The Elasticity of Trade with Respect to Trade Costs: A Meta-Analysis
Tlustá, Anna ; Havránek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Baxa, Jaromír (referee)
The goal of this thesis is to present a meta-analysis of studies that are focused on the relation between the international trade flow and the trade costs. The effect of trade costshasbecomeoneofthekeyelementstoresolvethesixmajor puzzles in the bilateral trade flow. I examine 1,090 estimates of the trade cost effect reported in 58 studies, codify 51 aspects of study design that may influencetheestimates.Iuse meta-regression analysis to investigate why trade costs effects vary. The results suggest that different methods and mainly data characteristics systematically affect the estimated trade costs effects. I find evidence for publication selection bias by using the appropriate tests. The authors of primary studies tend to report preferentially large estimates of the elasticity of trade with respect to trade costs. The evidence for publication selection bias is stronger for studies reported in peer-reviewed journals thanfor unpublished studies.
The Effect of Distance on International Trade: A Meta-Analysis
Tlustá, Anna ; Havránek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Zeynalov, Ayaz (referee)
Over the time the effect of distance has became an essential component for understanding international trade flows. The main goal of my bachelor thesis is to collect specific data from each study concerning the distance effect and design meta-analysis based on this dataset. I build my work on the data published by Anne-Celia Disdier and Keith Head (The puzzling persistence of the distance effect on bilateral trade) that were relevant in 2006. I examine 1470 estimates reported in 130 studies. Since the previous meta-analysis does not include all required methods to reveal the publication bias, I focus mainly on this issue by incorporating all the appropriate tests. Finally, I disprove the argument that distance effects on bilateral trade decline over time and I explain the presence of heterogeneity among the estimates. 1
