Focus
We construct a world database of trade flows for high-end varieties products, computing unit values of related bilateral trade flows and analyzing competition among the main exporters. Exports of high-end varieties are shown to be less sensitive to distance, and found more sensitive to destination country wealth than other varieties, but only in relation to countries already producing a large range of luxury brands, pointing to a first-mover advantage. >>> Lionel Fontagné & Sophie Hatte |

Better late than never The ECB has announced that it will launch in March its first round of quantitative easing. The announcement contains some good and bad surprises: the size of the ECB's plan is gigantic, while the Central Bank was unclear about the Greek issue.

Databases Facts & Figures
A 10% appreciation in house prices yields to a 3.4% decrease in the unemployment rate. If house prices drive employment fluctuations in construction, they impact also total employment through their effects on labour demand. Housing booms impact specifically the tradable sector as they lead to real exchange rate appreciations that affect manufacturing activity. >>> François Geerolf & Thomas Grjebine |
