题 目：International Trade in a Digital Era: The Case of US Movie Exports
主讲人：樊海潮，复旦大学世界经济研究所副所长，二级教授
主持人：李嫦
内容简介：
How does the digital era alter familiar features of international trade? We explore such questions using exports of US movies which have gone from physical films to digital files. Unsurprisingly, digitization reduces the gravity effect: A one-standard-deviation increase in digitization reduces the distance elasticity from -0.46 to -0.40. More interestingly, digitization weakens the Washington Apples effect: The average gap in the distance elasticities between top and bottom quality movies (those at the 10th and 90th percentiles of lMDb ratings) is 0.240; a one-standard-deviation increase in digitization reduces this gap by 0.11. Our results are robust to alternative measures of digitization and quality. This im-plies that producers of lower quality varieties benefit disproportionately from digitization.
