Dataset
  • The excel file dataset presents all the data used in the paper. It contains data on gdp, bilateral trade, current account and trade balance by country. 


Data and Gauss program used for counterfactual exercises 
Data:
  • The text file trade_04 contains the bilateral trade data used as an input in the program. Columns represent importers and rows represent exporters. The last row and column is the rest of the world (ROW). 
  • The text file catb_04 contains current account and trade balance data used to run the program. The first column has the current account data and the second column has the trade balance data. The last row contains world's total.
  • The text file gdp_04 contains gdp data used to run the program. The last row is rest of the world (ROW).
Program:
  • File deficit9 contains the program that generates the equilibrium variables and counterfactual excercises described in the paper. 
  • This file briefly explains the Alvarez-Lucas algorithm to get the equilibrium wages and prices in the model. 


Data and MATLAB program used for counterfactual exercises

Data:
  • The matlab file trade_04 contains the bilateral trade data used as an input in the program. Columns represent importers and rows represent exporters. The last row and column is the rest of the world (ROW).
  • The matlab file catb_04 contains current account and trade balance data used to run the program. The first column has the current account data and the second column has the trade balance data. The last row contains world's total.
  • The matlab file gdp_04 contains gdp data used to run the program. The last row is rest of the world (ROW).
    Program:
    • The matlab file dek contains the program that generates the equilibrium variables and counterfactual excercises described in the paper. It displays tables 1-4.
    • The readme file readmealgorithm briefly explains the Alvarez-Lucas algorithm to get the equilibrium wages and prices in the model.
