Misaligned distance: Why distance can have a positive effect on trade in agricultural
Dreyer, Heiko - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2014
distant two trading partners are. Distance in agricultural trade does not only reflect transport costs but also differences in … trade flows of nearly 10,000 country pairs for the period 1970 to 2010. We show that the interpretation of the distance … coefficient as transport costs’ effect is misleading as the transport cost related effect of distance is underestimated if the …
