The objective of this research is to determine the constraints to the export supply in ECOWAS countries, mainly in their intra-regional trade. The analysis of international data by descriptive statistics on the one hand and on the other hand by an econometric technique using the gravity model...

The objective of this research is to analyze and evaluate the main trade facilitation factors that affect trade cost, total trade cost and manufactured trade cost in ECOWAS countries. To cope with these objectives, we adopt an econometric approach of gravity model. The data cover the ECOWAS with...
