View help for Summary
This paper reexamines the evidence on the border effect. We argue
that if there is cross-country heterogeneity in the distribution of
within-country price differentials, there is no clear benchmark from
which to gauge the effect of a border. In the absence of a structural
model or a (natural) experiment, it is impossible to separate
the "border" effect from the effect of trading with a country with a
different distribution of prices. We show that the border effect identified
by Engel and Rogers (1996) is entirely driven by the difference
in the distribution of prices within the United States and Canada.
