Title: Regional Integration of Trade in South America: How Far Has It Progressed and in Which Sectors? 
Abstract:
	      This article looks at the regionalization of trade in South
 America by looking at trends in trade during the 1994--2007 period. It
 finds that the increasing political will to strengthen regional
 arrangements, like Mercosur and the Andean Community, has not impacted
 extensively the overall level of regionalization of trade, which is
 relatively low and has not changed significantly over the period.
 Intermediates trade also remains relatively low within the region, which
 implies that regional production networks are under-developed, although
 high-tech and medium-tech consumer goods markets are relatively
 integrated. Overall high-tech trade is not notably more global than trade
 in other types of technology, except in imports.

Title: Foreign Direct Investment and Training in the Host Country: The Tariff-Jumping Argument Revisited 
Abstract:
	      We analyze the direct investment versus export decision of a
 multinational firm in competition with a potential entrant in a host
 country. We consider a workers' skills asymmetry between the host and the
 multinational home countries. We also give the multinational the
 possibility to train all (or a part of) the hired workers when investing.
 We show that an improvement in the workers' skills in the host country
 does not systematically increase the multinational incentive to invest. We
 also demonstrate that the tariff-jumping investment can improve the
 welfare of the host country even if it excludes the local firm from the
 market.

Title: Assessing the Effects of Trade Liberalization on Wage Inequalities in Egypt: A Microsimulation Analysis 
Abstract:
	      This article aims at evaluating the liberalization policies'
 effects on wage inequality in Egypt. Gender, geographical, and skill
 dimensions are used to break down labor into eight segments. This article
 simulates the effect of a reduction of tariffs imposed on imports by 50%.
 Results show that the effect of trade liberalization policies depends on
 the characteristics of the individual and the working sector. Thanks to
 the expansion of textiles, garments, chemicals, and services, inequality
 decreases for urban and rural skilled men as well as skilled and unskilled
 women working in urban areas. By contrast, inequality increases among
 unskilled men and skilled women in rural areas.

Title: The Growing Dominance of China in South Asia: An Indian Perspective 
Abstract:
	      India's economic relations with its neighbors are important
 for the stable and peaceful development of the South Asian region and for
 its own security. In a globalized world, economic relations play a major
 role in deciding political relations and collaboration at multilateral
 fora. In the context of China's increasing trade and investment relations
 with India's neighboring countries, the present study examines where and
 how China has been improving its presence vis-�-vis India in Bangladesh,
 Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. Further, the study also explores the
 factors of India's loss of market in its neighboring countries and
 suggests remedial measures.

Title: A Robust Solution for the Canada--United States Border Puzzle 
Abstract:
	      The border effect states that Canadian provinces trade
 substantially more with other provinces than the United States after
 controlling for economic size and distance. This border effect is listed
 as one of the six puzzles of international economics and has spawned a
 plethora of research investigating its existence, magnitude, and, most
 recently, a solution. This article investigates this solution in order to
 determine if it is robust. After identifying possible economic and
 statistical mis-specification, the solution is shown to be robust.
 Therefore, the border effect is reduced to a reasonable magnitude, but it
 also changes its sign to become consistent with expectations.

Title: The Effect of Exchange Rate on Exports and Imports: The Case of Jordan 
Abstract:
	      This article aims at exploring the effect of exchange rate on
 exports and imports in Jordan over the 1976--2009 period. In addition, it
 tests if Jordan's workers' remittances create an effect, equivalent to
 "the Dutch disease effect," on Jordan's exports competitiveness, and it
 computes Marshall-Lerner condition to check the foreign exchange market
 stability. We employ the bounds testing approach to cointegration and the
 error correction model. We find that Jordan's competitiveness has a trend
 of deterioration. The influence of Jordan's exchange rate on exports and
 imports is active in the short-run only. Additionally, Jordan's workers'
 remittances have an impact similar to "the Dutch disease effect" via
 increasing the cost of living, thus reducing exports competitiveness.
 Also, Marshall-Lerner condition is less than one; the foreign exchange
 market will be unstable if exchange rate policy devaluation is adopted.
 The policy implication of the article is against adopting a devaluation
 policy in Jordan.

Title: The Domestic Sources of Multilateral Trade Negotiations: Explaining Brazil's Negotiating Position in the Doha Round 
Abstract:
	      Under the Cardoso presidency (1995--2002), Brazil adopted a
 reactive and defensive posture on trade liberalization. However, when Lula
 da Silva came into power in 2003, Brazil took a more offensive and
 proactive position on the issue in creating the G-20 and putting forward
 proposals of its own. How can this shift in the Brazilian negotiating
 position be explained? The main argument is that under the Lula da Silva
 administration, Brazil's position in the Doha round primarily reflected
 domestic political constraints on multilateral trade cooperation. Three
 domestic dynamics shaped the national preference for Brazil: a
 heterogeneous governing coalition with a high number of veto players,
 divisions within the Workers' Party, and the demands of interest groups.
 This explanation is discussed on the basis of Brazil's negotiating
 position in WTO negotiations from 2003 to 2006.

Title: The Impact of Conflict Types and Location on Trade 
Abstract:
	      This article investigates the impact of interstate and
 intrastate conflict on trade. Analyses rely on a pooled time-series
 cross-sectional dataset with observations for 134 countries from 1979 to
 2000. Results show that intrastate conflict has a larger negative impact
 on trade than interstate conflict; conflict in the exporting country has a
 more negative impact on trade than conflict in the importing country; and,
 finally, conflict's destructive effects go beyond the borders of the
 countries that directly experience it, as trade flows are also negatively
 influenced by conflict in neighboring countries.

Title: Intra-Industry Specialization in United States--China Trade 
Abstract:
	      Frictions in U.S.--China bilateral trade relations have
 intensified in recent years. Changes in intra-industry specialization
 indicators are used to assess factor adjustment pressures that may have
 been experienced by U.S. and Chinese industries from recent growth in
 bilateral trade. Many industries experienced large increases in
 intra-industry trade over the 2000--10 period. Only 14 of 62 U.S.
 industries may have experienced factor adjustment pressures. Most U.S.
 industries gained from growth in U.S.--China trade. Nine Chinese
 industries may have faced factor adjustment pressures. The United States
 should refrain from using trade remedy measures to address bilateral trade
 frictions and focus instead on improving trade relations.

Title: The Impact of Trade Openness on Regional Inequality: The Cases of India and Brazil 
Abstract:
	      Regional inequalities are large in India and Brazil and
 represent a development challenge. This article aims to determine whether
 regional inequalities are linked to a country's trade openness. An annual
 indicator of regional inequalities is constructed for India for the period
 1980--2004 and for Brazil from 1985--2004. Results from time series
 regressions show that Brazil's trade openness contributes to a reduction
 in regional inequalities. The opposite result is found for India. India's
 trade openness is an important factor aggravating income inequality among
 Indian states. In both countries, inflows of foreign direct investment are
 found to increase regional inequalities.

Title: Export Credit Agency Activities in Developing Countries 
Abstract:
	      International trade has been considered one of the main
 reasons for wealth increase in many countries. In the past, more developed
 countries were able to reach their current prevailing economic conditions
 mainly by exporting to less developed countries, especially through
 capital goods and by financing local projects. More recently, the pendulum
 has swung in the direction of the developing world, especially toward
 China and South Korea in East Asia, Brazil and Argentina in Latin America,
 and Hungary and Turkey in Europe. All of these countries have their
 particular financial and macro-economic pros and cons, but they have in
 common an export-driven approach. As exportation requires financing, the
 capabilities of banking systems and institutionalized export credit
 agencies have become increasingly important since they enhance these
 countries' ability to take part in world trade. In this study, individual
 country facts and financial systems are analyzed in economic terms, and
 the support of the export credit agencies will also be evaluated.

Title: Environmental Performance and U.S. Exports 
Abstract:
	      U.S. industries have reduced their releases of toxic
 chemicals in recent years. These publicly reported environmental
 improvements can increase the demand for U.S. products abroad by
 increasing the perceived quality of these products in countries that are
 concerned about the environmental impacts of manufacturing. This article
 examines this possibility. It presents an analysis of the changes in the
 environmental performance and exports of 19 U.S. industries to 128
 countries between 2002 and 2010.

Title: Some New Evidence about the Effects of U.S. Antidumping Orders and Their Administrative Reviews on the Prices of Covered Imports 
Abstract:
	      The present article presents evidence from a sample of U.S.
 antidumping orders that are followed through as many as 15 administrative
 reviews. The decline in average antidumping duties over the course of
 successive reviews is entirely the result of firms with higher dumping
 duties disappearing from the review process (probably ceasing sales in the
 United States). For given firms surviving to be named in the next review,
 the antidumping duty actually increases from one review to the next. This
 article is the first to report direct information about the unit value of
 covered imports contained in administrative review reports of the United
 States International Trade Commission. This article is also the first to
 present information about the large number of firms more than one-third of
 those ever assigned a firm-specific duty that are named in administrative
 reviews, but not in original antidumping orders.

Title: Exchange Rate Volatility and Economic Activities of Africa's Sub-Groups 
Abstract:
	      Exchange rates have been highly volatile in Africa,
 especially since the move to a floating exchange rate system beginning in
 the 1980s. Generally, the pattern of exchange rate changes differs between
 Africa's two main sub-groups (CFA and non-CFA groups) due to the different
 monetary/exchange rate systems they adopted. This article therefore
 examines the effect of exchange rate volatility on the economic activities
 in Africa and its sub-groups during the period 1986--2011 using a panel
 data approach. 	    Rational expectation theory informs the
 division of exchange rate into anticipated and unanticipated. Both the
 demand and supply channels are explored to trace the impact of the
 exchange rate volatility on price as well as aggregate demand and its
 components. Empirical results reveal differences in the impact of exchange
 rate volatility on economic activities between Africa's two sub-groups.
 Exchange rate volatility produced more significant effects in the non-CFA
 group than in the CFA group.

Title: What Future for the WTO? 
Abstract:
	      The past decade has been troubling for the World Trade
 Organization (WTO). After 12 hard years of negotiation, and multiple
 missed deadlines, stakes are high for breaking the many logjams that
 obstruct the Doha Development Round. This article assesses what can be
 salvaged from the Doha Round and the associated global payoffs, and it
 provides guidelines for maintaining the relevance of the WTO moving
 forward. There is good reason for measured optimism, but for optimism to
 be sustained, trade ministers must deliver something meaningful at the
 Bali WTO Ministerial in December 2013.

Title: The WTO, the Doha Round Impasse, PTAs, and FTAs/RTAs 
Abstract:
	      Beginning in 2001, the Doha Rounds afforded World Trade
 Organization (WTO) members the opportunity to develop equitable trade
 rules between the developed and developing member states. The WTO has been
 successful in advancing multilateral international trade; however, since
 the Doha Rounds stalemate, it has witnessed the development of more than
 300 Preferential Trade Agreements (PTAs) and over 500 Free Trade
 Agreements (FTAs). This article attempts to answer two questions: (1) has
 the failure of the Doha Rounds contributed to the proliferation of PTAs
 and FTAs, and (2) are these agreements threatening the regulatory
 authority of the WTO, which, in turn, reduces its ability to effectively
 promote and govern free trade, and its mission?

Title: Emerging Powers in WTO Negotiations: The Domestic Sources of Trade Policy Preferences 
Abstract:
	      In the current round of multilateral trade liberalization,
 emerging powers such as Brazil and India created the G-20 coalition and
 refused to accept further tariff rate reductions for industrial products
 before the United States and the European Union made reciprocal
 concessions in agriculture. This article examines how and why Brazil and
 India have taken a more offensive and proactive position at the World
 Trade Organization (WTO). Following Putnam's two-level games approach, I
 focus on domestic factors and specifically on interest groups to explain
 actors' policy preferences in WTO negotiations. From a theoretical
 perspective, the case studies Brazil and India lend credit to the
 literature discussing the impact of powerful, sector-specific interest
 groups on governments' trade policy preferences. From an empirical
 perspective, the findings show how these two countries translated these
 demands into government positions and influenced WTO outcomes as
 agenda-setters and coalition builders.

Title: The Influence of Legal Capacity on WTO Dispute Duration 
Abstract:
	      World Trade Organization dispute settlement has evolved away
 from the concise process originally imagined to one where panels languish
 for years. This is to the detriment of lesser-developed states that do not
 have the resources that allow for access. In this article, I perform a
 multivariate analysis to explore the relationship between a state's legal
 capacity and the length of trade disputes. Controlling for selection bias,
 I find that the legal capacity of both of the involved parties contributes
 to longer disputes. The relaxed time expectations in this process favor
 the inclusion of developed states and exclude those without the resources
 necessary to carry out what has become the normal dispute process.

Title: What the OECD-WTO TiVA Data Tell Us about Comparative Advantage and International Trade in General 
Abstract:
	      In this article, the recently published OECD-WTO TiVA data
 are used to re-examine the question of comparative advantage. Using the
 framework developed in Beaudreau (2011), it delves into the structural
 determinants of vertical, as opposed to horizontal, comparative advantage
 (VCA). In particular, it is shown that resource-based VCAs are fewer in
 number but greater in magnitude than knowledge-based ones, and that VCAs
 in R&D-intensive sectors are greater in number but smaller in magnitude.
 Furthermore, it is shown that countries specialize, having a limited
 number of VCAs. International specialization and comparative advantage are
 shown to be based in large measure on resources and knowledge.

Title: A Better Pathway to Export: How the Quality of Road Infrastructure Affects Export Performance 
Abstract:
	      Assessing the trade impact of road quality improvements is
 data demanding. In this article, we overcome this limitation by combining
 highly disaggregated records of export flows with detailed geo-referenced
 information of the Chilean transport network, including its road quality,
 as well as real measures of transport costs of shipping goods within the
 country to measure the trade impact of improving road quality. We find
 that an improvement in road quality that generates an average reduction in
 transport costs of 16% increases average exports by around 2%, but we find
 considerable dispersion in these gains.

Title: Exchange Rate Uncertainty and Trade between U.S. and Canada: Is There Evidence of Third-Country Effect? 
Abstract:
	      In a recent article, we assessed the impact of exchange rate
 uncertainty on the trade flows of 152 industries that trade between the
 United States and Canada. We found that, in the short run, trade flows of
 almost two-thirds of the industries were affected by exchange rate
 uncertainty. However, in the long run, less than one-third of the trade
 flows were affected. Almost all industries that were affected by exchange
 rate uncertainty were found to be small, except for road motor
 vehicles--which make up to 20% of both imports and exports. Exports and
 imports of this largest industry were adversely affected by exchange rate
 uncertainty.		  We wonder how the results will change if we
 account for the "third-country effect," especially the fluctuation of the
 U.S. dollar against the currency of the third member of NAFTA, Mexico. We
 find that, again, in the short run almost two-thirds of the industries are
 affected by exchange rate uncertainty. However, in the long run, only
 one-third of the trade flows are affected. The third-country effect seems
 to be present in the same number of industries, in the short run as well
 as in the long run.

Title: Real Exchange Rate Volatility on the Short- and Long-Run Trade Dynamics in Colombia 
Abstract:
	      The short- and long-run implications of real exchange rate
 volatility on Colombian bilateral trade commodities and non-commodities
 with its major trade partners are analyzed from the perspectives of the
 Marshall-Lerner condition, a cointegration relation with other aggregate
 variables, and the J-curve hypothesis. Long-run equilibrium on the
 Colombian bilateral balance of trade with a country is more common when
 the trade volume is denominated in terms of one of the world's main
 currencies-as is the case of commodity trade and trade with a country
 whose national currency is one of these currencies. No evidence of the
 J-curve was found in any of the analyzed Colombian bilateral balances of
 trade. Opposite to the predictions of the J-curve hypothesis, more common
 are the scenarios of short-run improvements in the bilateral trade
 balances following a devaluation than are those with instantaneous
 declines. Improvements in the terms of trade are found to have a long-run
 deteriorating impact on the Colombian balance of trade, especially in the
 case of non-commodity trade. Policy makers should consider that continuous
 improvements in the Colombian terms of trade, as the ones recently
 observed, will ultimately be a detriment to the country's current balance
 of trade surplus.

Title: The U.S.--China Trade Deficit 
Abstract:
	      The purpose of this article is to examine the trade imbalance
 between the United States and China, and how it affects the United States'
 trade deficit. Contrary to our expectation, the United States' imports
 from China have no significant effect (actually a negative effect) on the
 United States' trade deficit.

Title: Distance, Transaction Costs, and Preferences in European Trade 
Abstract:
				 Beckerman (1956) and Linder (1961) have
 suggested that international trade is not determined by supply-side
 factors alone-perceptions about foreign countries and country preferences
 matter. We explore the relation between exports, cultural distance, and
 country preferences in Europe. The results show that several distance and
 preference-related variables, based on Hofstede's cultural dimensions,
 income gaps, and voting patterns in the Eurovision Song Contest, are
 significantly related to bilateral trade. We conclude that cultural
 distance and preferences influence trade through several channels, both
 indirectly through transaction costs and more directly, as countries seem
 to prefer some trade partners before others.

Title: Income Distribution and the Composition of Imports 
Abstract:
				 Are similar types of goods imported to
 countries that have similar characteristics? It is possible that the total
 volume of trade is similar and yet the types of goods are different. This
 article investigates the trading pattern of countries with similar
 characteristics. More specifically, we analyze the relationship between
 the import patterns and income distributions of importers. We develop an
 import similarity index to portray the composition of imports and utilize
 the idea of "market overlap" (Bohman & Nilsson 2007a) to represent the
 similarity of income distributions across different importing countries.
 We provide empirical evidence to support the notion that countries with
 similar income distributions display similar import patterns.

Title: Outward Foreign Direct Investment, Interindustry Networks, and U.S. Trade Politics 
Abstract:
				 This article investigates how outward
 foreign direct investment by U.S. multinational corporations influences
 industry lobbying for trade protection in the United States, focusing on
 interindustry structure of goods sales networks between upstream and
 downstream sectors and also on the multinationals' input procurement
 patterns. If foreign affiliates of U.S. multinationals switch input
 sources from U.S. to host-country suppliers, U.S. suppliers should receive
 a negative demand shock, <italic>ceteris paribus</italic>. An empirical
 test finds that those U.S. upstream sectors that are highly dependent upon
 U.S. multinationals for goods sales tend to lobby more as the
 multinationals' overseas production and sales increase.

Title: Effects of Japan's Economic Partnership Agreements on the Extensive Margin of International Trade 
Abstract:
				 This article investigates the effects of
 Japan's economic partnership agreements (EPAs) on the Japanese import
 variety with respect to tariff reductions and outward foreign direct
 investments. The study is focused on the impact of changing tariffs and
 investments on the range of goods that EPA partners export to Japan for
 the periods 2005-10 and 2007-12. By using disaggregate tariff and trade
 data at the nine-digit HS level and by introducing the logit estimates
 with goods-specific effects, the article finds that both tariff reductions
 and Japan's outward foreign direct investment help increase the likeliness
 of a commodity in the industrial sector to be exported to Japan from its
 EPA partner countries in the periods 2005-10 and 2007-12.

Title: Does Antidumping Address "Unfair" Trade? 
Abstract:
 While antidumping laws were originally developed as the international
 trade analogue of domestic competition or antitrust policies, most
 vestiges of competition policy disappeared early in their evolution.
 Nonetheless, the formal justification for modern antidumping practice
 remains founded on countering "unfair" trading practices and preserving
 competitive markets. We update and consolidate a relatively thin
 literature that has examined this issue formally. Applying a "likelihood
 of predatory practice" index to the European Union's use of antidumping
 proceedings over the period 2001 to 2010, we find more antidumping cases
 that suggest competition policy concerns than do previous studies,
 although these are still a minority.

Title: Determinants for Macroeconomic Factors of Antidumping: A Comparative Analysis of India and China 
Abstract:
 This article makes a comparative analysis of the antidumping practices of
 three giant countries by using panel data of antidumping from the World
 Trade Organization for the period 1995-2010. An empirical analysis shows
 that India effectively took advantage of antidumping filings against
 export-oriented Asian countries during periods of low GDP growth and high
 unemployment. China, however, has frequently filed antidumping measures
 against export-oriented Asian countries experiencing a trade deficit and a
 high unemployment rate. The results also predict that India's antidumping
 filings against China may continue for the time being; however, India's
 antidumping filings against Japan and Korea are expected to gradually
 decline due to the free trade agreements among them.

