| Sumario: | This paper tests the effects of students´ movements from eleven LAIA countries into nine
OECD economies on bilateral trade flows during years 1971 to 2012. We use several
cofactors, different econometric specifications and controls for endogeneity. Our main results
are that education networks have positive and significant effects on bilateral exports and
imports. The impact of students on trade is higher during the cold war period than afterwards,
and it concentrates on differentiated goods. Political, cultural and institutional similarities
decrease the effect. We find the impact of education networks to be robust to different
specifications and regressors. |
