  • The Impact of Autonomous Truck Technology on US Interstate Trade

    Open AccessTaejun Mo, Sandy Dall’erba et al.ARTICLEJournal of Regional Science2026

    Recent advances in autonomous and semi‐autonomous vehicle technologies promise substantial cost savings for goods shipped by truck. In this study, we quantify the impacts of these transport cost reductions on the US interstate trade using a structural gravity model of domestic trade. Based on projected cost savings from the widespread adoption of self‐driving technologies, we estimate significant increases in total interstate trade value. State‐l…

  • Difference-in-differences with endogenous externalities

    Open AccessSandy Dall’erba, André Luis Squarize Chagas et al.ARTICLEPapers of the Regional Science…2025References: 7

    The difference-in-difference (DID) framework is now a well-accepted method in quasi-experimental research. However, DID does not consider treatment-induced changes to a network linking treated and control units. The endogenous network DID methodology we offer here (ENDID) controls for the direct and indirect role of the treatment on any network member. In addition, we control for the sensitivity of the network to the treatment and its endogeneity…

  • The Covid ‐19 pandemic and trade in agricultural products

    Open AccessWilliam Ridley, Sherzod B Akhundjanov et al.ARTICLEWorld Economy2023

    In this study, we develop a structural gravity model to analyse the effects of the ongoing COVID‐19 pandemic on international trade in food and agriculture. Using detailed data on trade flows, we estimate the trade impacts of the pandemic for major sectors in food and agriculture. Supply‐side impacts on trade caused by reductions in labour tend to be largest in labour‐intensive sectors such as meat processing and processed fruit and vegetables. T…

  • The impact and externalities of natural disasters on local tax revenue in Colombia

    Jhorland Ayala‐García, Sandy Dall’erba et al.ARTICLERegional Studies2022Cited by: 1References: 1

    This paper studies the impact of natural disasters on tax revenue across Colombian municipalities. We follow a two-step approach to evaluate how a municipality’s tax revenue depends on natural disasters taking place both locally and in its trade partners. In the first step, we estimate a gravity model of bilateral trade and construct a matrix of estimated bilateral trade shares, allowing us to measure the strength of the economic relationships be…
