Abstract
This study investigates how geographic and linguistic characteristics of immigrants’ origin countries affect the spillover effect on trade with third party countries. The results provide clear evidence of an inter-ethnic spillover effect and, within it, separately identify the role of spoken language, official language, and geographic proximity of the origin country to the trading partner. We also distinguish the ethnic spillover effect from the inter-ethnic spillover effect by focusing on the role of native tongue. Lastly, we document a trade diversion effect by immigrants who are neither geographically nor linguistically close to the trading partner country.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
