This study investigates the J-curve effect at the US state level, revealing that only 11 US states support the asymmetric J-curve for wood products, whereas 10 US states support the asymmetric inverse J-curve (shown in Appendix 2 online). Furthermore, high tariffs imposed by the US improved trade balances for only three states, implying that the high-tariff policy did not enhance the US wood-based trade balance with Canada.","PeriodicalId":35638,"journal":{"name":"International Trade Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47286406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Clarke","doi":"10.1080/08853908.2023.2215999","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/08853908.2023.2215999","url":null,"abstract":"Dear Readers, Welcome to the fourth issue of The International Trade Journal (ITJ)’s thirty-seventh volume. The articles in this issue focus on international finance and accounting. They look at how the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) affects trade in accounting services, the relationship between foreign investors and tunneling, commodity trade mispricing in Laos, and the relationship between economic integration and share prices in Nigeria. The first article, by Melissa Shirah, Kristie Briggs, and Sijing Wei, looks at whether adopting IFRS accounting standards affects countries’ exports of accounting services. Using a gravity model of trade, they find that accounting exports between countries are no higher when both countries have adopted IFRS than when one, or both, partners have not adopted these standards. They argue that this suggests that adopting IFRS fails to effectively lower regulatory barriers to trade in accounting services. The second article, by Tanvir Ahmed, Qaisar Ali Malik, Babar Zaheer Butt, and Muhammad Aksar, looks at the relationship between corporate governance, foreign institutional investors, and tunneling activities in Pakistan. The study finds an inverted U-shaped relationship between foreign institutional investors and tunneling, with tunneling first increasing and then decreasing as foreign institutional investors’ trading increases. Improved corporate governance moderates this relationship. The third article, by Rahul Mehrotra, Vanthana Nolintha, and Vanxay Sayavong, looks at trade mispricing in the coffee and copper sectors in Laos. Using micro-level transaction data, the authors find significant underpricing of coffee exports, and overand underpricing of copper concentrate exports, but little evidence of trade mispricing for refined copper. They argue that this is due to trade between related firms, regulatory problems, and weak capacity in the country’s customs agency. The final article, by Ebenezer Adesoji Olubiyi, looks at how economic integration between Nigeria and its five major trade partners (the United States, China, India, the Netherlands, and Spain) affects stock market performance in Nigeria and its trading partners. The author finds that integration","PeriodicalId":35638,"journal":{"name":"International Trade Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43789762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We analyze how well modern trade theories and ideas from political economy explain the European Union/United States banana trade war that started in 1993. We show that older trade models, like the Heckscher-Ohlin theorem, only explain observed trade patterns with several core assumptions relaxed. In contrast, the New Trade Theory, with the introduction of heterogeneous firms and monopolistic competition, presents a much more convincing explanation for the banana trade. Finally, we analyze the role of political economy in facilitating the rise and fall of economically inefficient banana tariffs over the course of a two-decade trade war.","PeriodicalId":35638,"journal":{"name":"International Trade Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43452781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Clarke","doi":"10.1080/08853908.2023.2195579","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/08853908.2023.2195579","url":null,"abstract":"Dear Readers, Welcome to the third issue of The International Trade Journal (ITJ)’s thirtyseventh volume. The articles in this issue focus on firm behavior related to trade. The articles look at how entry by Chinese firms affected Brazilian firms, how the end of the multi-fiber agreement (MFA) affected Indian garment and textile firms, how market size and competition affect firms’ export diversification, how financial constraints affect firm productivity, and how characteristics of CEOs affect the likelihood that a firm will expand internationally. The first article in this issue, by Mauricio Moreira, Marisol Rodriguez Chatruc, Filipe Lage, and Federico Merchan, looks at how pressure from Chinese imports affected Brazilian firms between 2000 and 2013. The authors focus on this period because it covers the period just before and following China’s entry into the World Trade Organization in December 2001. The authors find that increased Chinese imports modestly increased productivity among Brazilian firms exposed to this competition. In contrast, increased competition with Chinese imports appears to have reduced employment growth and innovation at these same firms. The results for innovation, however, are less robust than the results for productivity. The second article, by Tanveer Ahmad Khan, looks at how the end of the MFA affected Indian garment and textile firms. Using difference-in-difference estimation, the author finds that after the MFA ended, Indian firms increased export revenues, sales, and total assets in sub-sectors where firms had faced binding quotas while the MFA was in place. Using product-level data, the authors also find that prices of Indian quota-constrained products fell by 39% after the quotas were removed. This suggests that the rise in export revenue was due to firms exporting more rather than to higher prices. The third article, by Aya Elewa and Chahir Zaki, looks at how market size and competition affect within-firm export product diversification. Using data from Egyptian firms from between 2005 and 2016, the authors find that firms’ exports tend to be less concentrated in destination countries with larger and less competitive markets. They note that their results are stronger and more robust for larger firms than they are for smaller firms.","PeriodicalId":35638,"journal":{"name":"International Trade Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45900361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
