Online Webinar
We invite you join us in the first of two presentations by Ph.D. International Economics candidates Edoardo Chiarotti & Anmol Kaur Grewal on Global Value Chains and Firm Performance in Developing Countries.
The first presentation by Mr. Chiarotti will take place on Wednesday, January 20 at 12:30-13:00 CET
In this session, we assess how online-trade platforms can help emerging economies to export more with a case study on AliExpress, AliBaba’s export-oriented platform introduced in 2010. As AliExpress allows Chinese sellers and non-Chinese consumers only, all visitors on AliExpress.com in countries outside of China are buyers. We thus exploit the cross-country differences in the share of AliExpress visitors to predict patterns in Chinese gross exports.