Title: Imported Intermediate Inputs, R&D, and Productivity at Firm Level: Evidence from Indian Manufacturing Industries 
Abstract:
 This article examines the effects of imported intermediary inputs and
 in-house research and development (R&D) on productivity growth, using
 firm-level data from Indian manufacturing industries for the period
 2000-09. For this purpose, we adopted two empirical frameworks: production
 function and growth accounting method. The estimated results from the
 production function framework suggest that the impact of imported
 intermediary goods on output is reasonably sizable. The role of R&D
 activities under this framework is found to be insignificant. The analysis
 based on the growth accounting suggests that total factor productivity of
 firms is linked with import and R&D activities.

Title: Climate Change and Trade Opportunity in Climate Smart Goods in Asia: Application of Gravity Model 
Abstract:
 This article highlights the export potential trade gap in climate smart
 goods (CSG) in Asia in 2008. Using the trade gravity equation, this
 article estimates trade value and measures potential trade gap. This
 potential trade gap suggests that there is a scope to increase the export
 of CSG. This study identifies individual trade partners and focuses on the
 trade opportunity in CSG in Asia.

Title: Impact of Trade Facilitation on Parts and Components Trade 
Abstract:
				 This article utilizes data from
 seventy-seven countries over the period 2004-07 in a gravity trade model
 to examine the impact of four dimensions of trade facilitation-physical
 infrastructure, information and communication technology, business
 environment, and border efficiency-on parts and components and final goods
 trade for the machinery and transport equipment sector. The results show
 that the effect of importers' overall trade facilitation measures is
 stronger for promoting parts and components than for final goods trade.
 Among the four dimensions, border efficiency has the largest impact on
 trade flows for this sector, and the effect of exporter and particularly
 importers' border efficiency is important for parts and components, as
 compared to final goods trade.

Title: Immigration and Trade Creation for the United States: Role of Immigrant Occupation 
Abstract:
				 Using a sample of 63 U.S. trading partners
 that constitute the major immigrant sending countries over the years
 1991-2000 and using instrumental variable estimation this paper finds that
 the immigrant trade elasticity varies with the share of the immigrants in
 various occupation groups. The share of professional immigrants
 significantly increases the immigrant trade elasticity for all types of
 trade due to their ability to effectively use their network for trade
 creation. This effect is strongest for the Rauch's differentiated imports
 where the immigrant specific home country information and immigrant demand
 for goods play a key role in increasing trade.

Title: Regional Cooperation Toward Green Asia: Trade in Low Carbon Goods 
Abstract:
				 Governments in the Asian region have been
 taking actions in the form of voluntary targets and policy commitments to
 improve the production and use of low carbon goods (LCG). However, these
 commitments are often challenged by many constraints, such as
 technological barriers and financial deficiencies. Within this context,
 the main objective of this study is to measure the potential of major
 emerging Asian economies for exports in LCG under the grand regional
 coalition, partial regional coalition, and standalone scenarios. The
 analysis indicates that emerging Asian economies will increase their
 export potential in LCG more under the grand coalition scenario.

Title: Labor Demand: The Role of Imports in Production 
Abstract:
				 Can import quality affect firms' labor
 demand? In this article I analyze how high- and low-quality imports affect
 labor demand in importing firms in Swedish manufacturing. The largest
 variation is observed in medium- and large-sized firms. In large firms, an
 increase in high-quality imports on average reduces the demand for highly
 educated labor-a substitution effect in production. In medium-sized firms,
 the effect is the opposite, thus indicating production complementarities.
 The largest effect, however, is observed in micro-sized firms, where a 1%
 increase in high-quality imports on average increases the amount of highly
 educated labor by 0.021%. High- and low-quality imports tend to affect the
 demand for low-educated labor positively in all firm size categories,
 hence favoring complementarity effects in production.

Title: Trade Negotiations in the Americas and What They Mean for You 
Abstract:
 The United States is engaged in two huge trade negotiations-the
 Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment
 Partnership-that will have a profound impact on our economy and on the
 world trade system. These agreements can be an important template for new
 rules governing world trade, and they address some important new areas,
 such as regulatory issues. However, if they are to be a good template,
 U.S. negotiators have to alter some of their proposals, and these new
 agreements have to prohibit predatory trade practices, such as currency
 manipulation.

Title: Trade Integration and Revealed Comparative Advantages of Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America & Caribbean Merchandise Export 
Abstract:
 This study examined the revealed comparative advantage (RCA) of
 sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and Latin America & Caribbean (LAC) on the export
 of five merchandise subsectors (during 1995 to 2010) using the World
 Development Indicators database. Despite improvements observed, SSA's and
 LAC's trade share and economic integration are low. LAC has stronger RCA
 than SSA in export of food items though the gap in their competitiveness
 is not wide. The SSA region has higher RCA in export of agricultural raw
 materials, fuel, and ores and metals than LAC. Both regions have revealed
 comparative disadvantage in the export of manufactures, though lesser in
 LAC.

Title: Organizational and Psychosocial Cultural Factors for Successful Investment by Foreign Companies in Mexico 
Abstract:
 When foreign companies invest in other countries, cultural differences
 emerge that affect the employees' productivity. There are several studies
 regarding the different cultural factors that affect company and employee
 productivity, not only in the psychological domain, but also in the
 organizational domain. A survey was developed to study and assess the
 psychological and organizational cultural factors that can affect the
 performance of the employee in foreign companies established in the
 northeast of Mexico. The results show that leadership style and family
 values are the most important factors influencing the performance of the
 worker.

Title: The Effect of Exchange Rates on the Costs of Exporters When Inputs Are Denominated in Foreign Currencies 
Abstract:
 Econometric estimates of exchange rate pass-through usually assume that
 100% of the exporter's costs are denominated in the exporter's currency.
 However, the literature on trade in value added indicates that a country's
 exports often include imported intermediates with costs that may be
 denominated in other currencies. Using international input-output tables,
 we analyze whether unrealistic assumptions about the currency denomination
 of costs can explain some of the evidence of partial exchange rate
 pass-through in the econometrics literature. We find that models of
 exchange rate pass-through that rely on the usual cost assumption are
 likely to significantly understate pass-through rates.

Title: Impact of the Trans-Pacific Partnership on China's Textiles and Apparel Exports: A Quantitative Analysis 
Abstract:
 This study intends to quantify the potential effect of the implementation
 of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) on China's textiles and apparel
 exports. Results show that, first, China's apparel exports to the United
 States, Japan, and the NAFTA region will significantly decline after the
 TPP. Second, trade diversion effect caused by Japan will negatively offset
 the potential expansion of China's textile exports to Vietnam and other
 Asian TPP members after the TPP. Third, Japan's accession to the TPP will
 impose substantial negative impact on China's textile and apparel exports
 in the TPP era.

Title: The Impact of Export Tax Policy on Cocoa Farmers and Supply Chain 
Abstract:
 Since April 2010, the government of Indonesia has imposed an export tax on
 cocoa beans that aims to increase the availability of the cocoa beans for
 domestic processing companies at an affordable price. The objective of
 this article is to analyze the effect of the export tax on farmers and the
 supply chain. This study was conducted by a survey in North Luwu, South
 Sulawesi, which is the central production area of cocoa beans in
 Indonesia. The results show that, after the export tax was imposed,
 farmers maintained the same marketing channel, but margins decreased on
 the exporters' side.

Title: Identification of Current Account Deficit: The Case of Turkey 
Abstract:
 Turkey is a developing, small, open economy with a volatile growth
 pattern. One of the major problems of its economy is the current account
 deficit (CAD) problem. Analyzing the current account deficit, one faces
 more than one transmission channel: (i) credit growth would increase GDP
 growth and the CAD; (ii) increases in growth would cause real exchange
 rate appreciation, thereby increasing imports and the CAD; and (iii)
 increases in capital inflows would result in exchange rate appreciation,
 which would stimulate imports and discourage exports, increasing the CAD.
 This article analyzes these transmission mechanisms to CAD by using a
 vector autoregression (VAR) methodology for the period 1987Q1 to 2011Q4.

Title: A Note on Firm Age and the Margins of Exports: First Evidence from Germany 
Abstract:
 This article uses a new tailor-made data set to empirically investigate
 the link between firm age and the extensive and intensive margins of
 exports for the first time for Germany. Results turn out to be fully in
 line with theoretical considerations. Older firms are more often
 exporters, export more and more different goods to more different
 destination countries, and export to more distant destination markets.

Title: The J-Curve: Evidence from Industry-Level Data Between the U.S. and Indonesia 
Abstract:
 Empirical studies on the impact of currency devaluation or depreciation on
 the trade balance still continue to occupy the literature. These studies
 have evolved from using aggregate to disaggregated data. The findings,
 however, have been mixed. Previous research using aggregate trade flows of
 Indonesia with the rest of the world or bilateral data between Indonesia
 and the U.S. as one of its major trading partners found no significant
 relation between rupiah-dollar rate and Indonesia's bilateral trade
 balances. In this article, we disaggregate the trade flows between
 Indonesia and the U.S. by commodity and show that the trade balances of at
 least nine out of 23 industries react to exchange rate changes favorably
 in the long run.

Title: Iceberg Trade Cost Measures: An Application to the OECD Area over 1988-2010 
Abstract:
 This study suggests an augmented trade cost function, with correction for
 nonstationarity, and applies it to estimate bilateral iceberg trade costs
 of OECD countries during 1988-2010. We show that trade costs have not been
 reduced during recent decades, but also exhibit an upward trend in
 geographical, institutional, and cultural components. Our findings also
 indicate that bilateral and multilateral trade resistances are
 asymmetrically distributed across the OECD area, particularly for
 intra-continent trade and for trade between countries at different levels
 of economic development. A convergence process is, however, detected
 between developed and developing countries.

Title: Do Labor Unions Hinder or Boost International Outsourcing? Evidence from U.S. Manufacturing 
Abstract:
 This article provides empirical evidence that labor unions can influence
 firms' international outsourcing decisions in the U.S. manufacturing
 sector. There is a negative effect of the current level of unionism and a
 positive effect of the previous level of unionism on the firms'
 international outsourcing intensity. Our results support the proposition
 put forward by Lommerud et al. (2009) that labor unions hinder firms'
 international outsourcing behavior, if the decision to outsource is made
 no later than the wage-employment bargaining. However, stronger labor
 unions still induce international outsourcing if firms' decisions are made
 subsequent to wage-employment bargaining.

Title: Distributional Consequences of Globalization: Is Organization of the Islamic Conference Countries Different? 
Abstract:
 This article investigates distributional effects of globalization using
 new comparable panel data for Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC)
 and non-OIC developing countries from 1965 to 2010. The results show that
 the Kuznets Curve does not exist in OIC countries, while it holds in
 non-OIC countries. International trade tends to widen income inequality in
 OIC countries while it helps to ameliorate inequalities in non-OIC
 countries. Financial development decreases inequality only in OIC
 countries. The study concludes that OIC countries are different from
 non-OIC countries in their exposure to globalization.

Title: Factors Influencing China's Exports with a Spatial Econometric Model 
Abstract:
 This article employs a spatial econometric model to examine whether
 China's exports are affected by political risk, economic integration, and
 spatial effects. The results show that as China's economy has grown, a
 home market effect is evident for its exports. A higher level of economic
 integration is beneficial to China's exports. A substitutive relationship
 is discovered between China's OFDI and exports. In addition, the higher
 income per capita of partner countries and the high degree of economic
 openness are both beneficial to China's exports. The partner countries of
 China, with their higher values of export trade, have been mostly
 countries with lower political risk.

Title: Foreign Direct Investment, Pollution, and the Environmental Quality: A Model with Empirical Evidence From the Chinese Regions 
Abstract:
 In this study, within the framework of the Environmental Kuznets Curve
 (EKC), we empirically investigate the effects of regional openness to
 foreign direct investment (FDI) and regional economic growth on pollution
 emission across the Chinese provinces. Our analysis shows FDI contributes
 to more serious pollution emission, where the effect of the former on the
 latter is realized through the former's impacts on the input of natural
 resources or the industry mix, either of which is associated with the
 level of total factor productivity. Our analysis also shows that with the
 continuous growth of output and per capita output, pollution emission and
 pollution emission intensity would both first rise and then fall, which
 lends support to the EKC hypothesis.

Title: Exchange Rate Shocks and U.S. Services and Agricultural Exports: Which Export Sector is More Affected? 
Abstract:
 In this article, a vector autoregressive model is constructed with monthly
 data from 1992:1 to 2009:12 to investigate the exchange rate propagation
 mechanisms to real exports of U.S. services and agricultural sectors.
 Using plausible identification assumptions consistent with many open
 economy macro models, the results indicate that exchange rate shocks
 impact services exports more than they do on agricultural exports.
 Moreover, the shocks are more persistent on services relative to
 agricultural exports.

Title: The Time Cost of Documents to Trade 
Abstract:
 The article shows that the number of documents required to export and
 import tend to increase the time cost of shipments. However, the increase
 in the time cost of increased documentation is much larger for countries
 that are relatively poor and large in size. One interpretation here is
 that the relatively rich countries that have more resources and the
 relatively small countries that rely more on trade invest more in building
 efficient documentation systems. Our findings suggest caution in
 interpreting how input-based measures, such as the number of required
 documents to trade, affect outcome measures.

Title: Innovation and Exporting: Does Quality Matter? 
Abstract:
 We study the effect of innovation on a firm's propensity to export,
 developing a simple model where heterogeneous firms operate in a
 monopolistically competitive market and set their prices as a markup above
 the marginal cost. The key proposition of our model is that firms that
 invest in better quality products are more likely to export. We test it
 using Italian firms' data. Econometric results suggest that innovation,
 defined as quality upgrading, has a significant effect on the firms'
 propensity to export; and, for those who are already exporting,
 innovation--defined as new products--has a significant effect on a firm's
 turnover.

Title: Does the WTO Increase Trade and Cause Convergence? 
Abstract:
 China and India implemented the World Trade Organization (WTO) agreements,
 removing restrictions with the intent to increase international trade and
 foreign investment. This article aims to examine whether this objective
 was achieved by analyzing trends in exports and imports, and determining
 Granger Causality among FDI, exports, and imports during the pre- and
 post-WTO periods. Our results show that India's imports have more than
 doubled throughout the post-WTO period, indicating substantial WTO
 effectiveness in India, while the WTO's effect in China is mixed and not
 that significant. Further, four theoretical propositions have been posited
 to encourage further research.

Title: An Oil-Producing State's Ability to Cope after a Regional Free Trade Agreement--The Case of Texas and NAFTA 
Abstract:
 This article examines the potential economic effects that the 1994 North
 American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) had on Texas--an oil-producing,
 large border state. We estimate a five-variable vector autoregressive
 (VAR) model with quarterly data from January 1976 to March 2011 and
 construct a structural VAR representation by imposing long-term
 restrictions to identify U.S. aggregate, oil price, and Texas-specific
 shocks. After comparing responses to these structural shocks before and
 after NAFTA, our results suggest that NAFTA contributed to Texas' economy,
 becoming more resilient to oil price and non-Texas disruptions.

Title: Keynote Speech: Opportunities and Challenges for Mexico Today 
Abstract:
 Since its pre-colonial history, Mexico has demonstrated two contrary
 tendencies: the outward-looking, global trader and the protective,
 nationalist instinct. Today, the seven major constitutional reforms of the
 PRI government reflect the former. However, the teacher's union, some
 presidential advisors, and the criminal justice system reflect a
 preference for the latter. The more progressive sectors of Mexican society
 assert the need to participate in the global economy, but latent
 protective and nationalist tendencies throw up challenges. This article
 examines several contemporary examples of each tendency and demonstrates
 how they coexist uneasily in modern Mexico.

Title: Keynote Speech: Federal Reserve Policy in the Post-Crisis Period 
Abstract:
 The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) engaged in a series of
 extraordinary monetary policy actions in the wake of the Global Financial
 Crisis of 2007-2008 to support economic activity in the United States.
 Interest rates were lowered to their effective lower bound and the Fed's
 balance sheet was greatly expanded through a series of large-scale asset
 purchase programs. As the U.S. economy has recovered, "normalization" of
 monetary policy (which will be data-dependent) has drawn closer. This
 article reviews some factors that may impact the post-normalization course
 of monetary policy.

Title: Keynote Speech: Macro-Financial Policy Challenges in the Face of a Complex Environment: The Case of Mexico 
Abstract:
 Emerging economies face a complex environment as of April 2015, mostly as
 a result of a slowdown in global growth, an increased risk of capital flow
 reversals, and a reduction in the price of oil. Due to the effects of this
 reduction on external and fiscal balance, the environment is particularly
 adverse for oil-exporting countries. This article reviews the different
 channels through which the environment entails financial risk for emerging
 economies, focusing on Mexico, an emerging and oil-exporting country. Our
 analysis reveals that this country faces several macro-financial policy
 challenges stemming from the aforementioned financial risks.

Title: The Evolutionary Effects of Democracy: In the Long Run, We are All Trading? 
Abstract:
 It is well established that democracy affects trade, but how does this
 relationship change over time? The results suggest that democracy
 increases trade openness both in the short and long run. However,
 democracy only leads to a reduction in trade restrictions in the short
 term. In addition, the durability of a polity is employed as an instrument
 in order to consider the possibility that democracy and trade are
 endogenously related. This method helps to isolate a causal effect of
 democracy on trade, and the results suggest that the economic effect of
 democracy is 2-3 times larger than under OLS.

Title: Province-Level Impacts of Canada's Trade Agreements 
Abstract:
 Given Canada's extended geography and regional economic diversity,
 individual provinces have differing exposures to particular international
 trade agreements. We demonstrate this by estimating the impacts of the
 Canada-Korea free trade agreement on the province of Ontario, using a
 dynamic general equilibrium model to generate Canada-level impacts, which
 are then decomposed on the basis of partial equilibrium model simulations
 on a trade dataset in which Ontario is represented as a separate
 international trading entity. We show that geography and sectoral
 specialization matter and that general equilibrium effects must be taken
 into account in partial equilibrium assessments of sectoral impacts of
 major trade agreements.

Title: The Next Frontier of Mobile Money Adoption 
Abstract:
 In this article, I explore the characteristics of businesses that use
 mobile money by using the World Bank's Enterprise Surveys Program data set
 for the year 2013. I study firms in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia.
 My analysis shows that small firms are more likely to use the service than
 medium and large firms. Also, older firms are more likely to use the
 service than younger ones. Moreover, firms with bank accounts are more
 likely to use the service. Finally, firms in Kenya are more likely to use
 the service than firms in Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia.

Title: Strategic advertising policy in international oligopoly markets 
Abstract:
 Strategic trade policy has become an important tool used by countries to
 increase domestic welfare. Ma and Ulph&#xa0;(2012) further this discussion
 by analyzing strategic advertising policy in international oligopoly
 markets. They find that it is always optimal for a home government to
 subsidize advertising for exports, whether firms compete in a Cournot- or
 Bertrand-type game. By extending their analysis to include the
 Cournot-Bertrand model, we find that an advertising subsidy is not always
 optimal for the home country. In some cases, the optimal strategic policy
 is an advertising tax.

Title: Price transmission and volatility spillovers in Asian rice markets: Evidence from MGARCH and panel GARCH models 
Abstract:
 This article examines world rice price transmission and volatility
 spillovers across six major Asian rice markets over the period 2005-13. In
 addition to the conventional GARCH models, we use a panel GARCH framework
 to estimate the spillover effects along with the consideration of
 heterogeneity and interdependence among countries. Empirical results
 suggest that changes in the world rice price affected not only the price
 levels of domestic rice markets but also their conditional variances.
 Moreover, interdependence across rice markets contributed to a strong
 spillover of a price shock in one country to another within the region.

Title: A geographic view of expansion choices by U.S. firms in China 
Abstract:
 How does geography matter for explaining the location patterns of U.S.
 companies in China? We combine insights from the literature on economic
 geography and spatial interdependence in foreign direct investment (FDI)
 activity to provide a comparative analysis using both sectoral regression
 results and maps that illustrate patterns in the data. We use a unique
 sample of publicly traded U.S. firms that announced expansion of
 operations into China between 1980 and 2005. Regression results show that,
 relative to the tertiary sector, firm characteristics matter more for
 primary sector firms, whereas province characteristics matter more for
 secondary sector firms. Additionally, our GIS analysis reveals a high
 level of locational concentration and differences in provincial
 characteristics over time. Overall, we find that combining GIS methods
 with FDI data can provide a richer picture of economic activity that is
 highly accessible to both academics and practitioners.

Title: Effects of wars and boycotts on international trade: Evidence from the late Ottoman Empire 
Abstract:
 Between 1830 and 1913, the Ottoman Empire was involved in destructive wars
 with its trading partners. Boycotts were organized against Bulgaria and
 Austria-Hungary. The effects of wars and boycotts are a topic of debate
 among historians. This article examines whether wars and boycotts were
 associated with how the Ottoman Empire traded with its trading partners
 from 1830 to 1913. The findings indicate a decrease in trade with its
 adversaries during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877--78, the Crimean War, and
 the Balkan Wars. In addition, there was a statistically significant
 reduction in trade with Austria-Hungary due to the boycott.

