Gravity, distance, and international trade

Baier, Scott L.; Kerr, Amanda; Yotov, Yoto V. - 2017

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...

Shipment frequency of exporters and demand uncertainty

Békés, Gábor; Fontagné, Lionel Gérard; Muraközy, … - 2014

Firms adjust to differences in market size and demand uncertainty by changing the frequency and size of their export … well as inventory and per shipments costs. Using a cross section of monthly firm-product-destination level French export … uncertainty by reducing their sales and, for a given export volume, by reducing their number of shipments and increasing their …

Modeling inter-regional patient mobility : does distance go far enough?

Irlacher, Michael; Pennerstorfer, Dieter; Renner, … - 2021

This paper estimates a theory-guided gravity equation of regional patient flows. In our model, a patient’s choice to consult a physician in a particular region depends on a measure of spatial accessibility that accounts for the exact locations of both patients and physicians. Introducing this...

Borders and distance in knowledge spillovers : dying over time or dying with age? ; evidence from patent citations

Li, Yao - 2009

This paper uses a gravity framework to investigate the effects of distance as well as subnational and national borders in knowledge spillovers. Drawing on the NBER Patent Citations Database, we examine patent citations data at metropolitan level within the U.S. and the 38 largest patent-cited...

Distance, globalization, and international trade

Borchert, Ingo; Yotov, Yoto V. - 2016

For a long time globalization could be seen everywhere but in gravity estimates. We offer evidence how globalization affects manufacturing trade over the period 1986-2006 and show that, on average, the effect of distance has fallen whereas the effects of proximity and regional trade agreements...

Somatic distance, cultural affinities, trust and trade

Mélitz, Jacques; Toubal, Farid - 2018

Somatic distance, or differences in physical appearance, proves to be extremely important in the gravity model of bilateral trade in conformity with results in other areas of economics and outside of it in the social sciences. This is also true quite independently of survey evidence about...

Is the international border effect larger than the domestic border effect? : evidence from U.S. trade

Coughlin, Cletus Charles; Novy, Dennis - 2009

Many studies have found that international borders represent large barriers to trade. But how do international borders compare to domestic border barriers? We investigate international and domestic border barriers in a unified framework. We consider a unique data set of exports from individual...

Trade and the spatial distribution of transport infrastructure

Felbermayr, Gabriel; Tarasov, Alexander - 2015 - This version: November 2015

The distribution of transport infrastructure across space is the outcome of deliberate government planning that reflects a desire to unlock the welfare gains from regional economic integration. Yet, despite being one of the oldest government activities, the economic forces shaping the endogenous...

Trade costs, trade balances and current accounts : an application of gravity to multilateral trade

Fazio, Giorgio (contributor); MacDonald, Ronald (contributor) - 2005

In this paper we test the well-known hypothesis of Obstfeld and Rogoff (2000) that trade costs are the key to explaining the so-called Feldstein-Horioka puzzle. Using a gravity framework in an intertemporal context, we provide strong support for the hypothesis and we reconcile our results with...
