Empirical Productivity Distributions and International
Trade (Online event)
Vortragende: Katharina Erhardt, Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf
Zeit: Donnerstag, 02. Dezember 2021, 15:00 Uhr
Registrierungslink: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_sKfBPEuoS_yyG3Ng3Pcybg
Der
Einwahllink wird Ihnen unmittelbar nach der Registrierung zugeschickt.
Sprache:
Englisch
Description:
The presentation is based on a
paper
co-authored with Peter H. Egger and Sergey Nigai.
We develop
a novel theory-consistent methodology that allows us to recover nonparametric firm-level productivity distributions for 15 countries and 18 sectors using data on aggregated firm-level sales.
We use these distributions
against the backdrop of a multi-sector version of a standard Melitz (2003) trade model to quantify the role of technology in shaping international trade flows. We find that, on average, absolute advantage measured as productivity differences across countries
within sectors explains 14% of the total variation in bilateral trade shares. In contrast, on average, comparative advantage measured as productivity differences across sectors within countries explains 43% of the variation in trade flows in the workhorse
model. We also demonstrate that empirical productivity distributions entail quantitatively important micro-to-macro implications for marginal responses of trade flows to changes in trade costs, for gravity-type estimation of trade models, and for comparative
statics isomorphism between the customarily parameterized models of international trade. We confirm the theoretical predictions derived under empirical productivity distributions in the data.
The Anatomy of Post-Communist Regimes: A Challenge to
the Mainstream Comparative Approach (Online event)
Vortragender: Bálint Magyar, CEU Democracy Institute (Hungary)
Zeit: Donnerstag, 16. Dezember 2021, 15:00 Uhr

Description:
The presentation is based on a book
which is open access and can be downloaded for free from the authors’ website,
postcommunistregimes.com
The Anatomy
of Post-Communist Regimes (CEU Press, 2020) proposes a systematic renewal of the descriptive vocabulary used for the region’s political, economic, and social phenomena. Focusing on Central Europe, the post-Soviet countries, and China, this study provides concepts
and theories to analyze the actors, institutions, and dynamics of post-communist democracies, autocracies, and dictatorships.
