The determinants of aid in the post-cold war era
Bandyopadhyay, Subhayu; Wall, Howard J. (2007-11)
The authors estimate the responsiveness of aid to recipient countries' economic and physical needs, civil/political rights, and government effectiveness. They look exclusively at the post-Cold War era and use fixed effects to control for the political, strategic, and other considerations of donors. They find that aid and per capita income have been negatively related, while aid has been positively related to infant mortality, rights, and government effectiveness.

Endogenous export subsidies and welfare under domestic cost heterogeneity
Bandyopadhyay, Subhayu; Wall, Howard J.; Park, Eun-Soo (1999)
We present a model of Cournot rivalry where domestic and foreign firms compete in a third-country market, and where the domestic export subsidy is determined by lobbying. Greater domestic cost heterogeneity (a mean-preserving spread of the marginal costs of the domestic firms) means that the subsidy level, aggregate domestic output, and domestic market share will all be higher. However, the effect of heterogeneity on domestic welfare is ambiguous. From a near-symmetric initial situation, greater domestic cost-heterogeneity reduces domestic welfare if the number of domestic firms exceeds some ...

Working Paper
Foreign aid, illegal immigration, and host country welfare
Munemo, Jonathan; Chambers, Dustin; Bandyopadhyay, Subhayu (2012)
This paper analyzes the effect of foreign aid on illegal immigration and host country welfare using a general equilibrium model. We show that foreign aid may worsen the recipient nation?s terms of trade. Furthermore, it may also raise illegal immigration, if the terms of trade effect on immigration flows dominates the other effects identified in our analysis. Empirical analysis of the effect of foreign aid on illegal immigration to the United States broadly supports the predictions of our theoretical model. Foreign aid worsens the recipient?s terms of trade. While the terms of trade effect ...

Terrorism, Trade and Welfare: Some Paradoxes and a Policy Conundrum
Sandler, Todd; Bandyopadhyay, Subhayu; Younas, Javed (2016-03-01)
We present a standard trade model and show that terrorism can be trade inducing, starting from autarky. In addition, terrorism can be shown to be welfare augmenting for a group of nations. Finally, we present some qualitative conditions that identify when a nation?s trade volume may rise (or fall) in response to a greater incidence of terrorism. Our trade and welfare results point to potential difficulties in international coordination of counterterrorism policy because of terrorism?s differential impact across nations.

Bandyopadhyay, Subhayu; Pinto, Santiago; Munemo, Jonathan (2015-07)
Much is known about the effects of unauthorized immigration on the nation as a whole. But little research has been done so far on the impact of states? efforts to curb the influx?efforts such as the E-Verify program.

Policy evaluation in the presence of outsourcing: global competitiveness versus political feasibility
Bandyopadhyay, Subhayu; Wall, Howard J. (2007)
We analyze the effects of outsourcing in the presence of a minimum wage by presenting a general-equilibrium model with an oligopolistic export sector and a competitive import-competing sector. An outsourcing tax is politically popular because it switches jobs to unemployed natives. It is also economically sound because it raises national income. An export subsidy may or may not be justified on welfare grounds. Increased international competition has no effect on the level of outsourcing, but the direction of its effect on unemployment and national income depends on the relative factor ...

Financing growth: foreign aid vs. foreign loans
Lahiri, Sajal; Bandyopadhyay, Subhayu; Younas, Javed (2013)
Compared to foreign grants, do concessional loans from foreign governments and/or unsubsidized loans from foreign private banks lead to faster growth in developing nations? The answer has implications for aid agencies (i) in allocating a given amount of resources between grants and concessional loans; and (ii) in encouraging financial market reforms. We examine the effects of ODA grants, concessional ODA loans, and private offshore bank loans on growth rates of 131 developing nations over 1996-2010 in a unified way. We find evidence of non-linearities in all three relationships, suggesting ...

Working Paper
Incidence of an outsourcing tax on intermediate inputs
Bandyopadhyay, Subhayu (2009)
The paper uses a Hecksher-Ohlin-Samuelson type general equilibrium framework to consider the incidence of an outsourcing tax on an economy in which the production of a specific intermediate input has been fragmented and outsourced. When the input is ?non-traded?, the outsourcing tax can reduce domestic wages even if the intermediate input producing sector is the most capital-intensive sector of the economy. This implies that contrary to received wisdom, a tax on a capital-intensive sector may actually hurt labor. On the other hand, if the intermediate input is traded, the outsourcing tax must ...
