The purpose of this paper is to examine Austrian foreign trade and estimate the country’s export function. The analysis … is based on the gravity model of trade in the log-log form, augmented by additional variables in order to control for the …, which the model proved to be a natural outcome. In other respects it has been, however, diversified among many smaller trade …

The HMR model extends the classical gravity model of trade to correct for the large number of zeros in the world trade … the most signi�ficant of the two when estimating the trade flows. I test the robustness of this conclusion by splitting … the world trade data into OECD and non-OECD countries. The extensive margin should be both economically and statistically …

Recent literature suggests that product characteristics assert different distance sensitivity on trade flows. But the …

international statistics shows that service trade between CIS countries and OECD countries is strongly underestimated and could grow … 2.5–3 times larger due to liberalization. Modeling of the international service trade shows that services imports into … Russia are strongly limited by existing trade barriers. For Russia, according to the estimates, the most liberalized service …

The paper applies the gravity model of international trade in its analysis of German exports. The added value of our … conclusion of our model is that German exporters are more prone to expand the trade to countries that are more distant from their … exports would not be impacted very much if the Euro appreciated in real terms. The position of the Euro in German trade seems …
