Centro de Documentación de Fundación MAPFRE - The Private export credit insurance effect on trade

Notas: Sumario: International trade relies on trade finance (credit or insurance) by financial institutions. Evidence on the link between trade finance and trade is scarce, however, because trade finance data are hard to come by. This article uses a unique bilateral data set on worldwide exports insured by a world's leading private trade credit insurer in the period from 1992 to 2006. Applying various trade models, I consistently find a positive and statistically significant effect of private export credit insurance on exports. The results suggest that the private export credit insurance effect on trade is larger than the value of exports insuredRegistros relacionados: En: The Journal of risk and insurance. - Nueva York : The American Risk and Insurance Association, 1964- = ISSN 0022-4367. - 07/09/2015 Volumen 82 Número 3 - septiembre 2015 , p. 601-624Materia / lugar / evento: Seguro de crédito a la exportación Seguros privados Comercio exterior Internacionalización de la empresa Otras clasificaciones: 327.3