Title: Import Demand Elasticity and Exporter Response to Anti-Dumping Duties 
Abstract:
 This article investigates exporting firms&#x2019; behavior following the
 imposition of anti-dumping (AD) duties. AD duties tend to increase the
 prices of imported goods via a mechanism different from any other trade
 barrier because the AD duty size is endogenously dependent on import
 prices. Our model accounts for this feature and demonstrates that
 exporters are more likely to adjust their price upward when they face a
 less elastic demand. The theoretical predictions are supported empirically
 by relating product-level U.S. import demand elasticities and exporting
 firms&#x2019; reactions to duties inferred from a dataset on U.S. AD
 investigations from 1980 to 1995.

Title: Have Technological Advances Reduced Response Time of Trade Flows to Changes in the Exchange Rate and Relative Prices? 
Abstract:
 In this article, we conjecture that the speed with which trade flows
 adjust to exchange rate and relative price changes are faster during
 post-1990 as compared to pre-1990. We attribute this to the Internet
 revolution and technological advances that took place during the 1990s.
 Our hypothesis is supported in 10 out of 16 import and export demand
 models that are estimated for eight countries. When the models are
 estimated for the entire sample period, we try to update Orcutt&#x2019;s
 (1950) hypothesis that trade flows adjust to exchange rate changes faster
 than to changes in relative prices. Like previous studies, not much
 support is found for the later hypothesis and results are country
 specific.

Title: How Can Globalization Affect Income Distribution? Evidence from Developing Countries 
Abstract:
 The standard Hecksher-Ohlin-Samuelson framework claimed that foreign trade
 benefits developing countries, but many empirical studies suggest
 otherwise. After analyzing data on income deciles from the World Income
 Distribution Database for 66 developing countries, we found that trade
 openness benefits underprivileged people in affluent countries but not in
 developing countries. Also, external financial flows and democracy in
 conjunction do not exert significant effects, suggesting that these
 variables might affect income distribution through different channels.
 Finally, we reinforce the Kuznets inverted-U hypothesis; namely, the
 presence of an economic development threshold beyond which low-income
 deciles would increase.

Title: International Competitiveness: A Case Study of American, Swedish, and Ukrainian Forest Industries 
Abstract:
 The objectives of this article are to assess changes in the international
 competitiveness of the forest products industries in three countries
 (Sweden, the US, and Ukraine) during the years preceding, during, and
 after the recent economic crisis. To deepen the exploration of the three
 countries&#x2019; competitiveness, we propose a Cross-Country Relative
 Competitiveness Index. The results show that comprehensive measurement of
 comparative and competitive advantages is essential for determining why a
 given industry in a given country is doing well or badly. They also
 provide broad background information for subsequent, more detailed
 explorations of important changes and trends.

Title: The Effects of Currency Depreciation on Industry Trade Flows between Malaysia and China 
Abstract:
 This article investigates the impact of real depreciation of ringgit/yuan
 on Malaysian bilateral trade with her largest trading partner, China, over
 the period of 1987 to 2013. Using disaggregated import and export data
 from 39 industries, the results from the bounds testing approach to
 co-integration and error-correction model reveal that the real bilateral
 exchange rate has short- and long-run effects in the majority of the
 industries. However, the short-run effects shift into the long run in nine
 out of 20 import industries and in 13 out of 20 export industries. Most of
 these are small industries producing intermediate goods.

 China has emerged as the fastest-growing economy in the world. In this
 context, I discuss the antecedents, characteristics, and consequence of
 China&#x2019;s rise in the world economy with reference to the
 &#x201c;four W&#x201d; framework (What, When, Where, and Why). This
 article provides insights into the role of exports and FDI in
 China&#x2019;s rise. Theoretical as well as real-life factors contributing
 to this success are also listed. Comparative analysis with other emerging
 countries, such as India, is provided. In addition, directions for future
 research are outlined.

Title: Measuring within Diversification 
Abstract:
 As evidenced in the literature, countries diversify their exports not only
 across products, but also within products. An index that takes the
 within-industry dynamics into account is, however, not available. To fill
 this gap, a new index of diversification, Within Diversification Index
 (WDI), is constructed and presented for empirical purposes. The index
 values show that as countries become richer, their level of within
 diversification increases.

Title: The High-Value Commodity Export Effects of Standards in Africa 
Abstract:
 The stringency in standards usage, especially in developed markets, has
 trade effects, particularly for Africa. Thus, this study investigated the
 export effects of the EU standards for Africa in a two-step, Helpman et
 al. (2008) model for two high-value commodities. In all, 52 African
 countries were considered from 1995 to 2012. This study finds that fish
 standards are trade enhancing at the extensive margins, but not at the
 intensive margins. However, vegetable standards are trade inhibiting at
 both the extensive and intensive margins. Thus, these findings suggest
 that the impacts of standards on exports are commodity-specific.

Title: Changing structure of exports and product sophistication in the East and Southeast Asian region
Abstract: 
 This current study of 12 countries in the East and Southeast Asian region aims to provide a framework of analysis built upon a wild-geese-flying (WGF) pattern of development in order to evaluate the potential for a region-wide development scheme by looking at the implications of trade flows over the last two decades. The empirical methodology involves searching for WGF consistent shifts in the trade structure of countries considered over the period of 1995 to 2014. We also investigate China’s changing role within the region’s division of labor and implications of this for the slower-growing nations in the region.

Title: Has the WTO’s Aid for Trade Initiative Delivered on Its Promise of Greater Mobilization of Development Aid in Favor of the Trade Sector in Developing Countries?
Abstract: 
 In 2005, the Members of the World Trade Organization (WTO) launched the Aid for Trade (AfT) Initiative, with a view of mobilizing higher development aid in order to promote developing countries’ trade. This article assesses whether the WTO has reached its objective, more than 10 years after the launch of this initiative. Using an unbalanced panel dataset of 102 developing countries over the period of 2002 to 2016, and various AfT share variables, the empirical analysis has shown that the WTO has genuinely delivered on its promise of mobilizing higher Aid for Trade flows for developing countries.

Title: Spatial dependence of global income inequality: The role of economic complexity
Abstract: 
 There is extensive literature investigating the macroeconomic sources of income inequality. To our knowledge, this literature ignores the spatial dimension of global income inequality, specifically the relationship between economic relatedness and income inequality. Using panel data for 129 countries from 1964 to 2013, we show that income inequality in a country is affected by the income inequality and economic complexity of its trading partners. We find that (1) a country’s income inequality is positively correlated with the average income inequality among its top trading partners; and (2) that trade with economically more complex countries is correlated with reductions in income inequality.

Title: The Home Market Effect, Economic Growth, and the Dynamic Trade Patterns
Abstract: 
 In spite of increasing globalization, the effects of international trade on economic growth remain unclear. I consider an endogenous economic growth model in an open economy with the home market effect and non-homothetic preferences to identify the determinants of the various results in this relationship. The model shows how trade between similar countries leads to convergence in economic growth when knowledge spillovers are present, while trade between highly asymmetric countries produces divergence and may become trade in a poverty or growth trap. Besides, international trade does not necessarily imply greater welfare, as is usual in a static context under CES preferences.

Title: Export Competitiveness of Botswana’s Beef Industry
Abstract: 
 We investigate Botswana’s beef export competitiveness for the period 1961–2011 using the Normalized Revealed Comparative Advantage (NRCA) index. Results indicate that Botswana has had a comparative advantage throughout the review period. Overall, the country ranked fifth out of nine leading beef exporters. However, its comparative advantage weakened after 1975, and the country has recently been bypassed by three other key beef exporters which initially had comparative disadvantages. This was largely driven by increasing domestic demand for beef (and stagnant domestic supply). Policymakers should consider removal of the state-trader export monopoly to promote private sector entry and vertical diversification into value-added exports.

Title: Estimating Trade Misinvoicing from Bilateral Trade Statistics: The Devil is in the Details
Abstract: 
 Trade misinvoicing, an important channel of illicit financial flows, is frequently estimated by the partner-country trade data comparison method. However, this method relies on a critical but incorrect assumption that the trade statistics in partner countries exhibit no misinvoicing. This study proves that the assumption of no misinvoicing in partner countries cannot be supported, raising serious doubts about the reliability of the method and a possibility that inappropriate policy decisions may be made based on the erroneous estimates of trade misinvoicing. We introduce an alternative method to estimate trade misinvoicing which does not rely on the trade statistics of partner countries.

Title: Are Current Account Deficits in the OECD Countries Sustainable? Robust Evidence from Time-Series Estimators
Abstract: 
 This study examines the sustainability of current account deficits (CADs) and validity of intertemporal budget constraint (IBC) for 24 OECD countries. While the OLSEG, ML system, and OLSGH estimates of the model do not provide support, the GMM, DOLS, and NLLS estimates provide consistent support for the sustainability of CADs across most countries. The estimates of the model with multiple structural breaks reinforce the sustainability of CADs. The results provide dominant support for the sustainability of CADs and validity of IBC across most countries. The CADs are only short-run phenomena and are balanced by future surpluses.

Title: Growth, Resource Allocation, and Welfare: An Extension to Non-Traded and Intermediate Goods
Abstract: 
 This work is an extension of the existing literature on growth of factors of production, output expansions, and welfare of a nation involved in international trade. It used to be an accepted notion that growth augments welfare without question, until Jagdish Bhagwati and, later, Harry Johnson provided contrarian views on the issues under specified conditions. Here, in this article, an attempt is made to generalize the 2 × 2 models of Bhagwati and Johnson on factor growth, resource allocation, and welfare. The effects of growth on output changes and conditions for immiserizing growth are enunciated in this modified general equilibrium framework.

Title: The exchange regime and trade balance in Turkey
Abstract: 
 Over the last 15 years, high trade deficits have become a source of external vulnerability for the relatively stabilized Turkish economy. This corresponds to the period where authorities have been following a floating exchange rate regime. Thus, this study aims to empirically show whether the adopted exchange rate regime has an impact on the trade balance for the period of 1987 Q1 to 2015 Q2. Estimation results indicate that there is a long-run relationship between the real effective exchange rate and trade balance under both fixed and floating regimes in Turkey, but there is no evidence for the J-curve hypothesis.

Title: The impact of world oil price shocks on the Canada/U.S. real exchange rate
Abstract: 
 This article investigates whether and how changes in the world oil price affect the Canada/U.S. real exchange rate. We applied vector autoregression and vector error correction models for the real exchange rate, world oil price, monetary differential, government spending, and productivity differential between the two countries. Our results demonstrate that a surge in the world oil price will lead to an appreciation of the Canadian dollar in the short and long term. Product differentials and U.S. government spending have a negative impact on the Canada/U.S. real exchange rate, and Canadian government spending leads to a depreciation of the Canadian dollar.

Title: Do inpayments and outpayments respond to exchange rate changes asymmetrically: Evidence from Malaysia
Abstract: 
 Since the pass-through of exchange rate changes on import and export prices are asymmetric, we expect a country’s inpayments (export earnings) and outpayments (cost of imports) to also react to exchange rate changes asymmetrically. We demonstrate this hypothesis by considering trade between Malaysia and each of her 11 largest trading partners. We find that while the short-run effects of exchange rate changes on Malaysia’s inpayments and outpayments are asymmetric with all partners, the long-run asymmetric effects are present in less than half of the partners. The results are partner specific.

Title: Factor tariffs and income
Abstract: 
 This article examines a tariff on an imported factor of production in a small, open economy with two domestic factors. Suppose the imported factor is intensive in export production, and labor in import competing production. The factor tariff would reduce export production and trade, but raise the wage. The flexibility afforded by the three factors raises the possibility that import spending might fall more than the decrease in output. That is, the factor tariff could raise income. Inelastic demand for the imported factor and a high labor share of income favor increased income.

Title: Immigration, Economic Freedom, and Ideology
Abstract: 
 Concerns about immigrants’ impact on US institutions are not new. We find such concerns in the correspondences and writings of Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and Alexander Hamilton. More recently, Borjas argues immigrants from countries with poor institutions could substantially undermine US institutions negating all economic gains associated with immigration in terms of GDP and income. In this article, we review our research, attempting to measure immigrants’ impact on US states’ institutions. Our results don’t confirm Borjas’s hypothesis. Our results show that whatever impact immigrants may have on US institutions is neither statistically nor economically significant.

Title: The New Triangular Relationship between China, the United States, and Mexico: Implications for Intra-NAFTA Trade
Abstract: 
 Intra-regional trade since the last decades of the 20th century has been substantially affected by a group of factors, particularly through China´s increasing presence in practically all existing trading blocs. The analysis discusses China´s strategy beyond the current trade war (a process of globalization with Chinese characteristics) in terms of trade and its important role in the North American region in terms of trade and its composition. From this perspective, China has played a substantial role in understanding the increasing disintegration of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) since the 21st century.

Title: The Principal, the Agent, and the Culture: Potential Impacts of Culture on Financing Contracts
Abstract: 
 Entrepreneurs are vital for the success of any country, especially that of emerging and newly emerging economies. In this article, we look at how financial information sharing by entrepreneurs impacts access to capital. We model the relationship between entrepreneurs and lenders as that of a principal-agent and show how this agency theory perspective combined with culture of the country can present a richer understanding of the relationship between information sharing and access to capital. Implications of our findings are discussed in detail.

Title: Mexico’s Energy Regulatory Reform in the Context of a New Trilateral Agreement (NAFTA-USMCA)
Abstract: 
 This article argues that Mexico’s energy reform has allowed the country to increase trade flows among the participant countries of NAFTA-USMCA at the expense of widening its trade deficit in oil, gas, and gasoline. Actions that are currently being undertaken by Mexico’s President seem to potentially stress this deficit and are expected to weaken Mexico’s energy independence in light of the provisions of the new trilateral agreement. An analysis of convergence dynamics confirms this panorama by showing a strong relationship between Mexico’s crude oil exports to the United States, and from the latter’s exports of petroleum products to the first.

Title: Importance of Remittances Income in Mexico (1995 to 2017)
Abstract: 
 The hypothesis that Mexican remittances (1995 to 2017), one of the main sources of foreign income in Mexico, explain part of the country’s economic growth and that they are a good indicator of the welfare of the population measured through private consumption was not rejected. When applying an autoregressive vector model, there is a causal relationship between remittances and the service sector GDP, but not for industrial GDP. The Stolper–Samuelson theorem is also tested, the concentration of remittances is analyzed for each Mexican state, and the short-run forecast of remittances is presented.

Title: Region-Based Institutions and Internationalization Decisions: Evidence from Latin America
Abstract: 
 While the importance of country-level institutional influence is well-documented, we theorize and investigate how region-based institutions affect decisions of a segment of emerging market multinationals. Specifically, we examine the level of ownership pursued by Latin American multinationals during cross-border acquisitions. As predicted, increased levels of political democracy and capital investment prompted increased ownership pursued by Multilatinas. Increased levels of regulatory control were also found to spur increased ownership to a point, after which ownership was dissuaded (inverted U relationship). Further, Multilatinas are 3.4 times more likely to pursue full ownership within Latin America as opposed to an external region.

Title: Countercyclical Monetary Policy Transmission Mechanism in the U.S. and Latin American Economies over the Post-2008 Period
Abstract: 
 Except for the Chilean case, competitive pricing behaviors by commercial banks in the U.S. and other Latin American economies in the post-U.S. subprime mortgage crisis were documented. The findings for the U.S. and Mexican economies make significant contributions to the literature. The investigation also found bidirectional Granger causality between the lending rate and the Central Bank’s policy related rate and the presence of the GARCH (r, s)-M effects on the intermediation premia and their variances in each of these economies. These findings suggest that monetary policymakers intervene more frequently and by making small policy adjustments to achieve their macroeconomic objectives.

Title: Should the Caribbean Look to the East? An Assessment of Caribbean Export Potential
Abstract: 
 This study assesses the export potential of East Asia for the Caribbean within the framework of a structural gravity model. Export potential of 30% is estimated to be available to the Caribbean within East Asia. Individual markets with the greatest export potential are Singapore, China, and Japan. Various simulations of a free trade agreement between the two regions suggest the existence of even larger potential. The challenge for the Caribbean is that without significant structural changes, the region will be unable to exploit East Asia’s potential. Greater effort at the industry and policy levels will be critical for export expansion.

Title: Ciudad Verde: A New Neighborhood for Colombia
Abstract: 
 Ciudad Verde is a large-scale development south of Bogota organized under the Macro Project Law with government financial backing. While impressive for its size, more impressive is the scope of the social and economic challenges this development hopes to address for its residents – more than just a roof over their heads. Ciudad Verde provides an aspirational model for public/private partnerships in Colombia and developing countries. Background on Colombia and information about the development is followed by a description of the challenges facing this community. The applicability of this development for other contexts is provided through a macro development framework.

Title: The Importance of Subordinate Emotional Intelligence Development in the Workplace
Abstract: 
 Rather than focusing exclusively on executive leadership, this study analyzes the significance of emotional intelligence across the entire employee spectrum of organizations. The data from a significant number of studies support the premise that high levels of emotional intelligence are just as critical at the subordinate level of organizations as was originally believed to be for the upper echelon of organizations. No longer should emotional intelligence be considered a tool exclusively for the managers’ toolkit, but rather, it is a tool of resilience, adaptability, and success for all employees throughout the entire organization.

Title: Investigating the evolution of agricultural trade specialization in transition economies: A case study from Vietnam
Abstract: 
 This article investigates Vietnam’s agricultural trade specialization on the world markets by employing the Lafay index (LFI). The dynamics of LFI values from 1997 to 2014 are analyzed in three ways: OLS method, Markov matrix, and trend analysis. The results indicate that Vietnam is highly specialized in the crop and fishery sectors, while it is de-specialized in the livestock and processed-food sectors. The highly specialized sectors tend to decrease the degree of specialization, and the de-specialized sectors increase the degree of specialization. However, the general specialization pattern is not strictly obvious. The impact of the crisis in 2008 is also unclear.

Title: Bring your laboratory to my country: What is the role of foreign direct investment?
Abstract: 
 This article investigates the relationship between multinational enterprises’ (MNEs) plans for foreign direct investment (FDI) and their research and development (R&D) offshoring. To examine this issue, we focus our analysis on FDI types that are crucial to MNEs’ resource allocation. This is illustrated from the perspectives of intra-firm trade and market targeting. By employing Taiwanese manufacturing survey data and the generalized method of moments approach, we found that MNEs’ FDI intensity has significant positive effects on MNEs’ decisions to engage in R&D offshoring. Subsidiaries’ sales to local markets reveal that the relationship between the R&D offshoring and horizontal FDI is strong and positive in Taiwanese MNEs.

Title: A linkage analysis of the global value network
Abstract: 
 By viewing the global value network as an input-output system, the objective of this work is to map its direct backward and forward linkages. We provide a set of indicators that allows a cross-country comparison. Our results show that, between the years 1995 and 2011, most countries increased their integration. In 1995, there were 14 countries linked to supply chains and 14 countries linked to demand chains; in 2011, there were 10 countries linked to supply chains and 17 countries linked to demand chains. The most significant change was the rise of China as a key country.

Title: U.S.-Africa trade balance and the J-curve: An asymmetry analysis
Abstract: 
 For the first time in the body of literature, we consider bilateral trade balance models of the US with each of her 20 trading partners from Africa and try to assess the J-curve phenomenon. After applying the linear and nonlinear ARDL approaches, we find support for the J-curve effect in three partners from the linear models. However, support rises to eight partners when we shift to nonlinear models. Furthermore, we find short-run asymmetric effects of exchange rate changes in almost all models and significant long-run asymmetric effects in half of the partners.

Title: Policy Instruments, Patents, and International Technology Diffusion in a North-South Duopoly
Abstract: 
 This article analyzes the relationship between policy instruments and technology diffusion in a North-South duopoly within an inter-temporal model. The North benefits from a monopoly period with a new technology. At the end, there is then technology diffusion from the North to the South. The Northern firm files a patent in order to slow down the diffusion. This article studies the impact of several policy instruments. The results show that the Northern government’s policy instruments slow down technology diffusion, except for an import quota. The Southern government’s policy instruments accelerate the new technology diffusion.

Title: Exchange Rate Exposure and its Determinants: Evidence from Indian Firms
Abstract: 
 This article examines the determinants of the exchange rate exposure by comparing both manufacturing and service sector firms in India over the period of 2000 to 2013. First, the study finds that service sector firms are more exposed to exchange rate changes than manufacturing firms in India. Second, the results indicate that the market-to-book ratio and export are significant and positively related; however, size is negatively related to the exchange rate exposure of both the manufacturing and service sector firms. These results are robust with the estimation using a trade-weighted exchange rate.

