A Cluster Analysis of Multidimensional Poverty in Switzerland
Dans cet article, nous proposons une méthodologie qui offre de nouvelles perspectives dans le contexte de la pauvreté multidimensionnelle. Dans une première étape, on effectue une analyse factorielle afin de construire des indicateurs de pauvreté basés sur de nombreuses dimensions potentielles et sans imposer de contrainte à priori. Les variables de base sont alors combinées dans...

Revisiting the effects of regional trade agreements on trade flows with proper specification of the gravity model
This paper uses a gravity model to assess ex-post regional trade agreements. The model includes 130 countries and is estimated with panel data over the period 1962–1996. The introduction of the correct number of dummy variables allows for identification of Vinerian trade creation and trade diversion effects, while the estimation method takes into account the unobservable...

Market access and welfare under free trade agreements: textiles under NAFTA
The effective market access granted to textiles and apparel under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is estimated, taking into account the presence of rules of origin. First, estimates are provided of the effect of tariff preferences combined with rules of origin on the border prices of Mexican final goods exported to the United States and of U.S. intermediate goods...

On the Geography of Trade: Distance is Alive and Well
It has been widely argued that, with the decline in trade costs, the importance of distance has declined over time. On the other hand, most gravity models find that the importance of distance on bilateral trade has increased over time. This puzzle is examined here. The paper develops a new measure of the distance of trade (dot) and shows that the dot falls over the period 1962-2000...

Has distance died? Evidence from a panel gravity model
This paper reports panel gravity estimates of aggregate bilateral trade for 130 countries over the period 1962-96 in which the coefficient of distance is allowed to change over time. In a standard specification in which transport costs are proxied by distance only, it is found paradoxically that the absolute value of the elasticity of bilateral trade to distance has been...

Dette extérieure et situation sociopolitique. Quel rôle dans les dépenses publiques de santé dans les pays en développement?
Cet article se propose d’étudier les déterminants des dépenses publiques de santé dans les pays en développement en mettant plus particulièrement l’accent sur la contrainte financière extérieure, sur une dimension clé de la gouvernance, la corruption, et sur deux autres composantes de la situation socio-politique, l’agitation socio-politique et la dominance ethnique. On utilise pour...

How Much Market Access in FTAs? Textiles Under NAFTA
This paper estimates the effective market-access granted under NAFTA in textiles and apparel by combining two approaches. First, we estimate the effect of tariff preferences and rules of origin on the border prices of Mexican final goods exported to the US and of US intermediates exported to Mexico. We find that one third of the estimated rise in the border price of Mexican apparel...

African Regional Agreements: Impact on Trade with or without Currency Unions
The aim of this paper is (i) to assess the impact of regional agreements on members’ trade in Sub-Saharan Africa (intra-regional trade as well as trade with the rest of the world), controlling for the other traditional determinants and (ii) to compare the respective effect of the preferential trade agreements and the currency unions. Considering the period 1962–96, we first assess...

A Free Trade Area of The Americas: Any Gains for the South?
Building on the experience of NAFTA, and assuming that rules of origin (RoO) negotiated under NAFTA are likely to resemble those that would be agreed upon in an FTAA, this paper discusses how different RoO criteria would affect different Southern partners in a multi-stage production setting. Next, we use a combination of parametric and non-parametric methods to estimate the costs of...
