OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
A Structural Trade Performance Index (with James Anderson and Mario Larch)
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.