Title: Third-Country Exchange Rate Volatility and Pakistan-U.S. Trade at Commodity Level
Abstract: 
 We add to the literature on the “Third-Country” effect by assessing the impact of rupee-dollar volatility on 116 U.S. industries that export to Pakistan and 53 U.S. industries that import from Pakistan. As two measures of “Third-Country” effects, we include volatility measures of rupee-yuan and dollar-yuan rates due to the increased role of China in the global economy. We find evidence of “Third-Country” effects in more than half of the industries. Among affected industries are many of the large U.S. exporting industries, but not large U.S. importing industries.

Title: Five-Stage Acculturation Process of Hispanic Consumers: Theory, Method, and Findings
Abstract: 
 This study aims at reproducing the acculturation process for adult consumers, introducing continuous measures to reveal the acculturation process’ dynamic nature, and identifying a transitional state. Using U.S. Hispanic consumers as a cardinal example, and six coordinated consumer samples, this study introduces continuous measures of cultural awareness and ethnic loyalty. The revision taken herein overcomes limitations of existing theories and models by better measuring two key forces shaping the acculturation process of Hispanic consumers and by finding a transitional state of resiliency, thereby showing that the process of consumer acculturation can best be reflected in a typology of five states.

Title: Saving–investment correlations and the mobility of capital in the OECD countries: New evidence from cointegration breakdown tests
Abstract: 
 This study examines the long-run relationship between domestic saving and investment and undertakes an in-depth account of short-period breaks in the cointegrating vector for 24 OECD countries. The analysis is carried out in a time-series setting to take a country-by-country account of the evidence. The end-of-sample cointegration breakdown tests are performed on both FMOLS and FIML estimates of the model. The cointegrating relationship between domestic saving and investment prevails and the implied intertemporal budget constraint holds for most countries. The cointegration breaks down for some countries during the sub-sample periods. The results are generally consistent across various cointegration breakdown tests.

Title: Gravity, Borders, and Regionalism: A Canada–US Sub-National Analysis
Abstract: 
 This article examines the extent to which trade costs influence the magnitude and direction of both east-west and north-south trade in Canada and the United States. With the aid of an alternative framework which pays attention to key estimation issues in the gravity literature, we garner further evidence in support of a decline, over time, in the home bias syndrome. Our results uphold the Linder hypothesis but refute the Heckscher-Ohlin factor endowment proposition. In light of the recently modernized trilateral trade agreement in North America, we conclude with policy lessons on buffering the Canadian economy from asymmetric trade shocks from its southern neighbor.

Title: Similarity and Competition in the Agri-Food Trade among European Mediterranean Countries
Abstract: 
 Using Eurostat and OECD data on agri-food exports, this article provides a picture of the evolution in the similarity between Italian and other European Mediterranean countries’ exports, before and after the recent financial crisis. Considering different indexes, the similarity is somewhat moderate and does not vary noticeably among the indexes when considering the EU-25 market. By contrast, a strong qualitative dissimilarity is recorded in the North American market. Overall, France and Spain appear more similar to Italy and likely to compete in the same agri-food market segments. The crisis seems associated to a slight modification of the exports structure.

Title: Modeling oil production with new empirics
Abstract: 
 This article first provides an overview of some stylized features of upstream oil production in light of recent developments in the US shale industry. Empirical observations motivate the formulation of a dynamic optimization model for oil extraction, in which an oil producer determines the optimal “intensity” of drilling wells. Given the intensity, oil production is a state variable where oil flow is characterized by a hyperbolic decline curve that captures the effects of geological constraints. Numerical simulations of the model highlight the importance of both output prices and cost efficiencies in understanding historical dynamics of shale oil production.

Title: Parallel Imports, their Deterrence and Accommodation with Service Differentiation
Abstract: 
 In the traditional economics models, parallel imports prevent a manufacturer from price discrimination involving the same good between countries. As a result, the manufacturer loses profit and tries to discourage parallel imports. The consumers in low-price countries also lose when parallel imports are legalized because the price in such countries increases. When value-added services such as a warranty and technical support are available only for the authorized product (i.e., when services are differentiated), however, the manufacturer may obtain a larger profit with parallel imports, as shown in literature. We extend this study by analyzing the case in which the manufacturer can choose the level of value-added services. It turns out that the manufacturer may even encourage parallel imports when the cost for value-added services is not too low or too high. We also show that the consumers in low-price countries may gain when parallel imports are legalized.

Title: Outward FDI and Home Country Exports: Theoretical Approaches and Empirical Evidence
Abstract: 
 This article reviews the growing body of literature that empirically analyzes the impact of outward FDI on home country exports. Focusing the analysis on the various types of studies and identifying the methods used and the countries analyzed, this study allows us to identify gaps in the literature and make suggestions for future research. Future research efforts should focus on more disaggregated data, particularly at the firm and product levels, and adopt a multilateral approach, which is essential for a complete analysis of the relationship between FDI and exports.

Title: Determinants of Intra-GCC Food Trade
Abstract: 
 Using panel data for six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries from 1995–2014, we assess the impacts of several major economic variables on intra-GCC food exports, and on GCC food exports to the world. The GCC customs union had minimal impact on intra-GCC food exports, but occasioned a significant reduction in GCC food exports. Unlike GCC food exports, intra-GCC food exports occurred among countries with similar relative factor endowments, in agreement with the Linder Hypothesis. Rising incomes and exchange rates played significant roles in both intra-GCC food exports and GCC food exports, while distance has lost its once-dominant role.

Title: R&amp;D Activities and Extensive Margins of Exports in Manufacturing Enterprises: First Evidence for Germany
Abstract: 
 This article uses a new, tailor-made data set to investigate for the first time the links between innovation activities (measured by employees active in research and development) and the extensive margins of exports (number of destination countries; number of goods exported) for manufacturing enterprises in Germany, the third largest exporter of goods on the world market. It documents that more innovative firms outperform less innovative firms at both margins of exports—they export more goods, and they export to a larger number of countries. All of these differences are statistically highly significant and large from an economic point of view.

Title: Patents and the Trans-Pacific Partnership: How TPP-style intellectual property standards may exacerbate the access to medicines problem in the East African Community
Abstract: 
 Least developed countries (LDCs) generally enjoy some exemptions under the WTO TRIPS Agreement. Despite these exemptions, patents continue to pose a major challenge to access to affordable medicines in the East African Community (EAC), especially with respect to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. The EAC is a regional economic bloc made up of six states, with five of the member states currently ranked as LDCs by the United Nations. This article argues that the implementation of the patent protection standards following the model adopted in the Trans-Pacific Partnership is likely to further exacerbate the access to medicines conundrum of the EAC.

Title: Institutions and offshoring behavior
Abstract: 
 This article tests whether institutions matter differentially across different sectors in offshoring behavior once the choice to invest abroad has already been made; i.e., how they affect trade between parent and foreign affiliates. Using data on US direct investment abroad, we find that institutional characteristics of the country and industry positively affect the volume of offshoring between US companies and their affiliates. This also depends on the type of relationship between the parent company and its foreign affiliate. The suggested argument is stronger for intermediate products, while evidence is weak for products ready for sale.

Title: Japan’s trade agreements aren’t “window dressing” after all
Abstract: 
 We analyze eight of the 15 existing Japanese economic partnership agreements (EPAs) from 1997 to 2012. First, we construct bilateral measures of trade barriers for Japan and its partners using input-output and trade data. Next, we conduct panel regressions using those measures and find that when Japan forms an EPA, the tariff-equivalent barrier between the two countries falls approximately 2% to 3%. Contrary to conventional wisdom, this suggests that Japan’s EPAs may not be merely “window dressing” after all. This has implications for larger trade agreements in the works, such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP).

Title: Why do member countries choose not to participate in the World Trade Organization’s Dispute Settlement Body?
Abstract: 
 This study examines non-participatory membership in the WTO’s Dispute Settlement Body. It uses an extensive form game that models trade and dispute settlement, costs for litigation, and prisoner’s dilemma-like payoffs. The study finds that, with the same litigation costs, there is a pure subgame perfect Nash equilibrium where both states will engage in protectionism and avoid filing. If one state has a higher litigation cost, it can be locked out of recourse and be worse off than it would be ex ante. These results, however, do not capture third-party litigation; neither do they examine the inability to impose countermeasures.

Title: The Effect of Real Exchange Rate Volatility on the Trade of Educational Services
Abstract: 
 This article finds that high levels of real exchange rate volatility between two trading partners significantly decrease the amount of educational services traded. Many academic institutions are actively looking to expand exports of educational services as a means of increasing revenues. Internal policies that reduce real exchange rate uncertainty may help encourage trade of educational services between countries where volatility is high. The discovery that real exchange rate volatility serves as a significant barrier to attracting educational export opportunities to certain countries underscores an obstacle that should and/or could be addressed as academic institutions strive to expand their international enrollments.

Title: Management and Business Research on Commercial Diplomacy: Examining Trends and Themes
Abstract: 
 This article reviews the literature of commercial diplomacy during the period 1960–2014 from a management angle and is organized around four major themes: (1) government’s export/trade promotion function; (2) institutional/organizational arrangements; (3) managerial roles and activities; and (4) interaction between commercial diplomats and businesses. A complementary quantitative analysis tracing current research trends reveals the emergence of relevant publications at the end of the 1970s and a real increase after 2000. It also confirms the relative scarcity of commercial diplomacy literature focusing on the business and management dimension. Gaps in current literature are identified, and suggestions for further research are presented.

Title: Absorptive Capacity and FDI Spillovers: Evidence from Quantile Regressions
Abstract: 
 Using Turkish firm-level data for the period 2003–2010, we look at the relationship between foreign direct investment, absorptive capacity, and spillovers at a disaggregated level, and analyze whether firms operating in different quantiles of the productivity distribution respond differently to foreign presence and changes in absorptive capacity. The results reveal that, for a given level of foreign presence, it pays to increase the absorptive capacity of firms operating in lower quantiles. When it comes to inter-industry spillovers, it is counterproductive to increase the absorptive capacity of firms already operating in higher quantiles, as this diverts resources from other productive activities.

Title: On Market Integration and Product R&amp;D: A Monopoly Case
Abstract: 
 Applying a monopoly model with endogenous quality choice to the case of multiple national markets, we consider the effect of market integration on product R&amp;D incentives (i.e., quality-improving), profit, and consumer surplus. We demonstrate that the effect of market integration depends on the difference in income distributions between two countries and the level of trade cost. In particular, if the difference in income distributions between two countries is large (small) and/or trade cost is low (high), market integration can decrease (increase) the level of product quality and social welfare in the two countries.

Title: Effects of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership on Tunisian FDI Inflows
Abstract: 
 This article focuses on the effect of regional integration agreements (RIA) on foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows to developing countries, particularly on the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement signed by the Tunisian government in 1995. The econometric study is based on an extended gravity model treated with the Heckman technique to account for censorship of the explained variable. The main findings are that traditional economic determinants are still the main motivation for foreign investors to invest in Tunisia and that the regional integration process had no effect on this choice.

Title: Cargo Transport and Economic Development in the Chihuahua-Albuquerque Corridor: An Emerging Binational “Megapolitan” Area?
Abstract: 
 The U. S. Department of Transportation highlights the “megaregion,” a collection of multiple metropolitan areas that experience high volumes of cargo transport between them. Researchers further identify the smaller “megapolitan area,” comprised of two or three metropolitan areas strongly connected by rail and highway. To shed light on these definitions, this article addresses the expanding bi-national economic corridor extending from Chihuahua to Albuquerque, whose core is the Paso del Norte (El Paso, Ciudad Juárez) metropolitan region. The Chihuahua-Albuquerque corridor exhibits signs of becoming a megapolitan area, due to logistics and other economic activities that increasingly bind its metropolitan areas.

Title: The Rotten Apple: Tax Avoidance in Ireland
Abstract: 
 The European Commission found that Ireland gave Apple preferential tax treatment which amounted to $14.5 billion in unpaid taxes between 2003 and 2014. Due to Apple’s tax havens in Ireland, they have taken advantage of U.S. and Irish tax regulations. However, the issue in controversy is whether there was, in fact, a special deal between Apple and Ireland, and whether the European Commission has the authority to make such claims. To answer this question, we explore the legal and ethical issues of using tax havens and how Apple’s stakeholders are affected by Apple’s complex organizational structure.

Title: The Mexican Interest Rate Pass-Through in the Post-U.S. Subprime Mortgage Crisis Era
Abstract: 
 This study investigates the nature of the Mexican interest rate pass-through during the post-U.S. subprime mortgage crisis. The empirical results reveal a very high short-run and an almost complete long-run interest rate pass-through. The bounds test indicates a long-term relationship between countercyclical monetary policy and market rates. Notwithstanding the rigid inflation targeting set by the Mexican Central Bank in the very concentrated Mexican market and its openness to foreign competition, the Mexican open economy is very small compared to the U.S. economy. Despite these conditions, the Mexican Central Bank has been very effective in conducting its countercyclical monetary policy.

Title: Estimates of undervalued import of EU Countries and the U.S. from the Democratic Republic of Congo during 2000–2010
Abstract: 
 This study estimates the degree of trade mispricing in the form of undervalued import from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to the European Union (EU) and the U.S. between 2000 and 2010 based on a method using an inter-quartile price-filter approach. The study estimates that the undervalued amount of EU import from the DRC is €9.95 billion, exceeding the declared total import value of €8.06 billion. Almost all of the underpricing in the EU import from the DRC, 98% of the undervalued amount, is through underpriced non-industrial diamonds imported by Belgium and cobalt ore and mattes imported by Finland.

Title: Mexico, NAFTA, and beyond
Abstract: 
 NAFTA has been a positive agreement for its three member countries. However, Mexico has not taken full advantage of the potential benefits of trade to accelerate its rate of economic growth. To do so, Mexico would need to design and implement complementary policies, such as strengthening the rule of law, making functional a dysfunctional public sector, promoting investment and innovation, and combating informality.

Title: Is NAFTA really advantageous for Mexico?
Abstract: 
 This article suggests that the much trumpeted US trade deficit with Mexico is only an accounting matter concealing the real story behind the transactions between these two countries and Canada. The statistical exercise performed here shows that the deficit has not made Mexico a net winner from NAFTA. On the contrary, Mexico has had a progressive deterioration of its competitiveness with respect to its exports. The deficit in a trading scheme such as NAFTA is especially healthy for the US because it reflects the proper functioning of the intra-industry trade that is performed by its big companies.

Title: The effect of import competition on Brazil’s manufacturing labor market in the 2000s: Are imports from China different?
Abstract: 
 This study uses the increased openness of the Brazilian economy in the 2000s to assess the impacts of trade on its manufacturing sector. Using household data, this study’s results imply that a higher import penetration reduces the employment level in manufacturing and fosters labor reallocation across industries. The magnitude of these effects changes according to the Chinese share of these imports. I find no evidence that trade exposure affected the shares of self-employed and informal workers. Finally, the new macroeconomic policy implemented by the Brazilian government in 2008 altered the way in which trade exposure affected manufacturing labor market outcomes.

Title: Trade liberalization and its effects on labor fluidity: Evidence from Colombia
Abstract: 
 This article investigates the effects of trade liberalization on labor fluidity. We use a panel of Colombian firms for the period of 2008 to 2015. There is evidence that the effects of the degree of protection from international trade are dynamically heterogeneous. Before the reduction in tariffs, the relationship between tariffs and all measures of labor fluidity is negative. Once the reduction in tariffs is fully implemented, firms in more protected industries create more jobs than are destroyed, and in this way, these firms contribute to increasing labor market fluidity.

Title: Financial reporting timeliness and the value relevance of earnings: Evidence from banks in the MENA countries
Abstract: 
 This study examines whether financial reporting lag improves the value relevance of past and current earnings for future earnings. Examining a sample of listed banks from 12 MENA countries over the 1999 to 2014 period, the empirical analysis reveals that a change in the current stock price of banks with a higher financial reporting lag contains more information about their future earnings than does a change in the stock price with a lower financial reporting lag. This association is weaker for larger and riskier banks operating in an active stock market with significant Internet use and disclosure and investor protection.

Title: Insurance development and international trade in developing countries
Abstract: 
 This article analyzes the impact of insurance development on international trade for a sample of 52 developing countries over the period of 1990 to 2014. The results from the pooled mean group estimator indicate that the countries with a better developed insurance sector have a comparative advantage in international trade in the long term. The sample is then divided into low- and lower-middle-income countries and upper-middle-income countries. For the upper-middle-income countries, the development of non-life insurance plays a much more important role than it does for low- and lower-middle-income countries.

Title: A dynamic model for an optimal specific import tariff
Abstract: 
 The existing literature on optimal specific import tariff only compares the pre- and the post-tariff market equilibriums to account for the efficiency losses. However, when the government imposes a tariff, it affects the import quantity, hence pushing the market out of equilibrium. The supply and the demand of the commodity on which a tariff is imposed then adjust over time to bring the new equilibrium. This article develops a dynamic model and derives an optimal specific import tariff path minimizing the efficiency losses during the adjustment process as well as the post-tariff equilibrium subject to a tariff revenue constraint.

Title: Export diversification, mean-reversion of exports, and stability of export–growth causality
Abstract: 
 This study proposes a five-step statistical procedure to examine a linkage among export diversification, mean-reversion of exports, and stability of the export–growth causality. This linkage was assessed for France, Norway, and Switzerland between 1980Q1 and 2016Q4. The findings indicated that the mean-reversion tendency of the export sectors in France and Switzerland was stronger than in Norway, which highlighted the important role of export activities for economic growth in France and Switzerland. Also, the causal relationship between exports and economic growth in Norway was found to be more unstable than in France, but more stable than in Switzerland.

Title: Foreign Market Entry Mode Research: A Review and Research Agenda
Abstract: 
 This article gives a retrospective look at the main determinants of foreign market entry modes and examines the variables and conditions used in empirical studies in this stream of research. We found that there is an “analytical context hazard” in past studies. The findings suggest: first, future research should focus on developing and extending theories with reference to strategy dimension and market/industry environment; second, the interrelationship between the main entry mode determinants should be figured out; third, attention has to be paid to the entry modes of firms from non-developed economies in research.

Title: The United States Free Trade Agreements: How Successful Have They Been?
Abstract: 
 The United States has entered into Free Trade Agreements with 20 countries. Did these agreements boost trade—especially exports—beyond that experienced by a control group of 80 other countries? Did the efforts and costs in implementing and maintaining these agreements yield incremental trade? Discussing five attenuating factors and introducing a method utilizing compound annual growth rates, we compared the pre- and post-implementation trade growth of the agreements, and also against the control group. Results are mixed and some agreements disappoint, possibly with basis in an attenuating factor. The overall effect on U.S. exports from the agreements is low.

Title: Topological Properties of the International Trade Network Using Modified Measures
Abstract: 
 This article modifies several social network analysis measures to get a more accurate picture of the topology of international trade. Modifications improve estimations of actual network relationships by avoiding leaving out any trade links, considering directionality of trade, recognizing product-level networks and differences in relative importance of countries, products, and links by weighing the measures. These methods are adopted to modify measures of reciprocity, multiplexity, clustering, degree, betweenness, and closeness centrality. Changes in the trade network over the most recent dozen years are analyzed and several observations are made about trends.

Title: Relative Trade Preferential Margin and Aid for Trade Allocation
Abstract: 
 This article investigates the interplay between non-reciprocal trade preferences and Aid for Trade (AfT) by examining the extent to which relative preferential margins (RPM) enjoyed by recipient countries affect AfT flows supplied by donors. The empirical results suggest that the RPM exerts a significant and positive impact on the bilateral AfT inflows that recipient countries enjoy from donors. In addition, when this impact is lower, the higher the recipient countries’ level of economic development. Furthermore, the analysis indicates that the influence of RPM on AfT is dependent on non-AfT (i.e., the aid flows allocated to the non-trade sector) allocated to recipient countries.

Title: Exports-led growth or growth-led exports in the case of China and Pakistan: An empirical investigation from the ARDL and Granger causality approach
Abstract: 
 There are various factors that determine and influence economic growth. From these, one of the most significant factors is exports, which play a vital role in the economic growth and development of a country. Trade theory states that exports enhance the growth of a domestic economy in various ways. This study attempts to empirically investigate the existence of the exports-led-growth (ELG) or growth-led-exports (GLE) hypotheses by adopting comparatively more contemporary techniques as compared to earlier classical approaches for China and Pakistan for the period of 1980 to 2015. The study found the existence of ELG for both China and Pakistan.

