U.S. import and export elasticities: a panel data approach

Abstract

This article describes the creation of a new dataset on sectoral-level import and export elasticities in the U.S. between the years 1978 and 2001. It proposes the use of panel data techniques as a means of generating import price indexes, and then using them to measure trade elasticities while instrumenting for the endogeneous variables. In particular, it provides a dataset listing trade elasticities for a broad range of sectors at the North American Industry Classification System 4-digit, and 6-digit and the Harmonized Tariff System 6-digit, and 10-digit levels of industry aggregation. These results are compared to previous estimates in the literature. The resulting estimates can be used in a wide-range of applications in empirical studies of international trade policy, particularly in analyzing the welfare effects of international trade.

Model Proyeksi Ekspor Dan Impor - Volume Dan Harga

“…Hasilnya adalah hubungan positif antara nilai tukar efektif riil dan nilai ekspor. Hauk (2008) mengestimasi elastisitas penawaran ekspor AS periode 1978-2001 dengan data panel. Variabel-variabel yang mempengaruhi kuantitas ekspor adalah harga rata-rata ekspor AS, harga rata-rata barang impor AS, deflator PDB negara mitra dagang AS, PDB riil negara mitra dagang AS, dan nilai tukar USD dengan nilai tukar negara mitra dagang AS.…”

“…El estudio de los determinantes de las exportaciones ha sido enfocado mayoritariamente por el lado de la demanda de exportaciones, donde los precios de exportación pagados por cada país comprador, el producto o ingreso bruto del mismo (como medida del poder adquisitivo), los precios de los países competidores en las exportaciones y otras variables de integración o política comercial y cambiaria, constituyen las principales variables de interés como determinantes de la demanda de exportaciones a diferentes niveles de agregación (Onunkwo y Epperson, 2000;Cantavella et al, 2003;Gunawardana et al, 2008;Wong, 2008;Coronel y García Arancibia, 2011;Hauk, 2012;Zheng et al, 2012, entre otros). Desde el lado de la oferta hay menos antecedentes en la literatura empírica, particularmente en niveles de mayor desagregación de productos.…”

“…The fifth data series that we use are the estimated own‐price elasticities of demand for imports by U.S. consumers. These data (which are also reported in four‐digit NAICS sectors) come from our own research as described in Hauk (). Finally, we use the population of U.S. States as measured by the 1990 and 2000 U.S. Census.…”
