Geography and intra-national home bias : U.S. domestic trade in 1949 and 2007
This paper examines home bias in U.S. domestic trade in 1949 and 2007. We use a unique
data set of 1949 carload waybill statistics produced by the Interstate Commerce Commission,
and 2007 Commodity Flow Survey data. The results show that home bias was considerably
smaller in 1949 than in 2007 and that home bias in 1949 was even negative for several
commodities. We argue that the difference between the geographical distribution of the
manufacturing activities in 1949 and that of 2007 is an important factor explaining the
differences in the magnitudes of home-bias estimates in those years
