On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Capitalizing on major developments in the theoretical and empirical trade literature, we propose a novel Structural Trade Performance Index (STPI) with the following properties: (i) STPI is meaningful and informative, e.g., it is comparable to the prominent terms-of-trade (ToT) index; (ii) STPI is representative of a wide class of trade models; (iii) STPI is very easy to construct; (iv) The most comprehensive version of STPI requires only bilateral trade flows data. Thus, STPI offers wide coverage; (v) STPI is normalization-free; (vi) STPI can be constructed at the sectoral level, consistently aggregated across various dimensions and decomposed into informative structural components; (vii) STPI is a structural general equilibrium index that can be used for counterfactual analysis. An application to the World Input-Output Database validates some of STPI’s attractive properties and demonstrates its usefulness for analysis of trade performance across countries and over time.
