    Trade Barriers and Market Power: Evidence from Argentina’s Discretionary Import Restrictions

    Countries are increasingly turning to non-tariff barriers that are hard to measure and often illegal under WTO rules. What are the impacts of these policies, and what do they reveal about market power in international trade? We study a comprehensive system of discretionary import licenses imposed by Argentina, where we observe the universe of transaction-level requests and approval decisions...

    Unilateral Carbon Pricing and Heterogeneous Firms

    Unilateral carbon pricing raises concerns about carbon leakage, prompting calls for protecting exposed industries through either free allocations of emission permits or a carbon border adjustment mechanism.

    Steering of Consumer Behavior by Conversational Artificial Intelligence

    Conversational AI models are becoming increasingly popular and are about to replace traditional search engines for information retrieval and product discovery.

    Despite Rising Shares of Women on Executive And Supervisory Boards, Gender Parity Remains A Far-off Goal

    In 2024, the share of women on the top decision-making boards of the largest companies in Germany increased. A solid 19 percent of all executive board members at the 200 largest companies are now women, and almost 26 percent of members at the 40 largest listed companies are women.

    The Non-linear Impact of Risk Tolerance on Entrepreneurial Profit and Business Survival

    Entrepreneurs tend to be risk tolerant but is higher risk tolerance always better? In a sample of about 2100 small businesses, we find an inverted U-shaped relation between risk tolerance and profitability. This relationship holds in a simple bilateral regression, and even after controlling for a large set of individual and business characteristics. Apparently, one major transmission goes from risk ...

    Multi-mode Trade Policy Retaliation

    Previous studies have found evidence that countries may choose to retaliate against countries for certain trade actions.  What has not been empirically examined is the use of multi-modal retaliation in trade policy. Using an exporter-importer-sector panel of antidumping (AD), sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS), and technical barriers to trade (TBT) actions between 1995 and 2019, we find evidence of...

    Broken Ties: Impact of Venezuela’s Suspension from Mercosur on Trade Networks

    This paper examines the impact of sanctions on the structure of regional supply chains, focusing on Venezuela's suspension from the Mercosur trade bloc in 2016. To analyze this, we exploit a uniquely comprehensive database encompassing firm-to-firm transactions across several Latin American economies from 2014 to 2019. Our findings reveal how buyer-supplier linkages adapted to the shock along...
