dc.description.abstract | We discuss how standard computable equilibrium models of trade policy can be enriched with selection effects. This is achieved by estimating and simulating a partial equilibrium model that accounts
for a number of real world effects of trade liberalisation: richer availability of product varieties; tougher
competition and weaker market power of firms; better exploitation of economies of scale; and, of course,
efficiency gains via firms selection. The model is estimated on EU data and then simulated in counter-factual scenarios. Gains from trade are much larger in the presence of selection effects with substantial
variability across countries and sectors. | no_NO |
