Trade, Internal Migration, and Human Capital
How do trade shocks affect welfare and inequality when human capital is endogenous? Using India’s IT boom and internal migration data, I document that IT employment and engineering enrollment increased with exports, especially in regions with larger college-age populations. I develop a spatial model featuring higher education choice and differential migration costs for college versus work. The IT boom increased welfare by 2.39%, but without educa…
Trade policy and exporters’ resilience
How does trade policy affect exporters’ ability to source intermediate inputs and adjust exports in response to foreign shocks? The analysis exploits new disaggregated, time-varying data on non-tariff measures (NTMs) faced by Indonesian firms. In response to a depreciation of the Yuan, which makes Chinese exports more competitive in third markets, Indonesian firms facing NTMs on their inputs see a much larger drop in their export values compared …

What is the impact on intra-national trade and regional economic outcomes when the quality and lane-capacity of an existing paved road network is expanded significantly? We investigate this question for the case of Turkey, which undertook a large-scale public investment in roads during the 2000s. Using spatially disaggregated data on road upgrades and domestic transactions, we estimate a large positive impact of reduced travel times on trade as w…
