From the editor

For example, one banker suggested that price changes that make opportunism more beneficial occur more commonly with commodities shipments (which characterize transactions going out from the United States) than on manufactured-goods shipments (which characterize transactions coming into the United States).(57) A thorough analysis of that question would require considerably more specific data than I collected, but the data do suggest that the type of goods is relevant in some way, because the type of good was the most powerful explanatory variable of the willingness of an applicant to submit documents with curable defects: curably defective documents were particularly associated with garment transactions and particularly unlikely in transactions involving durable manufactured goods.(58)
