This paper finds that the estimates of Armington elasticities (the elasticity of substitution between groups of products identified by country of origin) obtained from multilateral trade data can differ from those obtained from bilateral trade data. In particular, the former tends to be higher than the latter when trade consists largely of intermediate inputs. Given that the variety of intermediate inputs traded across borders is increasing rapidly, and that the effect of this increase is not adequately captured in multilateral trade data, the evidence shows that the use of multilateral trade data to estimate Armington elasticities needs caution.

In an Armington trade setting the Armington elasticity is the substitution elasticity between the foreign and domestic variety of a product. Armington substitution elasticities are important parameters in CGE trade models, however little is known about what determines their size. Therefore, many CGE models take Armington elasticities to be the same for each country, even though in reality Armington elasticities are likely to vary across countries. This thesis aimed to find the determinants of heterogeneity of Armington elasticities across countries. To achieve this, in a first stage, over 300 Armington elasticities where estimated for 29 very disaggregate products in 14 EU countries. Armington elasticities were found to be heterogeneous across countries and the average of the Armington elasticity was found to be close to unity, which is in accordance with other empiric literature. Using a linear regression approach similar to that of Blonigen and Wilson (1999), the country characteristic determinants of Armington elasticities were estimated. Different regression methods where used to regress the Armington elasticities found in the first stage on 10 possible economic and social country characteristic determinants of Armington elasticities. It was found that the size of a country’s Armington elasticity depends positively on imports from outside the EU (far away) and negatively on GDP/capita and the level of urbanisation of a country. This study also confirmed results found in literature that intermediate goods have higher Armington elasticities than final goods.

The elasticity of substitution between goods from different countries---the Armington elasticity---is important for many questions in international economics, but its magnitude is subject to debate: the "macro" elasticity between home and import goods is often found to be smaller than the "micro" elasticity between foreign sources of imports. We investigate these two elasticities in a model using a nested CES preference structure. We explore estimation techniques for the macro and micro elasticities using both simulated data from a Melitz-style model, and highly disaggregate U.S. production data matched to Harmonized System trade data. We find that in up to one-half of goods there is no significant difference between the macro and micro elasticities, but in the other half of goods the macro elasticity is significantly lower than the micro elasticity, even when they are estimated at the same level of disaggregation.

Changing Patterns of Global Trade outlines the factors underlying important shifts in global trade that have occurred in recent decades. The emergence of global supply chains and their increasing role in trade patterns allowed emerging market economies to boost their inputs in high-technology exports and is associated with increased trade interconnectedness.The analysis points to one important trend taking place over the last decade: the emergence of China as a major systemically important trading hub, reflecting not only the size of trade but also the increase in number of its significant trading partners.

Trade flows and trade policies need to be properly quantified to describe, compare, or follow the evolution of policies between sectors or countries or over time. This is essential to ensure that policy choices are made with an appropriate knowledge of the real conditions. This practical guide introduces the main techniques of trade and trade policy data analysis. It shows how to develop the main indexes used to analyze trade flows, tariff structures, and non-tariff measures. It presents the databases needed to construct these indexes as well as the challenges faced in collecting and processing these data, such as measurement errors or aggregation bias. Written by experts with practical experience in the field, A Practical Guide to Trade Policy Analysis has been developed to contribute to enhance developing countries' capacity to analyze and implement trade policy. It offers a hands-on introduction on how to estimate the distributional effects of trade policies on welfare, in particular on inequality and poverty. The guide is aimed at government experts engaged in trade negotiations, as well as students and researchers involved in trade-related study or research. An accompanying DVD contains data sets and program command files required for the exercises. Copublished by the WTO and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development
