An important element of the cost of distance is time taken in delivering final and intermediate goods. We argue that … time costs are qualitatively different from direct monetary costs such as freight charges. The difference arises because of … uncertainty. Unsynchronised deliveries can disrupt production, and delivery time can force producers to order components before …

By exploiting variation across US entry coasts …. We estimate that each day in transit is equivalent to an ad-valorem tariff of 0.6 to 2.3 percent and that the most time …