Title: Are China and the United States in a Competitive Zero-Sum Economic Game?
Abstract: 
 China has implemented a model of state capitalism while the growth of the United States in the same time period occurred using a market-driven liberalism model. While evidence indicates that China’s state-owned companies are less innovative and productive than their private competitors, China’s control pattern of free-market competition has been amazingly successful. This article shows that there are distinct differences between China’s state capitalism model and the U.S. economic model. China and the U.S. are not competitors in a zero-sum game. The dynamic between the American and Chinese economies continues to develop into a more mature relationship than an outright competition.

Title: (Ignoring) the Prosperity Playbook
Abstract: 
 Why are some countries poor? It comes down to good governance: secure property rights and policies that reduce transaction costs. In turn, this means the rule of law: limits on executive authority and a government that impartially enforces contracts, and thus abstains from picking winners. It also means a government that solves market failures. Yet the governments of developing countries often do the opposite. The proximate reasons are the endurance of state monopolies, policies that cripple the rural sector, and an over-dependence on natural resources. The deeper reason is rulers’ need to raise revenues in short order to survive.

Title: Modeling the Expansion of Oil Production in South Texas and Mexico
Abstract: 
 This study develops a dynamic output adjustment model that characterizes the expansion of U.S. oil production firms into Mexico. Using a Cobb-Douglas framework that differentiates U.S. and Mexican plants, we derive the comparative, static, risk-free, dual-country production levels for the multinational operations in each of the two countries when there are no capital constraints and perfect information. Given capital and labor constraints on Mexican production, the article uses an optimal control framework to derive the optimal production levels over time during a fixed adjustment period. This provides a pragmatic strategy for planning a growth path for investment in foreign operations.

Title: Subpar Performance of the Mexican Economy in the NAFTA Era: Plausible Explanations
Abstract: 
 Since 1994, the Mexican peso/U.S. dollar monthly real exchange rate conforms to the Purchasing Power Parity Theory. Evidently, Mexico has opened its economy and moved away from pre-NAFTA exchange rate interventionist policies. Mexico has tamed inflation—since 1999, the inflation rate has been stable relative to the U.S. inflation rate. Notwithstanding these impressive accomplishments, Mexico’s real GDP growth rate has lagged behind that of several Latin American countries. It is likely that the perceived state of lawlessness has dampened foreign investment and tourism. Additionally, higher labor costs relative to China have adversely affected manufacturing sector exports.

Title: Capital Account Liberalization and the Politics of Access to Finance in Latin America
Abstract: 
 Does capital account liberalization improve access to finance? A rich body of evidence suggests that it does, but there are many empirical discrepancies to this relationship, especially in Latin America. When the financial sector is highly concentrated, the incentives of banks and governments are aligned to enlarge the opportunities to gain from financial openness by suppressing policies that reform the domestic financial sector. The result is that capital account liberalization that occurs in such a context should improve access to credit for governments but impede access to credit among private firms and households.

Title: Development Traps and Escaping Development Traps: What Can We Learn from Freedom of Information Laws?
Abstract: 
 In this talk, I discuss my previous research on the relationship between political competition and the passage of Freedom of Information (FOI) laws. In this previous work, using data on Mexican states, I find that political competition is an important determinant of the speed of passage of FOI laws. I then discuss a larger research project that examines all FOI requests made to the Mexican national government and investigate descriptive statistics related to ProMéxico, Mexico’s trade promotion agency. I conclude by arguing that FOI laws should be employed more frequently in the study of international trade.

Title: Does Deep Integration Promote Trade Development?
Abstract: 
 Based on the Design of Trade Agreement database, which includes almost all free trade agreements (FTAs) after World War II, this article presents a comprehensive analysis of the development of FTAs. With the increased number of FTAs, more and more clauses in the agreements are focusing on non-tariff trade barriers and the coordination of cross-border measures. This article tests FTAs’ effect on trade. The signing and deepening of FTAs has increased foreign trade, especially in the long run. Furthermore, FTAs have a slightly more significant positive effect on imports than they do on exports.

Title: Inequality and trade: Some insights from the history of economic thought
Abstract: 
 Perceptions of income inequality and social insecurity are increasing in advanced economies of the North-Western hemisphere. They are widely associated with offshoring and related phenomena of the transnationalization of production and finance. This article examines the capacity and limits of standard trade theory in explaining the links between trade and inequality. It suggests avenues for gaining further insights by taking recourse to the larger inventory of theories and concepts in the history of economic thought.

Title: Inequality, prosperity, and fiscal policy: A case for caution in interpreting income distributions
Abstract: 
 This article examines recent developments in the long-term measurement of top income shares for several countries. While several works have used these data to suggest a causal link between inequality and fiscal policy, I argue for greater caution when asserting this prescriptive link. Issues of how we interpret measured inequality as well as the reliability of underlying source data suggest unresolved uncertainties about the long-posited connection between taxation and inequality.

Title: J-curve in Turkish bilateral trade: A nonlinear approach
Abstract: 
 This study aims to bring further evidence on recent developments of the J-curve literature by employing linear and nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approaches for Turkish bilateral trade data with respect to 18 European Union member countries over the period from 1990Q1 to 2017Q3. Findings obtained from the nonlinear ARDL model yield more support for the J-curve phenomenon compared to the linear model. This result provides evidence of an asymmetrical impact of appreciations and depreciations on the Turkish bilateral trade balances and suggests that allowing for nonlinearity in the adjustment process gives better results in terms of the J-curve effect.

Title: Open Economy Dynamics in a Floating Exchange Rate Developing Country Context
Abstract: 
 This article develops a wavelet-based control model to simulate fiscal, monetary, and real exchange rate scenarios in an open economy developing country with an inflation-targeting regime. We use South African macro data to jointly simulate optimal fiscal and monetary policy under varying scenarios for real exchange rate stability with interest rate parity. As real exchange rate stability increases, the model simulates the effects on the trade balance under both a constant and depreciating real exchange rate. We find that short-term cycle stability problems are somewhat mitigated by allowing the real exchange rate to depreciate.

Title: Problems of developing and transition economies
Abstract: 
 The Solow growth model was extended to account for the graft by corrupt individuals from domestic savings, which could have been used for productive capital accumulation, the productive stock of capital to be augmented by foreign direct investment (FDI), and the expatriation by FDI international investors. The results indicate that higher levels of FDI inflows, savings rates, and more advanced technology embedded productive capital would result in higher steady-state per capita productive capital to labor ratio. The graft from domestic savings, expatriation of FDI, and growth rate of labor negatively affect steady-state per capita productive capital to labor ratio.

Title: Trade (exports) as an opportunity for Bangladesh: A VECM analysis
Abstract: 
 This article examines the effects of trade (exports) on the economic growth of Bangladesh from 1986 to 2016, using the application of a Johansen cointegration and vector error correction model. The empirical findings exhibit that trade (exports) has a unique long-run equilibrium relationship with the economic growth of Bangladesh. The short-run results also display a robust causality between variables. This study suggests that exports play a major role in the growth of Bangladesh. Policymakers should promote the export of goods and services, especially manufactured goods, in the long term, in order to possibly reduce the trade deficit and rapidly stimulate the growth of Bangladesh.

Title: How to talk to an expatriate
Abstract: 
 Fueled by increasing global mobility, there is an ever-growing need for expatriates. This increasing demand poses many challenges for organizations to motivate their employees to successfully complete international assignments. This study addresses this issue by offering a new perspective on how effective leader communication may serve as a tool to increase expatriates&#x2019; cross-cultural motivation and boost their chances of success. All three dimensions of motivating language are proposed to have the ability to enhance an expatriate&#x2019;s cross-cultural intrinsic motivation, as well as his or her cross-cultural self-efficacy. The implications of the framework, as well as future research, are discussed.

Title: The impact of the new protectionist stance in US trade policy on selected German companies in Mexico
Abstract: 
 Previous studies on the impact of the new protectionist stance of the United States have focused mainly on the imposition of the controversial border tax. This research advances the understanding of the possible impacts of the tightening of the rules of origin and the imposition of the most-favored nation tariffs on manufacturing companies. The findings show a negative impact from the protectionist measures on businesses by increasing costs per unit and decreasing the gross margin. The results suggest that those additional costs could be passed on to the final buyers, raising the price level by more than previously assumed.

Title: Inter-Industry Labor Mobility and Lobbying for Trade Protection
Abstract: 
 This article investigates how inter-industry labor mobility affects industry lobbying for trade protection when foreign multinationals increase production and sales in the U.S. The level of inter-industry labor mobility is a critical issue to an industry because investment-receiving sectors draw labor from the rest of the economy, thus reducing the supply or increasing the price of labor available to an industry. I hypothesize that sectors employing less sector-specific labor will be more likely to lobby for trade protection when investment-receiving sectors draw labor to expand production, ceteris paribus. An empirical test confirms my hypothesis.

Title: Globalization and Economic Growth in Developing Countries: Evidence from Sub-Saharan Africa
Abstract: 
 This article investigates how globalization affects economic growth in developing countries. We use a dynamic growth model with data from 42 Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries, covering the period from 1980 to 2012. The evidence indicates an inverted U curve type response, robust to changes in globalization measures and to alternative model specifications. Our findings are promising and support the view that the relationship between globalization and economic growth is not linear for SSA. Accordingly, SSA countries have control of trade openness, particularly for the import level of consumption goods to boost their economic growth through international trade.

Title: Price Transmission in the Swiss Wheat Market: Does Sophisticated Border Protection Make the Difference?
Abstract: 
 This article discusses horizontal wheat price transmission from international markets to the domestic Swiss market. The Swiss case is peculiar due to the presence of different border policies segmenting the domestic wheat market according to its use: food or feed. Vector Error Correction (VEC) models with structural breaks are estimated. They account for these policy instruments and their adaptation during periods of market exuberance, and acknowledge linkages between the two market segments. Estimation results suggest that the border policy regime isolates the domestic wheat market for feed use, while, in the food case, the domestic price still responds to international markets.

Title: A Synthesis of the Effects of Exchange Rate Volatility on International Trade: A Meta-Regression Analysis
Abstract: 
 This article surveys literature that investigates the effects of exchange rate volatility on international trade. We perform meta-regression analysis on 41 studies with 807 estimates. We show that the empirical works exhibit substantial publication selection and show a significant genuine exchange rate volatility effect on trade flows after correction of publication bias. In addition, the literature reveals a pronounced heterogeneity with respect to model specifications, samples, time horizons, and countries’ characteristics. These findings are supported by separate assessment of primary studies with, respectively, total exports and sectoral exports as the dependent variable.

Title: Export-Led Growth in the EU: Where and What to Export?
Abstract: 
 In the aftermath of the Great Recession, exports emerge as a meaningful source of growth. In this context, using a panel of 26 European Union members, we assess if and how the product and the destination structures of exports shape the growth dynamics for European countries. We find that growth is fostered through export specialization in high-value-added products, such as manufacturing and high-technology, and by export diversification across partners. However, enlarging the portfolio of partners, mainly to less developed and more distant countries, has negative impacts on growth. Unambiguously, relative concentration of exports should be directed towards higher growth countries.

Title: Climate Change and the Trading System: Implications of the Trans-Pacific Partnership
Abstract: 
 We consider the climate action policy implications of the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The shift of trade rule-making from the World Trade Organization to mega-regional trade negotiations, such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, is not positive for effective climate action, which will have to be multilateral in scope, collective in nature, and policy-activist in design. The mega-regionals are plurilateral and exclusionary in scope, competitive in nature, and policy-restrictive in design. Their investment and competition regimes, given teeth by investor-state dispute settlement mechanisms, will militate against the evolution of a coherent and transparent body of climate-policy-friendly case law.

Title: OECD Export Credit Agencies: Supplementing Short-Term Export Credit Insurance during the 2008 Financial Crisis
Abstract: 
 The 2008 financial crisis impacted international trade in part due to decreases in trade finance and export credit insurance. This article shows that Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) member states used their public Export Credit Agencies (ECAs) to supplement the lack of private short-term export credit insurance as a means to increase trade. All OECD states, except Greece and Estonia, either increased the capacity of their ECAs to provide short-term export credit insurance, or they developed new products for this purpose. More generally, states that changed their short-term export credit insurance programs had major trading partners with defaults.

Title: Price Effects of the United States (US) Antidumping Investigations in a Non-Market Economy Case: Vietnam’s Shrimp Exports to the US
Abstract: 
 This article investigates the impact of the US antidumping investigations on the prices received by Vietnamese shrimp exporters. Vietnamese shrimp was the target of an antidumping petition filed in 2003 and Vietnam was treated as a non-market economy country. The estimates indicate that, after the final determination, Vietnamese exporters increased their prices by much more than 100% of the antidumping duties in an attempt to eliminate future duties. In addition, no evidence was found for a significant difference in the exchange rate pass-through of affected products. This result differs from the cases of the market economy examined in previous studies.

Title: The Impact of Exchange Rate on US Imports of Salmon: A Two-Stage Demand Model Approach
Abstract: 
 This study investigates the impact of the exchange rate on trade flows by using a two-stage demand model. The elasticity of exchange rate pass-through (ERPT) derived from the model is determined by demand elasticity, excess supply elasticity, elasticity of substitution, and market share. The empirical case is the US salmon import market. For the primary export countries, the elasticity of ERPT ranges between 0.37 and 0.62 in the long run. Although the empirical results suggest a partial ERPT in this market, there is no evidence of an asymmetric ERPT, as revealed by the simulated ERPT elasticities.

Title: Trade and Welfare Impacts of the Frozen Orange Juice Tariff Rate Quota of South Africa
Abstract: 
 The article analyzes the trade and welfare impacts of the EU’s liberalization of frozen orange juice tariff rate quota (TRQ) exports from South Africa to the EU implemented under the Trade, Development and Cooperation Agreement (TDCA). Based on an approach that employs a fill parameter to extrapolate unfilled to filled TRQs in the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) model, the study determines forgone quota rents not captured in the welfare measured in equivalent variation (EV). The results indicate that the forgone quota rent is US$293/ton and US$333/ton at TDCA full implementation and at the end of the TDCA, respectively.

Title: Competitiveness of ACP Sugar Exporters in the Global Market
Abstract: 
 We employ the normalized revealed comparative advantage index to examine the competitiveness of the African, Caribbean, and Pacific (ACP) countries in the global sugar market. Results indicate that most countries had a comparative advantage in the global sugar market during the period of 1961 to 2013. Further, most countries experienced declining comparative advantage over time, except for some African countries that emerged from initial states of extreme comparative disadvantage to marginal comparative (dis)advantage. Results further reveal structural changes and convergence in comparative advantage among ACP countries, induced by the coming into force of the Lomé Convention.

Title: Factors Influencing Climate-Smart Goods Trade in Some Developing Countries in the Middle East and North Africa Region: An Application of the Spatial Panel Model
Abstract: 
 Climate change is an important threat to agriculture and food security. The trade of climate-smart goods (CSGs) develops climate-friendly technologies, which could reduce the negative effects of climate change. This article aims to investigate the determinants of CSGs trade in some Middle East and North Africa countries. For this purpose, spatial panel models were estimated during the 2002 to 2016 period. Our findings showed that there are spatial effects in CSGs trade, indicating CSGs trade in one country affects neighboring countries’ trade. It’s recommended that governments implement appropriate strategies, including rail, road, and air network improvements, to reduce transaction costs.

Title: The Determinants of Intra-Oceanian Imports from 2001 to 2015: A Panel Gravity Model Approach
Abstract: 
 This article aims at identifying the main determinants of annual bilateral imports flows amongst 23 Oceanian territories from 2001 to 2015. The analysis quantifies the impact of adherence to the World Trade Organization and Pacific Islands Countries Trade Agreement on the import flows. When adherence to only one trade organization is considered, estimates establish a discrepancy between the official aims of trade agreements and their effective impact on bilateral imports flows. Adherence to only one trade agreement has a negative impact. However, when adherence to both trade agreements is jointly considered, estimates establish a positive impact from agreement adherence.

Title: The Causal Relationships between International Trade and International Tourism in NAFTA countries: Applications of Time and Frequency Domain Approaches
Abstract: 
 This study aims to investigate the causal and long-run relationships between international trade and international tourism among the NAFTA countries for the USA-Canada and USA-Mexico pairs, bilaterally. To this aim, the causality in the time and frequency domain approaches was applied over the period of 1997:M12 to 2017:M02. For the cointegration relations and cointegration coefficients, the bounds testing approach and autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) method were applied, respectively. The overall empirical results indicate that international trade may promote international tourism and vice versa since these two global economic phenomena interact with each other over time.

Title: Transactions Costs Perspective of Non-Tariff Barriers to Trade: An Analysis of Food and Agricultural Exports from Guyana Using Survey Data
Abstract: 
 This article investigates factors that raise the transaction costs associated with complying with non-tariff regulations with an emphasis on the quality of contracting by public institutions responsible for enforcing compliance with regulations. A priori, a conceptual model is developed that identifies and tests factors that can make the compliance process unnecessarily burdensome. This is applied to 74 exporters of food and agriculture products from Guyana. The results are analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and indicate that transaction costs largely range from low to medium. However, delays are a major concern and emanate from institutional inefficiencies, which necessitates capacity building.

Title: Economic Rationale for National Treatment in Intellectual Property Protection When Countries Have Different Innovation Technologies
Abstract: 
 National treatment (NT), a practice of governments granting the same patent protection to all inventors regardless of their national origin, is a main feature of international agreements on intellectual property rights (IPRs). In this study, we examine the economic rationale for NT in international IPR agreements. By comparing the equilibrium of a noncooperative patent policy game under a non-NT regime and that under an NT regime, we find that NT in IPR protection reduces global welfare when countries have different innovation-generating technologies. We suggest that a role of NT may be to enhance fairness among countries.

Title: Main Determinants of Opening Antidumping Cases: A Poisson Analysis Using Panel Data
Abstract: 
 This article uses a panel-data approach to analyze the main determinants of opening antidumping (AD) processes. Our results revealed that reductions in imports, foreign income growth, worsening of domestic income, currency devaluation, and current account surplus could reduce AD cases. Upper-income countries, which adopt high import tariffs and are frequent targets of AD, as well as large exporters of metal, chemicals, and plastic products, are initiating more AD. Since AD should prevent disloyal trade practices and there are specific rules for its use, such influence should not occur. Thus, AD legislation should be revised to discourage the misuse/overuse of AD.

Title: Corruption, FDI, and Growth: An Empirical Investigation into the Tunisian Context
Abstract: 
 The aim of this article is to investigate the dynamic relationship between corruption, investment, and economic growth in Tunisia within a multivariate framework. In the empirical section, we use a data span from 1976 to 2015, and we perform a vector error correction model and cointegartion technique. The main findings of this study show that corruption hampered Tunisia’s economic growth in the short run and the long run as well. Corruption could be the main reason for the slowdown of investment activities and the low inflow of capital. Hence, more efforts are needed to fight corruption in Tunisia.

Title: The Impact of Cultural Proximity and Digital Dissimilarity on Cultural Trade
Abstract: 
 We differentiate between cultural proximity and digital dissimilarity indicators and study the volume of bilateral trade of cultural goods between European economies. The results show that economic sizes and the geographical distance explain a high degree of variance in the bilateral volume of trade. We show that cultural proximity influences the bilateral trade of cultural goods. Digital dissimilarity shows no significant effect on cultural trade, while the use of the Internet significantly increases the volume of trade of cultural goods. Cultural proximity remains relevant on the volume of the bilateral trade, which outweighs the effects from digital dissimilarity.

Title: South-South Migration: With Whom You Trade Matters
Abstract: 
 In this article, we empirically investigate the role of regional trade agreements as a potential indirect determinant of international migration on a set of 37 Latin American and Caribbean countries between 1990 and 2015. First, we pre-process the data prior to the estimation using a matching sample technique – entropy – and control for observable characteristics. After that, we use a gravity model for migration and solve the zero migration stocks problem by using the Poisson pseudo-maximum likelihood (PPML) approach. Our results deliver consistent estimates and suggest a positive relationship between regional trade agreements and bilateral migration stocks.

Title: An Examination of Palm Oil Export Competitiveness through Price-nominal Exchange Rate
Abstract: 
 This article analyzed 26 countries’ long-term relationship between the nominal exchange rate, international palm oil prices, and exports competitiveness from 2007 to 2015. Unit root tests, Kao-Padroni joint tests, a fully modifiable ordinary least squares, and a dynamic ordinary least squares model were used. It was found that an increase in the exchange rate favored palm oil exports’ competitiveness as well as a decrease in its price. This study determines the competitiveness of crude and refined palm oil exports through non-conventional statistical analysis.

