Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

 

FIW is pleased to announce the next edition of FIW-Trade Talks.

Harald Oberhofer discusses the topic ‘How great-power trade policy is reshaping globalization’’ with Iana Dreyer, the founder and editor of Borderlex.

Time: November 27, 4:00 p.m.

FIW Trade Talks is a series of events organized by the Research Centre International Economics (FIW). International economic researchers or high-level policy makers are interviewed on current topics in international economics and economic policy.

Einladung: Seminar in International Economics: The geography of production and sourcing in the weightless economy: Evidence from open-source software | 14.11.2023

 

The geography of production and sourcing in the weightless economy:
Evidence from open-source software

Vortragender: Gábor Békés (Central European University)
Diskutant: Thi Thanh Ha Doan (Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia)

Zeit: 14. November 2023, 14:00 – 15:00 Uhr

Ort: Online-Event (Zoom)

Registrierung: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_1yntsVOoSl6vgEYUTmsTbA?_x_zm_rtaid=Lk-R6RWyQFS17VvnfrICtA.1699351556471.ad687b92c4056f1cd7a1fc0653387d85&_x_zm_rhtaid=353#/registration

 

Abstract:

Trade costs, broadly defined, limit interaction between far-away economic agents and motivate them to concentrate in close proximity to one another. The gravity equation, which assigns a large role for geographic distance as a determinant of trade costs, has been remarkably successful in explaining patterns of international and international goods trade between firms, services trade, individual mobility and migration, and even scientific collaboration. It is unclear, however, why distance is relevant for sectors in which direct trade costs are zero. We study patterns of interaction when the good in question is ‘weightless’ using data from the open-source software industry. We find that importing other software packages as dependencies is at most weakly correlated with distance. By contrast, collaboration between different developers on the same piece of software is strongly decaying with distance. These results suggest that geography continues to matter for goods and services where collaboration is frequent and deep.

 

Die Seminarreihe wird vom Wiener Institut für Internationale Wirtschaftsvergleiche (wiiw) in Zusammenarbeit mit dem FIW sowie dem European University Institute organisiert. Das Seminar bietet ein Forum für die Präsentation und Diskussion aktueller akademischer Forschung im Bereich der internationalen Wirtschaft.
