贸易开放是否会导致人均GDP上升?自从Frankel和Romer [F&R](1999)的开创性IV估计以来,重要的疑问已经浮出水面。这种相关性是虚假的,是由被忽略的地理和制度变量驱动的吗?仪器是否满足排除限制?在本文中,我们推广F&R的经验策略的面板设置。我们注意到,自然灾害增加了开放性。自然灾害与地理变量相互作用,可以用来构建一个因国家和时间而异的工具。因此,它可以用于可以控制未观察到的国家特征的面板设置。我们的结果证实了最初的发现。
Does trade openness cause higher GDP per capita? Since the seminal IV estimates of Frankel and Romer [F&R](1999) important doubts have surfaced. Is the correlation spurious and driven by omitted geographical and institutional variables? Does the instrument satisfy the exclusion restriction? In this paper, we generalize F&R’s empirical strategy to a panel setting. We observe that natural disasters increase openness. Interacted with geographical variables, natural disasters can be used to construct an instrument that varies across countries and time. It can, therefore, be used in panel setups where unobserved country characteristics can be controlled for. Our results confirm the original findings.
