DESCRIPTION:Daniel M. Brenforen\,&nbsp\;American\nUniversity\, CESifo and\n
 GEPAuthors:\nDaniel\nM. Bernhofen\, Zouheir El-Sahli&nbsp\; and Richard Kn
 eller&nbsp\;Abstract:\nMany\nhistorical accounts have asserted that the co
 ntainer revolution triggered\ncomplementary organizational changes in glob
 al freight transport that\naccelerated the growth of world trade. These au
 thors are the first to suggest\nidentification strategies for estimating t
 he effects of this revolution on\nworld trade. Their first approach exploi
 ts time and cross-sectional variation\nin countries’ first adoption of con
 tainer facilities to construct a\ntime-varying bilateral container technol
 ogy variable and estimate its effects\non a large panel of product level t
 rade flows. Their second approach builds an\ninstrument for container adop
 tion based on historical evidence on the diffusion\nof container technolog
 y by the US military during the Vietnam War. Both strategies\nsuggest econ
 omically large concurrent and cumulative effects of\ncontainerization and 
 lend support for the view of containerization being a\ndriver of 20th cent
 ury economic globalization.Short\nBio: Daniel\nBernhofen is\nProfessor in
