Hidden Protectionism? Evidence from Non-tariff Barriers to Trade in the United States
(2014)KOF Working PapersAre product standards protectionism in disguise? This paper estimates the costs of non- compliance with U.S. product standards, using a new database on U.S. import refusals from 2002 to 2012. We find that import refusals significantly decrease exports to the United States. This trade reducing effect is driven by developing countries and by refusals without any product sample analysis, in particular during the Subprime Crisis and its ...Working Paper -

Corner Cuts are Close to Optimal
(2012)Technical Report / ETH Zurich, Department of Computer ScienceWe study the solution quality for min-cut problems on graphs when restricting the shapes of the allowed cuts. In particular we are interested in min-cut problems with additional size constraints on the parts being cut out from the graph. Such problems include the bisection problem, separator problem, or the sparsest cut problem. We therefore aim at cutting out a given number m of vertices from a graph using as few edges as possible. We ...Report -