Title: Globalization and Gender Inequalities in Sub-Saharan Africa
Abstract: 
 This study aims to examine the gender inequalities effects of globalization and its dimensions using data on Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries for the period of 1990 to 2016. The study distinguishes de jure and de facto aspects of globalization and appliessecond-generation panel data tests to diagnose the spatial dependence between our sample countries in order to adopt an appropriate methodology for its suitable handling. We find that, overall, globalization reduces gender inequality in SSA. The study also finds that both de jure and de facto aspects of globalization reduce gender inequality in SSA.

Title: Exchange Rate and Sectoral Trade Balance Dynamics: Empirical Evidence from Eastern Africa Panel Data
Abstract: 
 This study examines the effect of the real exchange rate (RER) on the three sectors' trade balances in East Africa by using ARDL procedures. The linear ARDL results show that RER depreciation improves the manufacturing and mining trade balances, but worsens the agricultural trade balance in the long run. However, nonlinear ARDL results show an absence of the asymmetric effect of RER on trade balances, except the manufacturing sector. Heterogeneity effects can be obscured by the weak effect of RER on the aggregate trade balance. Our results suggest that sectoral investigation is crucial in analyzing the effects of RER on trade dynamics.

Title: Growth Spillovers to Sub-Saharan Africa: The Role of Trade
Abstract: 
 This article examines the role of trade in growth spillovers from the major world economies (the EU, US, and China) and top trading partners to Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries. The period of analysis covers from 1981 to 2015. According to the findings, during the 1981 to 2000 period, only the EU had positive and significant growth spillovers to SSA countries. During the 2001 to 2015 period, only the US seemed to have a significant growth spillover effect. On the other hand, growth spillovers to SSA countries from their top 10 trading partners were significant in both periods.

Title: International Trade and Economic Growth: The Nexus, the Evidence, and the Policy Implications for South Africa
Abstract: 
 We revisit the trade-growth nexus for the specific case of South Africa. In recent years, policymakers are focusing more on export growth strategies to stimulate growth prospects. Recent experience in some emerging economies, however, suggests that imports have the potential to positively impact economic growth. Our empirical evidence supports this: We observe that controlling for exogenous shocks including exchange rate volatility and global economic sentiment is necessary for robust and sustainable long-run export-driven economic and import growth. The short-run dynamics further underscores the importance of imports to growth. The significance of our findings and policy implications are discussed.

Title: Evolution of the Productive Capabilities of Mexico: Economic Complexity Analysis for the Development of Special Economic Zones (SEZ)
Abstract: 
 This article aims to identify the capabilities that can enhance structural change at the state level in Mexico. Specifically, we analyze the evolution of the productive capabilities from 1999 to 2014 in the five less developed southern states where the federal government wants to generate development poles. Using the economic complexity methodology and estimating the network of relatedness, our findings indicate that these states have been specialized in non-complex capabilities, and that states specialized in capabilities with greater betweenness centrality tend to have greater diversification. Finally, we identify the manufacturing capabilities with the greatest potential to trigger structural change.

Title: Can Employees Motivate Themselves? The Link between Peer Motivating Language and Employee Outcomes
Abstract: 
 This study examines whether employee outcomes can be affected through motivating language use among peers, and if these peers, therefore, may substitute the need for a leader’s use of ML. It proposes, validates a scale for, and tests the peer ML construct. Second, it develops and tests a model that highlights the comprehensive nature of both leader and peer ML and employee outcomes. Lastly, it examines its generalizability by testing it in the USA and India. Results show that peer ML has the potential to positively influence employee outcomes. However, it serves as a substitute for the Indian sample only.

Title: Impact of Climate Risk on Firms’ Use of Trade Credit: International Evidence
Abstract: 
 We examine the association between climate risk and trade credit. We predict that firms exposed to climate risk-driven liquidity shocks prefer to use less trade credit. Using the Global Climate Risk Index of 86 countries, we find that firms located in countries characterized by severe weather events prefer to use less trade credit. In additional analyses, we find that the negative association between trade credit and climate risk is more pronounced for firms with more volatile cash flow and less collateral. Our results are robust to the use of alternative climate risk measure, alternative econometric methods, and exclusion of outliers.

Title: The Effects of Language on the Gender Patterns of Highly Skilled Migration
Abstract: 
 We study how sociocultural and cognitive institutions, as well as women’s rights, differentially influence highly-skilled women and men’s migration patterns. For this matter, we utilize language grammatical structures to account for cognition on gender expectations, in terms of professional careers, by incorporating these into a gravity model. We find language to be useful in explaining the gendered pattern of highly educated migrants, relative to men. Language, we discuss, is a potential variable to account for elusive institutions influencing important career decisions for female migrants, and is useful to advance policies that support them through comprehensive migratory policies.

Title: Multinational Enterprises and Cross-border Acquisitions: Evolution of the Field
Abstract: 
 The rise of the multinational enterprise to international prominence has been remarkable. This study takes an evolutionary approach in chronicling the development of the multinational enterprise field, to include supporting theory. The central lens whereby multinationals have been examined has experienced several significant shifts in focus over time. Likewise, the dominant multinational internationalization entry mode, cross-border acquisition, has concurrently co-evolved. As such, we contribute to the literature by providing a detailed mapping of this co-evolution (multinationals and cross-border acquisitions) across diverse contexts (e.g., management, finance, economics), to include associated research, theory, practice, and future pathways.

Title: Deposit Rate Pass-Through in Selected Latin American Economies over the Post-2008 World
Abstract: 
 This investigation documented the following. First, commercial banks in Colombia and Mexico overshot in their lending rate adjustments and practiced predatory pricing in the credit markets. Second, the institutions in Bolivia, Costa Rica, and Honduras were sluggish in their short-run lending rate adjustments and lowered their lending rate more in the long run. Third, Brazilian banks adjusted their lending rates down when their deposit rates increased in the short run, and drastically increased them in the long run. Thus, to promote economic growth and improve the living standard of the populace, these hindrances in Latin American economies must be rectified.

Title: Economic Policy Uncertainty Shocks and U.S. Overseas Travel
Abstract: 
 Unlike previous studies, which find that economic policy uncertainty has an adverse impact on tourism flows, our results from Toda-Yamamoto long-run causality tests reveal the absence of Granger-causality from either U.S. or global economic policy uncertainty indices to U.S. overseas travel. Upon further investigation using generalized impulse response analysis, we discover that unexpected shocks to U.S. and global economic policy uncertainty indices reduce overseas travel with a greater magnitude and longer in duration for the case of a positive shock to global economic policy uncertainty.

Title: Digital Trade Issues in WTO Jurisprudence and the USMCA
Abstract: 
 The USMCA is a landmark trade agreement for the digital ecosystem that will create a strong foundation for the expansion of trade, investment, and innovation. The USMCA sets a new global high standard protecting the free flow of data beyond what is covered in the WTO. The USMCA along with WTO standards help in harnessing digital trade for prosperity by enabling free access, a secure market, and low barriers to growth. However, the USMCA is likely to become the model for future free trade agreements between the U.S. and other countries.

Title: The Impact of Consumer Beef Safety Awareness on U.S. Beef Exports
Abstract: 
 We quantified the impact of consumer awareness about beef safety on U.S. beef exports. An index to reflect consumer awareness is constructed based on publicized reports in the media. Results showed a 0.8% reduction in U.S. beef exports arose from foodborne-disease news. In addition, using impulse response functions derived from a panel vector autoregressive model (panel VAR with the system GMM estimator), we found that the negative impact of a shock in food safety news intensified after three quarters and then diminished. Investing in any scheme that minimizes the impact of food safety events, such as quality labeling, is suggested.

Title: The Relationship between International Outsourcing and Bargained Wage: A Revisit
Abstract: 
 This article revisits the debate in the literature of outsourcing and bargained wage. We focus on the triggers of international outsourcing. If the triggers are a decrease in foreign per-unit cost and an improvement in foreign workers’ productivity, the effect of international outsourcing on the domestic bargained wage is always positive. Under certain conditions, a deterioration in domestic workers’ productivity and a decrease in the degree of product differentiation, which lead to an increase in international outsourcing, decreases bargained wages. It is important to know what raises the intensity of international outsourcing in the debate.

Title: Trade Cluster Impacts on USA Southern Border Transportation Costs
Abstract: 
 Panel regression analysis is used to examine the impact of trade clusters on transportation costs along the southern border of the United States. CIF/FOB ratios are utilized as the transportation cost measures. Grubel-Lloyd and Herfindahl-Hirschman indexes are utilized to identify trade clusters in the sample. Data are assembled for four customs districts (El Paso, Laredo, Nogales, and San Diego) during a 20-year period between 1995 and 2015. Empirical results suggest that trade clusters are associated with reduced transportation costs. These results differ from those of the northern border of the United States, where trade clusters have higher transportation costs.

Title: New Evidence on Exchange-Rate Volatility and Export Flows in Thailand: Nonlinearity and Asymmetric ARDL Investigation
Abstract: 
 This is the first study of Thailand’s export demand relations utilizing the new nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) technique by Shin, Yu, and Greenwood-Nimmo. The study reports long-run elasticities and exposes the short-run adjustment of real exports to changes in foreign economic activity, relative export price, and exchange-rate risk using long-run and short-run asymmetry as well as nonlinear asymmetric cointegration. Results from nonlinear and asymmetry cointegration analysis and short-run asymmetric error-correction modeling indicate cointegration and negative effects of exchange-rate risks on export volume in both the long run and short run.

Title: Manufacturing Exports and Services Export Diversification
Abstract: 
 This article analyzes the effect of manufacturing export performance (MEP) on services export diversification (SED). The analysis covers a sample of 138 countries over the period of 1995 to 2014, and uses the two-step system GMM approach. The findings indicate that higher MEP is positively associated with SED, with the magnitude of this positive effect being higher for less developed countries than for relatively advanced countries. In addition, the positive effect of MEP on SED rises as countries enjoy greater trade liberalization, a higher financial development depth, a higher education level, higher foreign direct investment inflows, and better institutional and governance quality.

Title: Is Export Diversification or Export Specialization Responsible for Economic Growth in BRICS Countries?
Abstract: 
 The study investigates whether export diversification or export specialization is more useful toward promoting economic growth in BRICS countries. We estimate a dynamic growth model augmented with trade activity to capture the diversification-concentration trade-off with economic growth for BRICS economies over the period of 1995 to 2017 using FMOLS, DOLS, and PMG estimators. Altogether, we find a positive (negative) relationship between export concentration (diversification) and economic growth in BRICS countries. Further analysis points to a semi-inverted U-shaped diversification schedule, of which the BRICS countries have crossed their “inflexion point” of development and need to re-specialize their export baskets.

Title: Exports, Imported Inputs, Two-way Trade, and Productivity: The Role of Absorptive Capacity
Abstract: 
 This article estimates the effects of imported inputs, exporting, and two-way trade on productivity. This includes exploring the role of absorptive capacity in the underlying relationships using panel data from manufacturing firms in Ghana. The results show that the ability of firms that both export and import to enhance productivity contemporaneously in the short term depends critically on absorptive capacity as captured by the proportion of skilled workers. The ability of two-way traders to learn from prior exporting experience and assimilate R&D spillovers from prior use of imported inputs to enhance productivity in the short term depends on absorptive capacity.

Title: Export Potential of Climate Smart Goods in India: Evidence from the Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood Estimator
Abstract: 
 This article highlights the per capita GDP of the exporter country and GDP of the importer country as major positive determinants of CSGs exports in India using the gravity model of trade. Besides, it is found that India has export potential in CSGs with Russia, Switzerland, Israel, Egypt, China, Mexico, Pakistan, Thailand, the Philippines, South Korea, France, Japan, Oman, Belgium, and Malaysia. The findings suggest that India can take advantage of climate variability by exporting CSGs to the world which will contribute to its economic growth and strengthen its adaptability potential to deal with the increasingly adverse effects of climate change.

Title: Regional Integration and Economic Growth: New Empirical Evidence from the East African Community
Abstract: 
 This article empirically investigates the impact of the East African Community (EAC) on economic growth. We utilized a comprehensive panel data spanning from 1988 to 2017. We estimated an endogenous growth model using feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) and panel corrected standard error (PCSE) estimators. Regional trade agreements (RTAs) and trade openness enhance economic growth. RTAs in the same region have a more significant impact on economic growth than plurilateral and multilateral RTAs. Regionalism in the EAC has heterogeneous country effects on economic growth. Our results are robust to alternative model specifications, highlighting the importance of RTAs in enhancing economic growth.

Title: The Openness Hypothesis in the Context of Economic Development in Sub-Saharan Africa: The Moderating Role of Trade Dynamics on FDI
Abstract: 
 This study investigates the simultaneous openness hypothesis by assessing the importance of trade openness in modulating the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on the economic dynamics of gross domestic product (GDP) growth, real GDP, and GDP per capita. The focus of the study is on 25 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa over the period spanning from 1980 to 2014. Trade imports modulate FDI to induce net positive effects on GDP growth and GDP per capita. Trade exports moderate FDI to generate overall positive impacts on GDP growth, real GDP, and GDP per capita. Implications of the study are discussed.

Title: Export Market Destinations, Imported Intermediates, and Productivity: Firm-level Evidence from Ghana
Abstract: 
 This article explores whether the use of imported intermediates has a moderating impact on the productivity effects of export market destinations using data from Ghanaian manufacturing firms over the period of 1991 to 2002. The results show that the use of imported inputs in the production process helps firms that export outside Africa alone to enhance productivity compared to non-exporting firms. In contrast, firms that export outside Africa alone, but do not use imported inputs in the production process have lower productivity compared to non-exporting firms. Policies that promote trade in intermediate inputs across borders can help to enhance productivity.

Title: Empirical Analysis of Demand for Imports in Sub-Saharan Africa
Abstract: 
 This article investigates the drivers of demand for imports of goods and services in a panel of 32 sub-Saharan African countries over the 1990 to 2016 period with the aid of an imperfect substitute model of import demand and the dynamic system-GMM technique. For comparison purposes, three separate models are estimated: imports of goods and services, imports of goods, and imports of services. The article finds that expenditure components, relative import prices, and foreign exchange reserves are the key drivers of import demand in sub-Saharan Africa. The findings and policy suggestions of the study provide relevant information for policy formulation.

Title: Do Minimum Wages Increase Female Employment? Evidence from Vietnamese Manufacturing Firms
Abstract: 
 In this article, I empirically examine the employment effect of minimum wages using firm-level data on Vietnamese manufacturing and find that minimum wages have a positive association with a firm’s female employment. This effect is the highest in automotive and engineering manufactures, and the lowest in textile, garment, and footwear manufactures. Alternative regressions provide evidence that the higher the total factor productivity, the increased female labor share, and the higher pay to their employees, the stronger the female employment effect. The female employment impact is positive, but this impact weakened after the uniform minimum wage rate was applied in 2012.

Title: Do Institutions and Technologies Matter for Trade Openness? Empirical Evidence from African Countries
Abstract: 
 This study examines the influence of institutions, the Internet, and mobile phone usage on African countries’ trade openness. Applying various estimations for a balanced panel of data for 47 African economies over the period of 2003 to 2017, our empirical analysis arrives at the following interesting conclusions. Improvement of the institutional framework has mixed impacts on the trade relationships of African countries within the continent. Notably, internet and mobile phone usage have greater impacts on trade openness in countries that have a better institutional framework.

Title: Trade and Depletion with a Resource Intensive Export
Abstract: 
 This article examines the dynamic general equilibrium of a small open economy producing a nonrenewable resource-intensive export and an import-competing good. Optimal depletion ties the rate of increase in the price of the resource to the capital return. Capital increases due to a constant saving rate and labor at a constant rate, potentially maintaining income as trade declines. Taxes on trade or depletion have transitory effects with underlying trends resuming. Trade and depletion with a constant depletion rate, tragedy of the commons, and a myopic resource owner are also considered.

Title: Economic Geography of U.S. Apparel Trade: Home Market and Vertical Linkage Effects
Abstract: 
 A partial equilibrium trade model is used to test the role of vertical linkages and home market effects on the pattern of U.S. apparel trade, while controlling for trade costs and comparative advantage. Input output data is used to investigate the significance of linkages between the apparel and textile industries. Industrial production data is used to provide industry specific estimates of the home market effect. We find strong evidence of home market effects that increase with the phasing out of apparel quotas. Strong linkages between the apparel and textile industries in the exporting country are positively correlated with apparel exports.

Title: Relationship between Preferential Trade Agreements and Foreign Direct Investment: Evidence from a Panel of 147 Countries
Abstract: 
 This study examines the impact of preferential trade agreements (PTAs) on the inflows of foreign direct investment (FDI). Empirical results suggest that FDI gains of preferential trade are increasing with the market size of the preferential trading partners but not due to their economic and geographic closeness to the host country. It is also observed that the association between PTAs and inflows of FDI only exists for middle- and high-income countries, whereas this relationship disappeared for low-income countries. This study recommends that countries should offer various trade related benefits to overseas investors in order to attract higher inflows of capital.

Title: The Interplay of Policy and Institutions during COVID-19
Abstract: 
 Are COVID-19 spread and mortality related to different countries’ government mobility restriction policies, democratic institutions, and cultural norms? Leveraging data from 140 countries, we find that policy, institutions, and vulnerabilities interact to determine pandemic spread and mortality. A delay in restricting international mobility increases pandemic mortality. Combining vulnerabilities with a delay in domestic mobility restrictions increases mortality. Democratic countries have faster policy responses and lower pandemic mortality, but they also face more adverse effects from a delay in restricting domestic mobility. More individualistic countries have a higher pandemic spread, and their delay in domestic mobility restrictions is associated with higher pandemic mortality.

Title: An Assessment of the Impact of the CARIFORUM EU-EPA on CARIFORUM Exports to the EU (2000 to 2017)
Abstract: 
 The economic literature is limited on the potential impact of the CARIFORUM-EU Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) on exports of the region to the EU. This article applies a gravity model to assess the effect of the EPA on CARIFORUM exports to the EU for the period of 2000 to 2017. Our results show that under the EPA, the region has not been able to benefit significantly in terms of sustained merchandise exports to the EU. This observation is also made in the context of the declining complementarity between CARIFORUM economies and the EU in the post-EPA period.

Title: The ‘Similarity’ of Agri-Food Trade Flows between the EU-28 and the Asia-50
Abstract: 
 Using Comtrade data extrapolated by the Trade Map system, this article presents different indexes to provide a picture of the evolution of similarities, productive dependence, and comparative advantages between the exports and imports of European Union (EU) and Asian countries. The findings indicate that 67% of the 24 agri‐food products considered in the EU‐28 show a comparative advantage for Asian markets. Furthermore, the results obtained from the application of a multivariate analysis offer a new insight, demonstrating an increase over the last decade in interdependence, similarity, and integration, firstly between some Asian countries and secondly between some EU and Asian countries.

Title: Yuan-Dollar Real Exchange Rate and the U.S. Real Trade Balance with China: Long-Run Cointegration and Short-Run Dynamic Analysis
Abstract: 
 This article examines the impact of the yuan-dollar real exchange rate on the U.S. trade deficit with China in the long run as well as in the short run using a novel globalization-augmented empirical model. The long-run estimates are obtained using the Johansen-Juselius cointegration method along with the corresponding short-run dynamics. The longest available annual time-series data with a sample size of 45 years is utilized to conduct the empirical tests. The study finds confirmation of the long-run equilibrium and that the real yuan-dollar real exchange rate plays a strong role consistent with traditional theory. Real income and globalization played strong roles as well.

Title: Effects of Hallyu and the King Sejong Institute on International Trade and Services in Korea
Abstract: 
 This article examines the effects of Hallyu and the King Sejong Institute (KSI). Upon estimating the gravity model, we find Hallyu has significantly positive impacts on foreign students, tourists, and Korean exports. Moreover, the effects of Hallyu are stronger for female students (tourists) than for male students (tourists). Korean imports from other countries respond positively to Hallyu, but less than Korean exports do. The KSI reduces foreign (particularly male) student flows. Also, KSI promotes more male tourists than female tourists. Finally, by reducing the transaction cost, KSI increases Korean exports and imports altogether.

Title: Asset Liquidity and Trade Credit: International Evidence
Abstract: 
 We examine the association between asset liquidity and trade credit. We expect that firms having more asset liquidity prefer to use less trade credit. Using international data of 69 countries, we find that firms having more asset liquidity prefer to use less trade credit. Our results are robust to a wide variety of fixed effects, using change regression, propensity score matching, excluding outliers, and using alternative measures of trade credit and asset liquidity.

