The per-unit component of transport costs represents a sizeable share of total transport costs, between 30% and 45% depending on the year and the transport mode considered. We then investigate the important consequences of additive costs, under two different perspectives. First, modeling varying additive costs modifies the decomposition of transport costs time trend between the reduction in 'pure' transport costs and trade composition effects, the latter playing a minor role. Second, we revisit the welfare gains of the transport cost reduction in presence of additive costs. In this regard, we shed light on the welfare variations induced by the international trade acceleration and the 'hyper-globalization', as well as the key role of additive transport costs in determining those welfare variations.

We employ highly detailed customs data for Thailand from 2007 to 2011 to empirically investigate our theoretical predictions. Import processing time is measured using the difference between the dates on which import shipments arrive in ports and when they were released from the container yard. Results suggest that longer import processing times reduce total exports, particularly as a result of decreasing export frequency; this testifies to the importance of time costs in international trade. It is also revealed that negative effects of import processing time on exports per shipment appear in some specific instances, such as in the case of sea transportation. These results imply that the time spent in one stage has significant effects on both upstream and downstream stages in international production networks.}, keywords = {Thailand; Customs; import processing time}, year = {2019}, eissn = {1467-9701}, pages = {2070-2088} } @article{MTMT:30729573, title = {Pricing efficiency across destination markets for Norwegian salmon exports}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/30729573}, author = {Oglend, Atle and Straume, Hans-Martin}, doi = {10.1080/13657305.2018.1554722}, journal-iso = {AQUACULTURE ECON MANAG}, journal = {AQUACULTURE ECONOMICS AND MANAGEMENT}, volume = {23}, unique-id = {30729573}, issn = {1365-7305}, year = {2019}, eissn = {1365-7313}, pages = {188-203} } @article{MTMT:30575089, title = {Cod stories: Trade dynamics and duration for Norwegian cod exports}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/30575089}, author = {Asche, Frank and Cojocaru, Andreea L. and Gaasland, Ivar and Straume, Hans-Martin}, doi = {10.1016/j.jcomm.2017.12.002}, journal-iso = {J COMMOD MARK}, journal = {Journal of Commodity Markets}, volume = {12}, unique-id = {30575089}, issn = {2405-8513}, abstract = {In recent years, trade dynamics have been receiving increased attention, and the general literature indicates that commodities are different In this paper, the duration of trade relationships for Norwegian export firms to various markets is investigated for six product forms of one commodity, cod. The results indicate that the duration of most trade relationships is very short, and shorter than what is normally reported in the literature. Still, the substantial variation in duration by product form and factors influencing it, indicates heterogeneous dynamics for each supply chain even for slight differences in the characteristics of a commodity. Moreover, the short duration of trade relationships in the supply chains for Norwegian cod indicates that they remain very traditional food supply chains, with few attempts at reducing transaction costs through vertical coordination or relationships.}, keywords = {DURATION; COD; Seafood; TRADE; Customs data}, year = {2018}, eissn = {2405-8505}, pages = {71-79} } @article{MTMT:27476727, title = {Global firms}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/27476727}, author = {Bernard, A B and Jensen, J B and Redding, S J and Schott, P K}, doi = {10.1257/jel.20160792}, journal-iso = {J ECON LIT}, journal = {JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC LITERATURE}, volume = {56}, unique-id = {27476727}, issn = {0022-0515}, year = {2018}, eissn = {2328-8175}, pages = {565-619} } @article{MTMT:3303403, title = {Shipment frequency of exporters and demand uncertainty}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/3303403}, author = {Békés, Gábor and Fontagné, L and Muraközy, Balázs and Vicard, V}, doi = {10.1007/s10290-017-0286-0}, journal-iso = {REV WORLD ECON}, journal = {REVIEW OF WORLD ECONOMICS}, volume = {153}, unique-id = {3303403}, issn = {1610-2878}, year = {2017}, eissn = {1610-2886}, pages = {779-807} } @article{MTMT:26711221, title = {Trade costs shocks and lumpiness of imports: Evidence from the Fukushima disaster}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/26711221}, author = {Wagner, Joachim}, journal-iso = {ECONOMICS BULLETIN}, journal = {ECONOMICS BULLETIN}, volume = {37}, unique-id = {26711221}, issn = {1545-2921}, year = {2017}, pages = {149-+}, orcid-numbers = {Wagner, Joachim/0000-0001-6058-4536} } @article{MTMT:25563237, title = {A Balls-and-Bins Model of Trade: Comment}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/25563237}, author = {Blum, BS and Claro, S and Horstmann, IJ}, doi = {10.1257/aer.20140372}, journal-iso = {AM ECON REV}, journal = {AMERICAN ECONOMIC REVIEW}, volume = {106}, unique-id = {25563237}, issn = {0002-8282}, year = {2016}, eissn = {1944-7981}, pages = {843-851} } @article{MTMT:26377825, title = {Volatility and diversification of exports: Firm-level theory and evidence}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/26377825}, author = {Vannoorenberghe, Gonzague and Wang, Zheng and Yu, Zhihong}, doi = {10.1016/j.euroecorev.2016.07.002}, journal-iso = {EUR ECON REV}, journal = {EUROPEAN ECONOMIC REVIEW}, volume = {89}, unique-id = {26377825}, issn = {0014-2921}, year = {2016}, eissn = {1873-572X}, pages = {216-247} } @article{MTMT:26204699, title = {The Lumpiness of German Exports and Imports of Goods}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/26204699}, author = {Wagner, Joachim}, doi = {10.5018/economics-ejournal.ja.2016-21}, journal-iso = {ECONOMICS-KIEL}, journal = {ECONOMICS-THE OPEN-ACCESS OPEN-ASSESSMENT E-JOURNAL}, volume = {10}, unique-id = {26204699}, issn = {1864-6042}, year = {2016}, eissn = {1864-6042}, orcid-numbers = {Wagner, Joachim/0000-0001-6058-4536} }
