We develop a simple estimation procedure for general equilibrium (GE) comparative static analysis of gravity models … equilibrium responses. The method works by fully exploiting the combined properties of structural gravity and PPML. Our procedures …

We review and interpret the main theoretical developments in the gravity literature from its very early, a …-theoretical applications to the latest structural contributions. We also discuss challenges and implement methods to estimate empirical gravity … equations. We finish with a presentation and examples of numerical simulations with the structural gravity model. Throughout the …