Title: Knowledge Management and Innovation in Enterprises
Abstract: 
 Rapid technological development pushes enterprises to constantly change the use of their information systems. Human to human, human through machine, human to machine, and eventually machine to human are current challenges that enterprises face. Personal motivation to respond to change becomes a high priority. The simplest way is to determine if information systems within the enterprise are in optimal use. This means to determine if knowledge management practices are used to bring the expected result as in the commercialization of new products/services/processes. This can be determined, among other parameters, as the frequency and level of novelty of the innovation products/services/processes within enterprises.

Title: Foreign Presence and Export Performance: The Role of Portuguese Commercial Diplomacy
Abstract: 
 This article studies whether export supporting activities developed by Portuguese diplomatic representations in the last decade have had any impact on Portugal’s international trade. It used data for 187 destination countries, for the period of 2008 to 2017, controlling for other determinants of trade through a gravity model. Complementing the econometric analysis of the macro data, a survey was applied to 238 Portuguese exporting firms. The results imply a less relevant role for embassies and consulates in export promotion and facilitation. These results highlight the necessity to change the way that national diplomatic representations interact with exporting firms, in particular SMEs.

Title: Delegation in Customs Union under Taste Diversity
Abstract: 
 This article investigates how diversity in consumer tastes among potential customs union (CU) members influences delegation decisions between them in the context of CU formation. The model used involves a monopolist, situated in a nonmember country, which chooses the quality of a vertically differentiated good to supply to two potential CU members. Formation of a CU can be sustained only if the monopolist chooses to serve consumers with both low and high maximum willingness to pay in the potential CU members. Delegation decision in setting common external tariff depends on the degree of taste diversity and size of population in each member.

Title: A Dynamic Optimal Trade Facilitation Policy
Abstract: 
 The existing literature does not consider the efficiency losses on the adjustment path after a trade facilitation policy is adopted. After a trade facilitation measure, the cost of the foreign producer gets a downward jump, which affects imports, and the market gets out of equilibrium. The market supply and demand get adjusted over time until the post-policy equilibrium arrives. The adjustment of price is based on the lack of coordination among agents at the existing prices. An optimal trade facilitation policy subject to a cost constraint has been derived, which minimizes the efficiency losses on the adjustment path.

Title: Is Trade Facilitation a Deterrent or Stimulus for Foreign Direct Investment in Africa?
Abstract: 
 This article investigates whether trade facilitation acts as a stimulus or deterrent for foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow to Africa by employing six key components relating to cross-border trading on a panel of 26 African countries over the period of 2004 to 2014. The study employs both the fixed effects model and difference-generalized method of moments. The empirical results show that trade facilitation significantly hinders FDI inflows both in the single (aggregated) and multiple (disaggregated) models. This apart, the critical roles of gross domestic product (GDP), infrastructural development (FST), inflation (INFL), and trade openness (TO) are equally affirmed.

Title: Protection for the Neediest? Comparative Advantage, Tariffs, and Political Economy Dynamics under NAFTA
Abstract: 
 In theory, a country will impose tariff barriers to protect the domestic industries and firms that are less competitive relative to foreign imports. This study investigates whether revealed comparative advantage (RCA) is related to tariff protection in the three large North American economies. I find little evidence for the hypothesis that higher RCA values always correspond to lower tariff levels. The effects of RCA on tariffs are heterogeneous across sectors; consumer goods are likelier to see higher tariffs as RCA increases than agricultural or other goods. These results challenge the theory that export-competitive goods will necessarily receive less tariff protection.

Title: Intraregional Export Flows and Export Efficiency in Palm Oil and Palm-Based Products: Southeast Asia and Latin America Regions Compared
Abstract: 
 Arguably, leveraging the intraregional market is important for a commodity like palm oil that constantly faces challenges to sustain global demand in extraregional markets. The article, therefore, compares intraregional export potentials for palm oil in two regions that are at the frontier for palm oil expansion, Southeast Asia and Latin America. The study employs a stochastic frontier gravity model to estimate intraregional export performance. The results indicate large untapped potentials and low-efficiency levels in both regions. The evidence further suggests that the export potential limiting factors have increased over time.

Title: Sub-national Institutions and Inward Foreign Direct Investment: Effects of Political Party Pendulum Swings
Abstract: 
 While the influence of national institutions is well-documented, we theorize and investigate how sub-national institutions affect localization of foreign direct investment into a sub-national geographic area. Specifically, we examine the effect of county-level political ideology and party majority affiliation in the United States on inward foreign direct investment through foreign-sourced greenfield start-ups in that county. As predicted, in examination of 2,978 counties (94.7% of all US counties), the dichotomous majority party affiliation (Republican versus Democrat) differentially influenced foreign-sourced greenfields. Significantly decreased levels of foreign-sourced greenfields were experienced in counties during a Republican majority relative to Democratic, all else being held equal.

Title: Trade Openness, Foreign Direct Investment, and Human Development: A Panel Cointegration Analysis for MENA Countries
Abstract: 
 This article analyzes whether trade openness and foreign direct investment are driving factors for human development in the Middle East and North African region. We used data of 13 MENA countries over the period of 2002 to 2015. We employed the panel cointegration analysis and vector error correction model to test the short- and long-run relationships as well as the causality between the variables. Findings indicate that in the long run the coefficients of trade openness and foreign direct investment are statistically significant. However, in the short run, the results show that only foreign direct investment and domestic investment exert a significant impact on human development.

Title: The Asymmetric Effects of Exchange Rate Changes on Output: Evidence from Asian Countries
Abstract: 
 This article examines the asymmetric effects of real exchange rate changes on the domestic output of selected Asian countries. To account for asymmetries, we separate currency appreciation from depreciation and utilize the nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) model. Employing annual data (1973 to 2018), we find evidence of short-run and long-run asymmetries in the effects of real exchange changes on the domestic output of all the countries. This means that currency appreciations have different effects from currency depreciations on the output of the countries. Overall, the results suggest that both currency appreciations and depreciations are contractionary in most cases.

Title: Aid for Trade and the Real Exchange Rate
Abstract: 
 The current analysis contributes to the literature on the real exchange rate effect of development aid by separating the real exchange rate effect of the development aid allocated to the trade sector (Aid for Trade – AfT) from the effect of other aid flows. The empirical findings show that higher AfT flows lead to a depreciation of the real exchange rate in recipient economies, while other development aid flows generate an appreciation of the real exchange rate. The real exchange rate effect of total AfT flows works through trade openness, export product diversification, and inward foreign direct investment stock.

Title: Asymmetric Impacts of the South Korean Currency on Korea’s Commodity Trade Balance with Japan
Abstract: 
 This study examines the asymmetric and symmetric impacts of appreciation and depreciation in the Korean won on Korea’s commodity trade balance with Japan. To this aim, the linear and nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) models are applied. However, this study methodologically differs from previous empirical studies in the related literature applying the NARDL model. These previous studies are constructed based on only short-run and long-run symmetry (denoted by SS) and short-run and long-run asymmetry (denoted by AA). This study, however, also considers two other alternative cases as short-run asymmetry-long-run symmetry (denoted by AS) and short-run symmetry-long-run asymmetry (denoted by SA).

Title: U.K.-German Commodity Trade and Exchange-Rate Volatility: An Asymmetric Analysis
Abstract: 
 We assess the response of trade flows between Britain and Germany to exchange rate volatility. When we estimated a linear model, we found short-run effects of volatility in 36 British exporting industries that lasted into the long run only in 23 industries. The comparable number for German exporting industries were 42 and 17, respectively. However, when we estimated a nonlinear model, we found short-run asymmetric effects of volatility in 54 British exporting industries that lasted into the long run in 38 industries. The comparable number for German exporting industries were 64 and 42, respectively. Almost all affected industries were small.

Title: Trade Liberalization and Environmental Sustainability Risk: Do Governance and Regulatory Structures Influence the Dynamics?
Abstract: 
 This study examines the effect of trade openness on environmental sustainability risk, with emphasis on the role of governance and regulatory factors. Data for the study were compiled from 39 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) from 2001 to 2018. Results from a two-step system generalized method of moments estimation suggest that for the sub-region, governance and regulatory variables significantly moderate the trade openness–CO2 emission nexus, suggesting that improved governance and regulatory structures help in reducing CO2 emissions associated with trade openness. For the trade openness–ecological footprint relationship, the empirical estimates further suggest that government effectiveness significantly moderates the nexus.

Title: U.S.-Dominican Agricultural Trade Negotiations and Intra-sectoral Leverage
Abstract: 
 Business-state relations literature on developing countries focuses on the characteristics of an industry to determine its influence on the state but pays minimal attention to the process associated with industry influence. This study finds that industry leverage varies within the agricultural sector because of each industry’s long-term relationship with the state, information capacity, and significance to the local economy, as in the case of some Dominican agricultural producers during the U.S.-Dominican agricultural trade negotiations.

Title: The Import Demand for Corn in Changing Macroeconomic Circumstances
Abstract: 
 This article examines the import behavior of major importers of corn over the period of 1996 to 2016. The article uses an upper-stage import demand equation for corn to estimate countries’ elasticities of import demand with respect to income/GNP, the import price, exchange rate, domestic corn production, and animal inventories. The article also examines whether countries’ corn import demand is sensitive to changes in income and the exchange rate during macroeconomic downturns, specifically when both nominal GNP falls and the currency depreciates. The results show greater import demand responsiveness in periods of macroeconomic stability, as opposed to downturns.

Title: Environmental Regulation and Intra-Industry Trade: An Empirical Analysis
Abstract: 
 This article examines the impact of environmental stringency on the pattern of intra-industry trade (IIT) flows of four pollution-intensive industries, that is, pulp and waste paper, lime, cement, and construction materials, iron ore and concentrates, and dyeing and tanning extracts, by utilizing a balanced panel dataset comprising of 36 countries over the period 1990 to 2019. The environmental stringency variable has been estimated from the energy intensity of the trading countries. The results show that the environmental stringency coefficients are highly statistically significant, implying that environmental regulation emerges as an essential indicator of the IIT flows between two trading countries.

Title: Trade, Transportation, and the Environment: Welfare Effects of Emissions Reduction and International Emissions Trading
Abstract: 
 This article examines the environmental regulations of international transport in a two-country model with the international transport sector in each country. International transport generates pollution which is treated as a pure public bad. First, we show that a country may benefit from voluntarily imposing a strict environmental regulation despite this regulation having the effect of shrinking the international transport sector. Second, we find that permit trading between the international transport sectors of two countries benefits an international-transport-importing country, while permit trading may harm an international-transport-exporting country even if it receives all of the direct gains from permit trading.

Title: Bilateral Trade in West Africa: Does Digitalization Matter?
Abstract: 
 This article investigates the effect of digitalization on bilateral trade in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). We estimate the augmented gravity model to capture the effect of digitalization on bilateral trade using the POLS, GLS, and PPML estimators over 2000 to 2018. We find a significant positive effect of digitalization on bilateral trade for the ECOWAS region. The policy implication of this article is that bilateral trade in the region depends on digitalization. Therefore, economic agents’ efforts in the ECOWAS region should aim at policies that promote digitalization to enhance bilateral trade.

Title: Economic Imperatives of Evolving National Digital Policy: A Call for a Modern Industrial Policy Framework in India
Abstract: 
 The world economy is witnessing the rapid digitization of global production, trade, and consumption of goods and services, which is significantly impacting economic activities in both developing and least developed countries. In this article, we examine and review the evolving framework of the national e-commerce policy in India and map digital policies in the broader contours of the industrial policy framework. Findings of this article show that interventionist policies such as localization of data and restrictions on cross-border data flows are vital for building domestic digital infrastructure, firms, platforms, and capabilities.

Title: The Enforcement of IP-Protecting Trade Agreements: A Theory Incorporating Mechanism Design
Abstract: 
 We develop a model for ex-ante analysis of the economic effects of provisions of international trade agreements that protect and enforce intellectual property rights (IPR). The model focuses on the incentive compatibility of enforcement in the implementing country. Decisions to enforce IPR and the resulting effects of trade agreements on prices and the profits of IP originators depend on the price responsiveness of demand, market size, relative cost competitiveness of the IP owner, costs of enforcing IPR, regulatory price caps in the market, the political economy weight assigned to repatriated monopoly profits, and the costs and productivity of efforts to innovate.

Title: E-commerce and Exports in Europe: A Dynamic Panel Data Approach
Abstract: 
 In this article, we investigate if the greater development of e-commerce affects exports. Furthermore, we consider how other aspects of information and communication technology, including e-government and the prevalence of internet use in the workforce, affect exports on the sector level. The system generalized method of moments was applied to estimate a dynamic exports model using panel data on 32 European countries in the period of 2009 to 2017. Our findings indicate that only e-commerce positively affects exports, particularly in the service and manufacturing sectors. The results imply that e-commerce development could be used as an export-enhancing policy instrument.

In the econometric estimations, ICT is proxied by fixed telephone subscriptions, mobile cellular subscriptions, fixed broadband subscriptions, and internet users, and is introduced in the augmented gravity model with a panel data set available from 1995 to 2012. Estimations are carried out using the fixed-effects method. It is found that ICT variables are positively associated with Cambodia’s total services exports as well as exports of transport and travel services. Policy implications are provided in order to further develop Cambodia’s ICT infrastructure to enhance the country’s international trade.

Title: Diagnosis and Proposal of a Management and Innovation Model in Palm Oil Exporting Companies: The Case of Colombia
Abstract: 
 This research article analyzed the Colombian palm oil sector business model to understand its competitive advantages in the markets where they operate. A Cronbach alpha and the analysis of variance (ANOVA) were applied in the independent variables organizational culture and innovation, innovation process, methodologies and tools, and partner ecosystems to determine if there were statistically significant differences between them. It was found that palm oil exporting companies do not have a formal innovation system. It is necessary to create procedures that potentiate the innovation system within it through the human capital that sustains it, given its training and experience capacities.

Title: North Macedonia on the Road toward Digitalization
Abstract: 
 Technical advancements challenge traditional organizational structures, requiring more flexible, proactive, transparent, and inclusive financial services. The efforts to implement technological advancements in reducing the timeframe for executing financial services, but also maintaining safe and transparent financial services, require a high level of functional and technical knowledge. Using appropriate risk management and organizational knowledge flow for constant innovation optimizes the knowledge gaps and different knowledge levels.

Title: Bank Holding Company Lobbying Activity upon Regulation and Its Impact upon Non-Traditional Revenue
Abstract: 
 Bank holding companies exert influence at every step of the legislative and regulatory processes. In our article, we ask if banks frequently comment upon proposed financial rulings with the goal of favorable regulatory change. We explore whether bank lobbying leads to having their opinions worded into the final form of the regulation. By making use of an original collection of political and financial quarterly panel data, we find that banks use multiple mechanisms of influence while lobbying regulatory agencies. This is important since banks lobby to preserve gains in non-traditional revenues.

Title: Supply Chain Finance Arrangements and Shareholder Benefits
Abstract: 
 Supply chain finance (SCF) is a buyer-led financial innovation used to optimize working capital and increase liquidity within the supply chain. Advertised as win-win, little is known of the benefits to firms or shareholders. I explore whether these arrangements are beneficial to the initiating firm and whether such benefits percolate to the buyer’s investors. I find that although a firm’s days payable outstanding increases post-adoption, SCF arrangements are not beneficial to all firms. Liquidity and profitability decrease post-adoption. I also find that shareholders respond negatively to SCF adoptions, but this response may be attenuated by some firms increasing share repurchases.

Title: Bounded Entanglement: The Asymmetric Co-evolution of Institutions and Internationalization Research and Practice
Abstract: 
 The institutional context of firm internationalization has become increasingly important to research and practice. Institutional influence and effects are well documented across diverse aspects of firm internationalization. However, less is known about the reciprocal interplay of relationships between institutions and internationalization, and how this may spur their asymmetric co-evolution over time – as differentially influenced by highly varying forces and factors. We contribute to the literature by unpacking these relationships, introducing a model with propositions to account for the simultaneous interactions of institutions and internationalization leading to asymmetric co-evolution over time, and by extending unique theoretical support for the co-evolution process.

Title: The Impact of Cultural Institutes on International Tourism
Abstract: 
 It has been recognized that cultural institute programs that first started after World War II and aim to improve language familiarity and cultural awareness are beneficial for FDI and trade. We use gravity models to examine the impact from both the German Goethe-Institut and Chinese Confucius Institute (two large-scaled cultural institute programs) on tourism arrivals, a form of international trade. We find a positive impact on tourism arrivals from the Confucius Institute program but a negative impact from the Goethe-Institut program. In addition, both the Goethe-Institut and Confucius Institute programs help to reduce the impact of linguistic distance on international tourism.

Title: Do or Die: Analysis of Bankruptcy Risk from a Research and Development Perspective
Abstract: 
 Arguably, R&D remains one of the main drivers for signaling, and its essence in reducing bankruptcy risk (BR) is critical. We revisit the literature and debate and find that since 1982, R&D investment has, on average, been increasing at an annual rate of 0.033%, while BR has been decreasing at an annual rate of 9.02%. Empirically, we find consistent evidence that R&D investment reduces BR. Also, firms with a higher likelihood of bankruptcy have a higher marginal benefit from incremental investment in R&D. Additional results suggest that capital structure and other signaling strategies matter in how R&D affects BR.

Title: Economic Policy Uncertainty, COVID-19, and Tourist Stays in Croatia: Evidence from a Fourier Toda-Yamamoto Modeling Approach
Abstract: 
 This study extends the literature with respect to economic policy uncertainty measures and tourism flows to Croatia through the use of the Toda and Yamamoto modeling approach with a Fourier approximation to capture structural breaks. The results show that domestic economic policy uncertainty does not have a significant impact on tourist overnight stays. However, an increase in European economic policy uncertainty reduces total and domestic tourist overnight stays. An increase in COVID-19 cases has a negative and significant impact on total, domestic, and foreign tourist overnight stays, and contributes to increases in both Croatian and European economic policy uncertainty.

Title: Regional Trade Agreements and Export Trade Flows: Developing Economies and the Global Financial Crisis of 2007 to 2009
Abstract: 
 We explore the impact of the global financial crisis on export trade flows among member countries of MERCOSUR, NAFTA, ASEAN, Maghreb, and SACU. The analysis also focuses on the role of political rights, exchange rate, and export diversification as control mechanisms during the economic crisis. The results show differentiated patterns of trade creation across regions. We found an annual reduction (increment) in the gains of MERCOSUR and ASEAN (NAFTA, Maghreb, and SACU) members during the years after the global financial crisis. We also found that export concentration was the sole robust mechanism enhancing the volume of exports.

Title: The Partial and General Equilibrium Effects of the Greater Arab Free Trade Agreement
Abstract: 
 The Greater Arab Free Trade Agreement (GAFTA) is a regional trade agreement among the Arab countries. We incorporate recent advances in the literature to investigate the partial and general equilibrium effects of GAFTA. The partial equilibrium estimates suggest that GAFTA had a positive and significant effect on bilateral trade of around 40% in 1998 and 61% after the phasing out of tariffs. The general equilibrium analysis suggests that the welfare effects of the agreement are mostly negligible. The results highlight that deeper integration among the Arab countries is imperative to bring about further welfare benefits to the member states.

Title: Trade Integration and Business Cycle Synchronization among East African Community Countries
Abstract: 
 This study uses a panel of 31 African countries for a period of 17 years to assess whether trade integration among these countries has led to the synchronization of their business cycle. This is an important issue to consider for entry into a monetary union. Unlike most previous studies, a time-varying index is applied to measure business cycle synchronization. The heterogeneous panel estimators reveal a positive relationship between the two variables among these African countries. This empirical finding should be considered by the East African Community (EAC) authorities for further debate on the readiness of the EAC Monetary Union.

Title: Assessing Intra-Arab Trade Integration and Potential: Evidence from the Stochastic Frontier Gravity Model
Abstract: 
 This study aims to detect the presence of “behind the border” and “beyond the border” constraints on trade flows among Arab countries, using the stochastic frontier gravity model (SFGM) over the period of 1998 to 2015. The empirical results indicate that “behind the border” constraints are responsible for a considerable gap between potential and actual trade among Arab countries. The results also reveal that the influence of “behind the border” constraints on trade flows between Arab countries has been decreasing over time. Moreover, the efficiency scores of intra-Arab trade indicate a relatively low degree of trade integration among Arab countries.

Title: Analyzing the Determinants of Trade Agreements: A Cross Country Socio-Economic-Political Analysis
Abstract: 
 This article examines the determinants of trade agreements. Apart from the standard economic variables like market size, factor endowment difference, and distance, we incorporate socio-cultural and political factors like common language, colonial heritage, political regime, and bilateral relationships. We perform a qualitative comparative analysis, which gives joint causation. The panel probit regression for 163 countries during 2000 to 2014 reveals that countries joined trade agreements not merely for economic reasons but for political and socio-cultural reasons. Only colonial heritage acts as an opposing force. Detailed knowledge of the determinants of trade agreements can help to form successful bilateral trade relations.

