Does Immigration Grow the Pie? Asymmetric Evidence from Germany
Nicolo Maffei-Faccioli (UAB, BGSE and IGIER, Bocconi University) and Eugenia Vella (University of Sheffield and MOVE) Abstract: We provide empirical evidence suggesting that net migration shocks can have substantial demand effects, potentially acting like positive Keynesian supply shocks. Using monthly administrative data (2006-2019) for Germany in a structural VAR, we show that the shocks stimulate…
Export Prices and Markups with a Common Currency: Empirical Evidence from Greek Exporting Firms and Euro Adoption
Kyriakos Drivas (University of Pireaus), Sarantis Kalyvitis (AUEB), Margarita Katsimi (AUEB and CESIfo) Abstract: We estimate the effect of euro adoption on prices using data on Greek exporters spanning over the period 1999-2007. The overall impact of the euro on the prices of exports was negligible, but it masks significant heterogeneity across firms with different…

Vangelis Pastelakos (AUEB), Yannis Bilias (AUEB) and Panos Hatzipanayotou (AUEB) Abstract: A growing literature on competitiveness and international trade has highlighted the importance of firm-level factors for exporting. We overcome the data unavailability by collecting data on Greek firms’ international operations via a survey. Our findings indicate that export changes are mostly related to foreign demand…
Variable Export Price Elasticities and Credit Constraints: Theory and Evidence from Greek Firms E. Dinopoulos (University of Florida), Sarantis Kalyvitis (AUEB), Margarita Katsimi (AUEB and CESIfo)

Katsimi (AUEB and CESIfo) Abstract: We propose a simple model of trade with endogenous quality, non-homothetic preferences and credit constraints. A unique data set of Greek manufacturing firms with firm-level exports,…

Θεώνη Κακουλίδου, Σαράντης Καλυβίτης, Μαργαρίτα Κατσίμη, Θωμάς Μούτος. Περίληψη της Μελέτης Η περιορισμένη ανταγωνιστικότητα της ελληνικής οικονομίας αποτέλεσε έναν καθοριστικό παράγοντα πυροδότησης της κρίσης χρέους, ενώ ταυτόχρονα συνέβαλε στην παρατεταμένη αδυναμία προσαρμογής στα προ κρίσης επίπεδα οικονομικής δραστηριότητας. Η απώλεια διεθνούς ανταγωνιστικότητας της ελληνικής οικονομίας συνδέθηκε με μια ταχεία αύξηση του κόστους εργασίας ως το…
