This article applies for the first time the framework developed by Redding and Venables (2004, Journal of International Economics, 62: 53–82) on a panel dataset restricted to advanced countries...
Imports as Product and Labour Market Discipline (2009)
Boulhol, Hervé, Dobbelaere, Sabien, Maioli, Sara
This paper tests the pro-competitive effect of trade in the product and labour markets of UK manufacturing sectors between 1988 and 2003 using a two-stage estimation procedure. In the first stage, we...
Gravity, log of gravity and the "distance puzzle" (2009)
Bosquet, Clément, Boulhol, Hervé
Estimations of gravity equations specified in logarithm generally conclude that the distance elasticity of trade has increased over time despite globalization. In contrast, building on Santos Silva...

Unemployment and interactions between trade and labour market institutions (2008)
There is ample evidence that a country's labour market institutions are important determinants of unemployment. This study generalises Davis' (1998) idea according to which the institutions of the...