Title: Multi-product Firms and Export Skewness: Does Firm Size Matter?
Abstract: 
 Using firm-level data on Egyptian multi-product exporters, this article studies how firms respond to a larger market size and greater competition in the destination country through adjusting their choice of product scope. Our main findings show that market size has a negative impact on the within-firm concentration index, reflecting that firms diversify their product portfolio in larger destinations. Tougher competition induces firms to drop some products, and their product mix becomes more skewed, especially for large exporting firms who tend to concentrate on products where they have a comparative advantage. Our results are less robust for small exporting firms.

Title: Trade Restrictions, Competition, and Firm Behavior: India’s Experience in the US Market in the Post-MFA Era
Abstract: 
 Employing a difference-in-differences estimation technique on firm and product level data on Indian textile and clothing exports to the US over 2000 to 2010, we find that MFA quota removal was associated with a rise in export revenues, sales, and total assets of constrained products relative to unconstrained products. We find that the rise in export revenue was due to the rise in export quantity rather than the rise in prices. We also find that trade liberalization in the textile sector was associated with a fall in the export value and prices of Indian products in the US market.

Title: Export Entrepreneurship and SMEs: Determinants and Performance
Abstract: 
 The main objective of this study is to analyze the export entrepreneurship determinants and performance achieved by 70 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the engineering industry of Bangalore in India. The results reveal that export entrepreneurship is influenced by CEOs who are young, have high entrepreneurial orientation, and possess export market knowledge. The study also shows that export entrepreneurship positively affects the performance of SMEs. These results extend the existing knowledge of how SMEs can strategize their international activities and performance by utilizing the CEO’s specific attributes.

Title: Financial Constraints and Firm Productivity in Vietnamese Manufacturing Industries
Abstract: 
 Financial constraint is detrimental to firm productivity but has been less explored in the literature. In this empirical study, I fill this gap by using a rich Vietnamese firm-level dataset for manufacturing firms over the period of 2010 to 2015 to estimate a total factor productivity (TFP) model augmented with financial factors. The estimation results indicate that sufficient internal financing and the development of the financial sector boost firm productivity, whereas the leverage ratio has a negative impact on firm productivity. I also provide the heterogeneous impact of financial development on firm productivity across different firm sizes as well as different trade modes.

Title: The China Shock on Manufacturing in Brazil: Lessons on Productivity, Innovation, and Jobs
Abstract: 
 We use the China shock in Brazil as a quasi-natural experiment to revisit the impact of trade on firm productivity, innovation, and employment. The results corroborate some of the key findings of trade liberalization literature of the 1990s, pointing to a positive although modest effect of trade on productivity. They also point to relatively modest job losses. They raise questions, though, about the effects on innovation, contradicting the positive estimates of the 1990s. This mismatch between productivity and innovation questions the ability of trade policy to deliver sustainable productivity growth on its own.

Title: Economic Integration and Stock Market Development: Evidence from Nigeria
Abstract: 
 This study assesses the relationship between economic integration and stock market performance in Nigeria alongside her top trading partners. The autoregressive distributed lag in the context of the new trade theory was utilized. The study finds a negative relationship between the US stock price and trade integration with Nigeria. India’s stock price affects and is affected by the degree of integration with Nigeria. It is therefore recommended that where trade integration significantly and positively drives the stock market of Nigeria, authorities should encourage trade policy while being conscious of trade policy arrangements with countries where such a policy is stock market inhibiting.

Title: Role of Corporate Governance to Restrict Tunneling Activities of Foreign Institutional Investors in the Pakistan Stock Market
Abstract: 
 The research objective is to determine the curvilinear influence of trading of foreign institutional investors (FIIs) on the extent of tunneling, while corporate governance moderates this relationship. Data was gathered from 50 non-financial firms for 11 years (2009 to 2019) from the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan. The generalized method of moments (GMM) was applied and results supported the objectives of this study. Involvement of FIIs may contribute to the enhancement of market discipline but may also create problems. Thus, policymakers require protecting the rights of minor shareholders against adverse influence.

Title: Commodity Trade Mispricing: Evidence from Lao P.D.R.
Abstract: 
 Trade mispricing is a significant channel for tax base erosion from developing countries; however, evidence based on aggregated annual trade data remains limited. This article combines statistical price filter methods based on legal rules for customs valuation and transfer pricing analysis with extensive commodity sector research to present new evidence of commodity trade mispricing from Laos. Our analysis of transaction-level export data finds significant undervaluation in exports of coffee beans and identifies multiple risks of trade mispricing in copper exports. We identify trade between related firms, regulatory loopholes, and lack of customs valuation capacity as the main drivers of this phenomenon.

Title: International Financial Reporting Standards and Bilateral Accounting Services Exports
Abstract: 
 This study examines the impact of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adoption on bilateral trade of accounting services. Applying the gravity model to a sample of 13 exporting and 33 importing countries for five years (2001, 2002, 2007, 2008, and 2017), we find that accounting services exports are unaffected by whether both trade partners have jointly adopted IFRS. As a secondary analysis, accounting services exports are found to decrease when trade partners are more dissimilar in their per capita income, with weak evidence that this effect may be muted if both countries adopt IFRS.

Title: Promoting Multilateral Resolution for Trade Disputes
Abstract: 
 Developing countries tend to use multilateral dispute settlement procedures less frequently than developed countries because the former lack the requisite economic and legal capacities. However, recent studies on the WTO have found increased use of the dispute settlement mechanism by developing countries. This article argues for the importance of legal capacity in determining the use of the multilateral process, especially within the WTO. Our empirical analysis indicates that (1) prior member country experiences and (2) the availability of legal assistance from the Advisory Centre on WTO Law increase the likelihood of developing countries using the full multilateral legal procedure.

Title: Trade Theory Vs Reality: The Banana Trade War
Abstract: 
 To what extent can academic trade theories be applied to real world trade issues? We analyze how well modern trade theories and ideas from political economy explain the European Union/United States banana trade war that started in 1993. We show that older trade models, like the Heckscher-Ohlin theorem, only explain observed trade patterns with several core assumptions relaxed. In contrast, the New Trade Theory, with the introduction of heterogeneous firms and monopolistic competition, presents a much more convincing explanation for the banana trade. Finally, we analyze the role of political economy in facilitating the rise and fall of economically inefficient banana tariffs over the course of a two-decade trade war.

Title: Developing a Product-Level Prioritization Method for Bilateral Trade Negotiations
Abstract: 
 The SACU and US trade relationship continues to be dominated by AGOA. Given the lingering uncertainty surrounding its renewal post-2025, this article recommends the SACU to be proactive and reengage the US in the negotiation of a reciprocal trade agreement that builds on AGOA and deepens the parties’ trade relationships. However, trade negotiation processes can be challenging. The literature on product-level prioritization specifically designed to inform trade negotiations is also sparse. Hence, this article proposes a product-level prioritization method, suggested for implementation in the preparation phase of the bilateral trade negotiation process. The method can be applied in any bilateral trade negotiation setting.

Title: The US State-Level Wood Product-Based Bilateral Trade Balances with Canada Under the Protectionist US Trade Policy, COVID-19, and Economic Policy Uncertainty
Abstract: 
 The US-Canada wood product trade is a longstanding dispute due to protectionist high-tariff policies, further exacerbated by COVID-19 restrictions on US production and exports. This study investigates the J-curve effect at the US state level, revealing that only 11 US states support the asymmetric J-curve for wood products, whereas 10 US states support the asymmetric inverse J-curve (shown in Appendix 2 online). Furthermore, high tariffs imposed by the US improved trade balances for only three states, implying that the high-tariff policy did not enhance the US wood-based trade balance with Canada.

Title: Do Antidumping Measures Increase Market Power? Evidence From Latin American Countries
Abstract: 
 This article provides evidence regarding the adverse effects of antidumping measures on competitive market strategies. Our empirical model consists of estimating the Lerner index as a mark-up measure. To reach our goal, we use the Orbis database, with firm-level data between 2006 and 2014. On average, our results suggest a positive relationship between antidumping barriers and the increase in firms’ market power. Its magnitude is larger for Latin America when compared to other emerging economies. Moreover, the effects on market power persist in the long run. Depending on the set of evaluated countries, it becomes null in the short run.

Title: Trade Complementarity as a Basis for the Natural Trading Partner Hypothesis: A Panel Data Study for Trinidad and Tobago
Abstract: 
 This article examines trade complementarity as a basis for the natural trading partner hypothesis from a sectoral view of trade for the petroleum-based economy of Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) over the period of 2000 to 2015. Gravity modeling and an Intercountries Trade Force (ITF) model are adopted to determine the nature of sectoral trade complementarities in T&T over time. The results shows that trade complementarity and manufacturing trade complementarity significantly contribute to trade for T&T, which is important when choosing trade partners. This provides incentives for manufacturing which can dampen the effect of the Dutch Disease.

Title: A Multi-asset and Country Analysis of Capital-output Ratios
Abstract: 
 Several studies have considered factors influencing capital output differences among countries and reported that factors such as education of the workforce, capital allocation, taxes, and business profits partly explain capital-output differences. We disaggregate capital investment into six categories for nine major industrialized nations during the 1998 to 2016 period. The regression estimates of capital-output against several production factors show that capital-output ratios are a positive function of the education level of the workforce and R&D intensity, and a decreasing function of the tax burden on business profits. Among the countries studied, China, the UK, Italy, and India appear to be the most efficient in terms of capital-output ratios for the several capital investment categories examined.

Title: Short-Run Adjustments in Taiwan to Free Trade in a Multisector Specific Factors Model
Abstract: 
 While Taiwan developed due to progress toward free trade, slowing growth since the 1990s has revived protectionism as trade agreements falter worldwide. The present study contributes to the ongoing debate examining the short-run income redistribution due to unilateral free trade in an applied specific factors model with 77 industries. The simulations reveal considerable declines in the returns to capital in the import competing industries relative to other industries, a moderate wage increase, and a negligible impact on the price of natural resource inputs. The short-run adjustments to immigration and foreign direct investment are also examined.

Title: Trade Continuity and Global Production Sharing in Emerging Economies: Evidence from Panel Gravity Analysis
Abstract: 
 This article examines the effect of trade continuity, measured by the lagged imports of intermediate goods, on global production sharing in emerging economies. We estimate an augmented gravity model using the Poisson pseudo maximum likelihood method with a panel dataset of bilateral exports of 29 emerging economies from 2004 to 2017. Our results show that trade continuity positively affects global production sharing. We provide new empirical evidence that trade continuity is process-specific and may vary between parts and components and final assembly stages. Our findings have policy implications on the process-specific nature of global production sharing.

Title: The Debt Ceiling Crises, Policy Uncertainty, and Interest Group Competition: Initial Evidence
Abstract: 
 Congress faces challenges when attempting to raise the debt limit promptly. We address a gap in the literature by investigating whether policy uncertainty or interest group competition influenced the U.S. Treasury bill spread during three debt ceiling crises. Hence, we used an auto-regressive distributed lag model, examining a novel set of economic, financial, and political data. Both policy uncertainty and net total group funding in opposition negatively impacted the U.S. Treasury yield spread. Interest groups in support had a positive effect. This is important, as the U.S. Treasury bill is normally not called into question for its risk.

Title: An Institutional Perspective on Strategic Alignment of International Human Resource Management in Multinational Enterprises
Abstract: 
 Multinational enterprises (MNEs) seek global alignment of international human resource management (IHRM) systems and practices for efficiency and control. Previous studies have provided conflicting evidence regarding the best approach for HR implementation across countries. Disparate institutional contexts in host countries may make MNE strategic IHRM alignment problematic. Adopting an institutional perspective, we offer a conceptual model which addresses these obstacles through the provision of a process approach solution. We extend the general MNE model to emerging market multinationals (EMNEs), highlighting why EMNEs differ from traditional MNEs in seeking SIHRM alignment. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.

Title: Actions Applied by the Mexican Government to Boost Foreign Trade During the Pandemic and Post-Pandemic
Abstract: 
 This research aims to analyze the different intervention strategies applied by the Mexican state in international trade during the pandemic to generate policy proposals that strengthen export and import activities in the post-pandemic transition. The methodology used was analytical and descriptive. The results show that the new National Customs Agency of Mexico and the designation of the armed forces in customs control have generated a better collection of taxes on foreign trade and an increase in exports of 2.1% in 2022 compared to 2021. These have allowed for the repositioning of the state’s role in international trade.

Title: Impact of Globalization and Multinational Corporations on Farmer Suicides in India: An Overview, Effects, Strategies and Policies
Abstract: 
 The tragic rise of farmer suicides in India brought to light some of the high social and ecological costs associated with globalization and unsustainable agriculture. The study analyzes the impact of globalization and MNCs on farmer suicides and suggests strategies and policies. The crucial findings show regressive agricultural policies, output declines, insufficient credit support, private parties’ intervention, land fragmentation, and the high cost of cultivation due to the privatization of the seed sector that led to worst debt traps among other factors as major contributors to this turmoil. This research underlines the ongoing efforts in understanding and tackling these issues.

Title: It’s Not You, It’s Me: Investigating the Consequences of Abusive Supervision and the Moderating Role of Impostorism
Abstract: 
 The literature on abusive supervision continues to link it to multiple negative workplace outcomes. Yet, much work remains in unraveling the pathways linking abusive supervision to employees’ responses to the perceived abuse. The present study investigated the moderating effects of the impostor phenomenon on employees’ discretionary behaviors when abusive supervision is perceived. Findings from two studies reveal that employees who experience high levels of impostorism feelings indicate they may be more likely to engage in organizational citizenship behaviors and refrain from counterproductive work behaviors than employees who experience low levels of impostorism feelings. The theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Title: Dove: Shifting Standards and Ideal Self-Perception
Abstract: 
 Over the course of time, the propagation of “impossible” beauty standards in consumer culture has had a negative impact on women. Aware of the issue, the revered personal care brand, Dove, enhanced customer attitudes and perceptions about the brand through the application of social marketing. This study attempts to assess the concept of the ideal self and the factors that contributed to the effectiveness of Dove’s marketing strategies in terms of shifting the notions of the ideal self among women and the exchange of influence among brands to address an emerging social problem which mass media largely contributed to.

Title: Political Regimes, Trade Openness, and National Cultures: A Comparative Analysis of Democratic and Autocratic Regimes
Abstract: 
 We analyze the influence of political regimes (autocracy and democracy) and national cultures (power distance and uncertainty avoidance) of 22 countries on trade openness and international peace. Using R and structural equation modeling (SEM), we found support that as power distance increases, it has a more harmful effect on the trade openness–international peace relationship in both regimes. Thus, the trade openness–international peace relationship exhibits non-linearity in line with the trade expectations theory and movements of power distance. However, as uncertainty avoidance decreases, the political regime–trade openness relationship strengthens.

Title: Commercial Bank and Currency Bureau Exchange Rate Sell-Buy Spreads in a Northern Mexico Metropolitan Economy
Abstract: 
 Commercial banks and currency kiosk bureaus provide exchange services throughout Ciudad Juarez. This study employs newspaper data to examine how the bank and kiosk sell-buy spreads are affected by border crossings, the bilateral peso per dollar exchange rate, and 90-day Mexico – U.S. treasury yield differentials. Sample data are from January 2009 through June 2016. Parameter estimation is carried out using a GLS ARMAX procedure. Empirical results indicate that bank spreads increase as the peso weakens. Exchange bureau spreads decrease as cross-border traffic flows increase. Currency kiosk spreads tend to widen as 90-day yield gaps become larger.

Title: Do Exchange Rate Changes Improve the Trade Balance in GCC Countries: Evidence from Nonlinear Panel Cointegration
Abstract: 
 This study examines the asymmetric impact of the nominal effective exchange rate (NEER) on the trade balance in GCC countries over the period of 2000:Q1 to 2017:Q4. The empirical findings of the nonlinear pooled mean group (PMG) estimator reveal the presence of a J-curve shape where an increase in NEER (currency depreciation) deteriorates the trade balance in the short run and improves it in the long run. Findings also prove that the trade balance’s response to NEER positive changes is greater compared to negative changes. The policy implication of these findings reveals that NEER is a useful tool to sustain the trade balance.

Title: Singapore’s Trade in Financial and Insurance Services and the Role of the Exchange Rate: An Asymmetric Analysis
Abstract: 
 Two studies have assessed the link between the exchange rate and trade in services. While one study concluded that the U.S. insurance and financial service trade is not affected by the exchange rate, another study reversed that finding by applying a non-linear method. We add to this literature by considering Singapore’s experience. After estimating the linear and non-linear ARDL models using Singapore’s imports and exports of insurance and financial service trade, we conclude that changes in the real effective value of the Singapore dollar have both short-run and long-run effects on Singapore’s trade in both services.

Title: Dynamic Elasticities of the Trade Balance of Brazilian Agriculture in Relation to the Exchange Rate
Abstract: 
 This work examines the elasticities of the Brazilian agricultural trade balance in a dynamic, or non-linear, perspective since emerging economies such as Brazil are quite susceptible to internal and external shocks that can produce asymmetries in these elasticities. To this end, data from January 2000 to July 2019 are used, along with a time-varying cointegration analysis. The results suggest that the elasticities of the net exports in relation to the real exchange rate and foreign income were positive and elastic in practically the entire period considered. Domestic income had a negative influence, but with inelastic impacts and less variability.

Title: Third-Country Exchange Rate Volatility and Pakistan-China Trade at the Commodity Level
Abstract: 
 This study examines the impact of exchange rate volatility on China-Pakistan trade flows from 1980 to 2020. Using data from 42 import industries and 34 export sectors, bilateral trade between China and Pakistan is analyzed, with the US as the third country. Cointegration analysis reveals a strong relationship between Pakistan-China trade flows and exchange rate volatility. The yuan/dollar exchange rate negatively affects 22 import and 24 export industries in Pakistan, while the rupee/dollar exchange rate negatively impacts 31 import and 17 export industries. Findings suggest that the exchange rate volatility of the third country hampers bilateral trade between Pakistan and China.

Title: Export Product Concentration and Poverty Volatility in Developing Countries
Abstract: 
 The present article has examined the poverty volatility effect of export product concentration using a panel dataset of 120 developing countries over the period of 1980 to 2014. Results, based on the feasible generalized least squares estimator, suggest that export product concentration tends to induce greater poverty volatility in low-income countries but reduces poverty volatility in relatively advanced developing countries. These outcomes reflect the fact that export product concentration reduces poverty volatility in countries that improve their manufactured export performance. Finally, the greater the level of export product diversification (or economic complexity), the higher the degree of poverty volatility reduction.

Title: Trading Off Equality and Employment Gains in Sub-Saharan Africa
Abstract: 
 This study examines the interaction of trade, inequality, and unemployment in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) from 1997 to 2021. Results from the mean group and pooled mean group estimation revealed that international trade explains a 6% rise in inequality and a 43% rise in unemployment. Our findings provide evidence that international trade, as currently structured, is not beneficial to SSA countries, despite the adoption of trade liberalization policies and regional trade agreements (RTAs). We argue that SSA countries could still derive gains from trade if they undertake massive structural reforms that address labor market frictions and skills gaps in the region.

Title: Revisiting the Role of Institutional Structures in the Relationship Between Trade Openness and Poverty Reduction in Sub-Saharan Africa
Abstract: 
 The study investigates the conditioning effect of institutions in the relationship between trade openness and poverty reduction in Sub-Saharan African economies. Employing generalized method of moments, it was revealed that institutions influence the relationship between trade openness and poverty reduction in SSA. Thus, to reduce poverty in the region, SSA economies must first start by opening their economies to international trade. This could be achieved by reducing import and export taxes, focusing more on exporting value-added products and providing relevant training and information for importers and exporters. However, such attempts will be more fruitful in the presence of sound institutions.

Title: The International Economy Effects on Inequality: Revisiting International Trade, Economic Complexity, and Foreign Direct Investment
Abstract: 
 This study investigates the relationship between proxies of the international economy and inequality. We focus on 17 Latin American countries during the period of 1991 to 2017. The results suggest the inexistence of a relationship between inequality and the independent variables, with some exceptions that reveal an indirect effect for upper income economies associated to trade and foreign direct investment, after redistributive policies. In the case of upper-middle income economies, findings show an indirect effect between inequality and economic complexity before taxes and transfers. In the end, the policy implications suggest that Latin American countries could openly participate in the international economy process without increasing the levels of inequality.
