SUMMARY:SANTAMARIA Marta (Warwick University) - "Community Networks and Trade"
DESCRIPTION:Applied Micro Seminar : Every Tuesday \nTime: 12:15 pm – 13:30 pm\nDate: 4th of April\nRoom : 3001 \nMarta SANTAMARIA – “Community Networks and Trade” \nAbstract : \nDo community networks shape firm-to-firm trade in emerging economies? We study the role of communities in facilitating firm-to-firm trade and firm outcomes using data on firm-to-firm transactions and firm owners’ community (castes) affiliations for the universe of medium- and large- sized firms in West Bengal\, India. We find that firms are substantially more likely to trade\, and trade more\, with firms from their own caste. Studying the mechanisms underlying this effect\, we find evidence consistent both with castes alleviating trade frictions and taste-based discrimination by firms against those outside their community. Guided by these stylized facts\, we develop a model of firm-to-firm trade in which communities affect pair productivity and matching costs and estimate the model using our reduced-form estimates. A counterfactual extending the positive effects of castes on trade to all potential supplier-client pairs would increase the number of network links by 60% and increase average firm-to-firm sales by 20%. \n  \nLink to the paper here \n  \nJoint work with : Johannes Boken\, Lucie Gadenne and Tushar Nandi \n  \nOrganizers:\nBenoît SCHMUTZ (Pôle d’économie du CREST)\nRoland RATHELOT (Pôle d’économie du CREST)\nSponsors:\nCREST \n
