Description

This repository replicates all empirical and quantitative results in the paper and its appendices. The paper estimates the trade elasticity θ under five structural trade models — Armington, Eaton–Kortum (EK), BEJK, Krugman, and Melitz — using ICP price gap moments and bilateral trade flows for 30 countries in 2004, 2011, and 2017.
