Do preferential trade agreements (PTAs) lead to greater market integration, more intense competition and less market power for firms? This paper integrates the detailed data on 257 preferential trade agreements from the World Bank's Deep Trade Agreements (DTA) database with administrative customs datasets of product-level exports by firms from thirteen developing and emerging countries to estimate the responsiveness of firm-level exports, export prices, and destination-specific markups to trade and domestic policy commitments enshrined in deep trade agreements. The findings suggest that both the direct and indirect effects of deep trade agreement provisions on export sales are quantitatively significant. Perhaps more interestingly, the finding of a suggestive evidence of a pro-competitive effect of PTAs.

This paper studies the role of airlift supply on the tourism sector in the Caribbean. The paper examines the relative importance of U.S.-Caribbean airlift supply factors such as the number of flights, seats, airlines, and departure cities on U.S. tourist arrivals. The possible endogeneity problem between airlift supply and tourist arrivals is addressed by using a structural panel VAR and individual country VARs. Among the four airlift supply measures, increasing the number of flights is found to be the most effective way to boost tourist arrivals on a sustained basis. As a case study, the possible crowding effect of increasing the number of U.S. flights to Cuba is investigated and, based on past observations, we find no significant impact on flights to other Caribbean countries. The impact of natural disasters on airlift supply and tourist arrivals is also quantified.

This paper estimates the value of urban trees and shows their ability to moderate temperatures during heatwaves and reduce energy consumption. The empirical strategy exploits an ecological catastrophe--the Emerald Ash Borer infestation in Toronto--to isolate exogenous variation in neighborhood tree canopy changes and finds that a single tree adds 0.45% to property prices within a postal code; the hardest-hit areas lost 7 percentage points in tree canopy cover, resulting in a 7% property price decline. Trees significantly cool urban areas and save energy, but their total amenity value surpasses the value of these ecosystem services, highlighting their cost-effectiveness in combating urban heat island effects.
