Accordingly, we investigate trade among 186 countries in the first quarter of 2020. The disease burden of COVID-19 is measured in terms of the number of cases and deaths. Our findings can be summarized as follows. First, the COVID-19 burden in exporting countries, but in not importing countries, has a significantly negative effect on trade. Second, this negative impact of exporters’ COVID-19 burden is seen in exports from developing countries but not from developed countries. Third, the COVID-19 burden in an exporter’s neighboring countries has a positive effect on its exports. Fourth, importers’ COVID-19 burden has positive effects on trade in the agricultural industry, whereas exporters’ COVID-19 burden has negative effects, particularly in the textile, footwear, and plastic industries.}, title = {Impacts of covid-19 on international trade : evidence from the first quarter of 2020}, year = {2020} }
