Trade misreporting
This paper provides direct evidence of attempted tax evasion in response to changes in tariff rates in a small open economy using transaction‐level customs data for Pakistani importers.

We demonstrate that higher duty rates are associated with a greater misdeclaratio…
Understanding Canada's International Trade under the Trans-Pacific Partnership
This article applies the traditional gravity model of trade to explore the effects of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) in the context of Canada and, subsequently, draws on the theoretical gravity framework incorporating trade costs derived by Anderson and van Wincoop (2003). It provides a decomposition of the growth of Canada's trade flow with each of its top trading partners. The growth of Canada's bilateral trade with the prospective TPP mem…
