  • Eco-Labelling and the Gains from Agricultural and Food Trade: A Ricardian Approach
    2016
    Co-Authors: Kari E.r. Heerman, Ian M. Sheldon
    Abstract:

    Following a modern Ricardian approach, trade in environmental products with eco‐labelling is modelled. Based on the model, expressions are derived for the Share of products an importer purchases from a specific exporter for low‐cost and environmentally‐friendly technologies. It is then shown that, using bilateral trade and production data, the Share Equation for low‐cost‐technologies can be estimated, from which parameters describing trade costs and average productivity can then be retrieved. Using the latter parameters, it is also shown how the Share Equation for environmentally‐friendly technologies can then be used to retrieve a parameter describing eco‐labelling costs. The consumer and environmental gains from eco‐labelling are also analyzed, along with a discussion and comparison of the effects of mutual recognition versus harmonization of countries’ eco‐labelling regimes.

  • Share Equations versus Double Logarithmic Functions in the Estimation of Income, Own- and Cross-Price Elasticities
    1999
    Co-Authors: Emil Stavrev, Gueorgui Kambourov
    Abstract:

    In this paper, we compare the results obtained by using double logarithmic demand functions with the one obtained by using functions that relate budget Shares to the logarithms of prices and incomes in order to estimate income elasticities and own- and cross-price elasticities for a number of categories of goods. The Share Equation functional form allows us to model households which do not purchase all goods and estimate unconditional demands that are of interest for policy purposes. We report income elasticities and own- and cross-price elasticities for eight goods for 1993. We compare these estimates with those obtained by using the double logarithmic demand specification.

  • Export activity, persistence and mark-ups
    Applied Economics, 2010
    Co-Authors: Lourdes Moreno Martín, Diego Rodríguez Rodríguez
    Abstract:

    This article addresses the differences in margins across exporting and nonexporting firms. We jointly estimate a translog cost function, a variable factor Share Equation and price-cost margin Equations to analyse the effect of persistence in export activity on margins. Results indicate that nonexporters have smaller margins than persistent exporters and firms that entered foreign markets during the nineties. However, larger export ratio is negatively associated with margins for persistent exporters. It suggests that efficiency advantages for exporters are partially compensated by higher competitive pressure in international markets. These results are in accordance with the predictions of Melitz and Ottaviano (2005).

  • Domestic and foreign price-marginal cost margins: An application to Spanish manufacturing firms
    Review of International Economics, 2004
    Co-Authors: Lourdes Moreno, Diego Rodríguez Rodríguez
    Abstract:

    The authors investigate the differences in margins of export and domestic markets for Spanish manufacturing firms in the period 1990 to 1997. They estimate jointly a multiproduct cost function, a variable factor Share Equation, and two price/marginal-cost margin Equations. The results indicate that the marginal cost of production sold in export markets is slightly greater than in domestic markets. At the same time, the price/marginal-cost margins in export markets are smaller than in domestic markets. There is also strong evidence that margins are procyclical in domestic markets, but this evidence is less clear in foreign markets.
