“…They find that high wages in the importing country tend to foster cross-border trade rather than affiliate sales and bilateral distance is especially detrimental to cross-border sales. In a similar analysis for the United States, Christen and Francois (2015) confirm the negative effect of distance on the importance of cross-border sales relative to foreign affiliate sales. In both studies, a large foreign market has no consistent effect on the choice between cross-border exports and commercial establishment.…”

“…Proceeding from research which presumes that economic delivery of services is fundamentally different from that for goods, most of this research has simply asked whether the same factors explain trade in services as trade in goods (e.g. Ceglowski, 2006;Kimura and Lee, 2006;Walsh, 2008;Head et al, 2009;Christen and Francois, 2015;Egger et al, 2012;Kandilov and Grennes, 2012;Guillin, 2013;van der Marel and Shepherd, 2013;Anderson et al, 2014). Most of these find that standard gravity variables had the same effects as to sign (i.e., distance and borders reduce trade, PTAs increase it).…”

The Role of Goods‐Trade Networks for Services‐Trade Volume

2015

In this paper, we address the role of countries' goods trade networks for their services trade volume. The paper employs a large cross-section of bilateral trade data on aggregate cross-border goods and services sales and illustrates that the depth and overlap of two countries' services networks induce a positive direct impact on their services trade volume. The evidence takes into account that goods trade flows and networks are potentially endogenous so that the estimated direct effects support a causal interpretation. We find that the magnitude of the multilateral goods-trade network effect on the bilateral services-trade volume is much larger than that of bilateral goods-trade volume.

Firm heterogeneity in services trade: Micro‐level evidence from eight OECD countries

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper shows that smaller and less productive firms, as well as first‐time exporters, are overproportionally affected by services trade barriers using micro‐data from Belgium, Finland, Germany, Italy, Japan, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States. For these firms, both the propensity to export and export volumes to less restrictive destinations are significantly higher than to more restrictive destinations. In contrast, policy barriers measured by the OECD Services Trade Restrictiveness Index (STRI) do not affect export decisions of the largest, most productive and experience services firms. The pattern holds for two major modes of supply, cross‐border services exports and foreign affiliate sales of services firms. The findings are consistent with firm sorting mechanisms in trade models with heterogeneous firms and hysteresis of export participation in the presence of sunk export costs.
