Abstract:
There is strong empirical evidence that countries with lower per capita
income tend to have smaller trade volumes even after controlling for
aggregate income. Furthermore, poorer countries do not just trade less,
but have a lower number of trading partners. In this paper, I construct
and estimate a general equilibrium model of trade that captures both
these features of the trade data. There are two novelties in the paper.
First, I introduce an association between market access costs and
countries' development levels, which can account for the effect of per
capita income on trade volumes and explain many zeros in bilateral
trade flows. Secondly, I develop an estimation procedure, which allows
me to estimate both variable and fixed costs of trade. I find that
given the estimated parameters, the model performs well in matching the
data. In particular, the predicted trade elasticity with respect to
income per capita is close to that in the data.
