Data & Code

• Gravity Distances

• Gravity-consistent aggregate distances between countries and other geographical entities details 

• glmhdfe

• R package that implements a fast estimation procedure of generalized linear models with high dimensional fixed effects. The package makes use of a convenient property of *some* combinations of error term distributions and link functions, where the fixed effects have — conditional on all other estimated parameters — an explicit solution. details 

• gravity.distances

• R package that provides distances between geographic entities — such as countries, US states or Canadian provinces — that are consistent with the gravity equation in international economics. details 

• KITE

• The KITE model provides a tool for simulating and estimating various types of (trade) policy changes. The underlying model uses a computable general equilibrium (CGE) framework of the type that is commonly described as "New Quantitative Trade Model". The package allows the user to run different models within the same quantitative framework. Included models are: - Caliendo, Lorenzo, and Fernando Parro. 2015. "Estimates of the Trade and Welfare Effects of NAFTA." The Review of Economic Studies 82 (1): 1–44. - Sonali Chowdhry, Julian Hinz, Katrin Kamin and Joschka Wanner. 2024. "Brothers in arms: The value of coalitions in sanctions regimes." Economic Policy, forthcoming. details
