Distance, formal and informal institutions in international trade
Lanz, Rainer; Lee, Woori; Stolzenburg, Victor - 2019
This paper brings together three strands of literature on the determinants of international trade − distance … gravity model, we find that the importance of formal institutions (rule of law) for bilateral trade increases with distance … substitution effect does not decrease with distance. Our findings contribute to explaining the persistent negative effect of …

Incomplete specialization and offshoring across Europe
Frensch, Richard; Hanousek, Jan; Kocenda, Evžen - 2012
Recent empirical studies have been searching for evidence on and driving forces for offshoring. Frequently, this has been done by analyzing gross trade flows related to offshore activities using gravity equations augmented by ad hoc measures of supply-side country differences. This paper...

A structural analysis on Gravity of Trade regarding the possibility to remove distance from the model
Metulini, Rodolfo - 2013

The standard procedure until now was to account the transport cost using geographical distance as a proxy, and … the spatial effect trough a weighted matrix constructed on inverse distance. Two issues follow from this standard … procedure: the first regards the biasness of the distance if used as a proxy of the transport costs, the second is related to …

The impact of disasters on international trade
Gassebner, Martin; Keck, Alexander; Teh, Robert - 2006
In this paper we examine the impact of major disasters on international trade flows using a gravity model. Our panel data consists of more than 170 countries for the years 1962-2004 yielding approximately 300,000 observations. We find that the driving forces determining the impact of such events...

Openness to Trade, Migration and Foreign Direct Investments of the EU
Cernosa, Stanislav - 2011
This paper analyses openness to trade, migration and foreign direct investment (FDI) using panel data. The focus is on the relationship between 15 EU countries (EU 15) as destination countries, and 71 trading partner countries which send migrants and receive FDI outflows, where only those...

International trade effects of student migration
Specht, Lena Susanne - 2022
The conventional immigration and trade literature regards immigrants as mediators for informal barriers such as institutional and cultural differences. However, this notion neglects network effects stemming from short visits. This paper investigates the ways in which international student...

Bilateral Trade and Similarity of Income Distributions: The Role of Second Moments
Eppinger, Peter S.; Felbermayr, Gabriel J. - 2014
We use an augmented gravity model to revisit the effect of similarity in income distributionson bilateral trade flows. Disentangling supply-side and demand-side mechanisms,we document a robust new regularity: while differences in average incomes betweentwo countries increase trade, differences...

Incomplete specialization and offshoring across Europe
Frensch, Richard; Hanousek, Jan; Kočenda, Evžen - 2012
Research for evidence on offshoring activities and its driving forces has been done by analyzing gross trade flows related to offshoring using gravity equations augmented by ad hoc measures of supply-side country differences. We develop a specification grounded in incomplete specialization that...
