This paper empirically examines the heterogeneity in the effects of multiple dimensions of distance on trade across … detailed product groups. Using finite mixture modelling on bilateral trade data at the 3-digit SITC level, we endogenously … products into homogeneous groups. We find that distance decay functions in a gravity model of international trade at a …

We … provide evidence on the patterns of FDI by sector, by size of the foreign affiliate, and by the number of affiliates per host … country. While market size and geographic distance have a significant impact on FDI stocks, we also find differences in the …

This paper examines the FDI flows towards two regions in the periphery of Europe: the Central and Eastern European … countries (CEECs) and the countries of Southern Europe. We investigate whether evidence exists for FDI diversion from Southern … Europe to the CEECs. A cursory observation of recent FDI trends might give rise to such claims of diversion.
