Trade Costs. James E. Anderson, Eric van Wincoop. This paper surveys the measurement of trade costs --- what we know, and what we don't know but may usefully attempt to find out. Partial and incomplete data on direct measures of costs go together with inference on implicit costs from trade flows and prices. Total trade costs in rich countries are large.
Liar, Liar (The Castaways song) Liar, Liar is a song by The Castaways, a number 12 hit single on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1965 on Soma Records. The song appears on the iconic compilation album Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965â1968.
The song is about a guy who gets caught cheating on his girl, but denies it even though he is clearly guilty. It was inspired by a comedy routine Eddie Murphy performed in his movie Raw. Murphy said that no matter what your girl accuses you of, never admit to anything, just say It Wasn't Me.. This features Rikrok, whose real name is Ricardo Ducent, singing most of the lyrics. Shaggy sings the refrain It Wasn't Me.. Shaggy helped out Rikrok by working with him on his first solo album. Shaggy said this is not about him, it is just a bunch of hypothetical situations he came up with.
