Trade Finance and Exports: Firm-level Evidence from China.

When we proxy trade finance by the sum of trade finance loans and export-adjusted notes receivable, elasticity estimates range between 0.18-0.31 depending on the sample of exporters. These estimates are comparable to single and multi-instrument trade finance instrument elasticities in the literature. Elasticity of export earnings is higher for smaller firms that may have relatively limited financing options from domestic capital markets.

Trade Finance Constrains as a Barrier For Chilean Services

The growing importance of trade in services in the international economy motivates the study of different factors that may influence the development of this sector. This paper seeks to contribute to the scarce research on access to financing for the internationalization of services. Through a survey, we analyze the perception of Chilean services exporters about access to financing instruments for trade, and whether this constitutes an obstacle in the process of internationalization or not. For companies that participated in the study, access to trade financing is not a barrier for exports.

“Financial Risk Management in the Anthropocene era”, in T. Walker et al,

We examine the financial risk management of the climate crisis from three perspectives. First, we assess the serious risks from climate change. The ecological and financial consequences of climate change depend on the future path of emissions, as well as the specific circumstances of specific countries and populations. Second, we assess the previous success of market solutions through pricing sulfur and carbon dioxide emissions.

Presented paper on "Migration, Diasporas and SDGs" UN CDP/UNAM LNOB Expert Group Meeting, Mexico City

Migration and the growth of global diasporas are key contemporary trends which impact on the pledge to “leave no one behind” in the 2030 Agenda. The developmental potential of migration is captured in four Goals and five Targets in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The paper offers critical perspectives on the SDGs targets with a discussion on the economic challenges as well as the opportunities for trade and entrepreneurship. The focus is particularly on remittances (including South-South remittances) and other financial investments such as diaspora savings and bonds.

An Estimation Of The Impact of Economic Sanctions And Oil Price Shocks on Iran-Russian trade: Evidence from a Gravity- VEC appro

This article is an empirical attempt to explore the relationship between sanctions (financial and non-financial), oil price shocks and Iran-Russian bilateral trade flows over the period 1991–2014. In contrast to earlier studies in which a gravity model has been estimated through a panel data approach, in this paper the authors apply a gravity model for only two countries and do the estimations using the vector error correction approach. The overall estimation results indicate that financial sanctions, non-financial sanctions and oil price shocks negatively impact the Iran-Russian trade.

Direito Internacional Econômico (International Economic Law), LLB. In Law / 3rd year / FGV

The International Economic Law course is a hybrid course of public and private elements, combining the classic tripod analysis of the regulation of the inter-state economic system - monetary, financial and commercial systems - with self-regulation and exclusive relationships between private agents (eg contracts) in transnational legal proceedings. The course structure develops from real situations-problems that analyze issues related to Brazil and involve public and private actors.
