Overview

Michael Pfaffermayr is affiliated with the University of Innsbruck in Austria. Their research primarily focuses on fields within Economics, Econometrics, and Finance, with substantial contributions to both general and specialized subfields, including General Economics, Econometrics and Finance, Economics and Econometrics, Strategy and Management, Finance, and Statistics, Probability and Uncertainty.

The scholar's work covers a variety of interconnected topics, notably:

  • Global trade and economics
  • Economic Policies and Impacts
  • Monetary Policy and Economic Impact
  • Fiscal Policy and Economic Growth
  • Global Financial Crisis and Policies
  • Global Trade and Competitiveness
  • International Business and Foreign Direct Investment

Michael Pfaffermayr has coauthored works with several researchers, including Harald Oberhofer, Peter Egger, and Richard Sellner. This suggests collaboration across various studies related to trade and economic modeling.

Their recent papers reflect ongoing engagement with trade economics, modeling, and empirical analysis. Selected publications include:

  • Trade creation and trade diversion of economic integration agreements revisited: a constrained panel pseudo-maximum likelihood approach, 2020, Review of World Economics
  • Confidence intervals for the trade cost parameters of cross-section gravity models, 2021, Economics Letters
  • Cross-sectional Gravity Models, PPML Estimation, and the Bias Correction of the Two-Way Cluster-Robust Standard Errors, 2023, Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics

The research venues where these works are published demonstrate a wide dissemination of findings in established economic and regional science journals, including:

  • Canadian Journal of Economics/Revue canadienne d économique
  • Review of World Economics
  • Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics
  • Economics Letters
  • Journal of Regional Science

Through their scholarship, they contribute to understanding critical economic mechanisms such as the effects of trade agreements, trade costs, and the use of gravity models for economic analysis. These models are instrumental in quantifying trade flows and assessing policy impacts in the global economy.
