"The Variety Effects of Trade Liberalization" Authors: Chen, Shenjie Abstract This paper contributes to empirical literature on trade in variety in the following two areas. First, it uses the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO)¡¯s cross-country trademark registration statistics to measure the recent trends in global trade in varieties. It confirms Haveman and Hummels¡¯ hypothesis that nations are trading far fewer varieties than commonly supposed, and there is a strong ¡°home bias¡¯ in the global production and consumption of differentiated products. Languages, trade liberalization, distances, and per capita income matter in trade in variety. Second, it uses Canadian Intellectual Property Office¡¯s and U.S. Intellectual Patent Office¡¯s trademark databases to track the bilateral trade in variety between Canada and the U.S. at detailed industrial levels. It finds that the CANUSFTA has significantly enhanced each country¡¯s access to varieties. |
