Chapter 1 studies transport costs as market outcomes and highlights the round trip effect, a key feature of the transportation industry that links transport supply between locations. Incorporating transportation into an Armington trade model, this effect mitigates shocks on a country's trade with its partner and generates spillovers onto its opposite direction trade with the same partner. A country's import tariffs can therefore translate into a potential tax on its exports to the same partner. Using novel container freight rates data, I develop an instrumental variable based on this effect to estimate the containerized trade elasticity with respect to freight rates. Using my elasticity estimates as well as my trade and transportation model, I simulate a counterfactual increase in US import tariffs on all its partners. This tariff increase not only decreases overall US imports but also US exports on the same bilateral routes.

520 $a Chapter 1 studies transport costs as market outcomes and highlights the round trip effect, a key feature of the transportation industry that links transport supply between locations. Incorporating transportation into an Armington trade model, this effect mitigates shocks on a country's trade with its partner and generates spillovers onto its opposite direction trade with the same partner. A country's import tariffs can therefore translate into a potential tax on its exports to the same partner. Using novel container freight rates data, I develop an instrumental variable based on this effect to estimate the containerized trade elasticity with respect to freight rates.

520 $a Both regional and multilateral trade agreements abide by the non-discriminatory (Most-Favored Nation, MFN) clause to varying degrees. Chapter 2 investigates the free rider effect that can stem from the MFN clause and how it impacts country incentives towards these agreements. This chapter extends the equilibrium model of endogenous trade liberalization via trade agreements developed by Saggi and Yildiz (2010) to better capture the effects of MFN. Within multilateral agreements, the free rider effect eliminates global free trade as an equilibrium even when countries have symmetric market power. Within regional agreements, smaller countries are excluded more under the equilibrium with MFN compared to without.
520 $a Chapter 3 investigates the robustness of the spillover result in chapter 1 by relaxing one of its main theoretical assumptions---that trade quantities between locations are balanced. By modeling the presence of negotiated contracts in the transportation industry as a search and bargaining process between exporting manufacturers and transport firms, this paper shows that the main spillover results still hold without requiring the balanced quantity assumption. This provides evidence for the robust relationship between the round trip effect and the spillover of shocks between a country's two-way trade with one particular trading partner via transport costs.
