ESTIMATION ISSUES IN SINGLE COMMODITY GRAVITY TRADE MODELS

Prehn, Soren; Brummer, Bernhard - 2011

Recently gravity trade models are applied to disaggregated trade data. Here many zeros arecharacteristic. In the presence of excess zeros usual Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood(PPML) is still consistent, the variance covariance matrix however is invalid. Correcteconomic interpretation however...

Potential bilateral trade between South Africa and Angola in the agricultural sector : a gravity model approach / J.L. Erero

Erero, Jean Luc - 2007

This study applies the gravity trade model to assess South Africa-Angola trade potential in the agriculturalsector. A step-by-step example of the model's empirical implementation is also provided. It is found thatthe gravity model, with foundations in the physical sciences, is a useful...

The effect of common currencies on trade

Szebeni, Katalin - 2004

The theory of optimum currency areas states that the more two countries trade with each other, the better candidates they are for a currency union. In terms of the endogeneity argument, convergence follows from joining a currency union and the integration process itself turns the countries into...

The Spatial Relationship of Complex Foreign Direct Investment and the Effects of Foreign Direct Investment and Trade on Income

Nelson, Andrew J. - 2008

This paper assesses the implications of spatial dependence of outward FDI flows toclarify the importance and prominence of complex foreign direct investment bymultinational enterprises, which are neither purely horizontal nor vertical integrationstrategies. Empirical tests compare the ordinary...

What Gravity Models Can Tell Us about the Position of German FDI in Central and Eastern Europe

Borrmann, Christine; Jungnickel, Rolf; Keller, Dietmar - 2005

The tradition of gravity models is in the analysis of trade flows with market size and geographic or economic distance as core variables. Both these variables can be important determinants of FDI, too. However, when such models are used to explain FDI, there can be differences in the mode of...
