC 3-digit categories. Impute border effect for two industries: agriculture and manufactures. Identify econometrically whether, observable trade policies influence border effect.
