Bilateral Trade Deficits and "Fair" Tariffs

WIFO Research Seminar

Organised by: Austrian Institute of Economic Research

Speaker:
Yoto V. Yotov

Language: English

WIFO, Helene-Lieser-Saal or online via MS Teams

Yoto V. Yotov and Gabriel Felbermayr demonstrate that the workhorse trade model – structural gravity model of trade – is very well suited to capture bilateral trade imbalances.

Participation via MS Teams

Then, they capitalise on this property to detect asymmetries in bilateral trade costs, which, in turn, may be the basis for the calculation of "fair" tariffs.
