Distance(s) and the volatility of international trade(s)
Mehl, Arnaud; Schmitz, Martin; Tille, Cédric - 2019
Does distance matter for the volatility of international real and financial transactions? We show that it does, in … a broad range of real and financial transactions measures, as well as several different metrics of distance (physical … between countries that are more distant along the various metrics, and find that the different distance measures magnify each …

Do the World Trade Organization and the Generalized System of Preferences foster bilateral trade?
Herz, Bernhard; Wagner, Marco - 2007
World trade has grown exponentially during the last 60 years. Admittedly, it is not clear if this development can be assigned to international trade agreements like the World Trade Organization or the Generalized System of Preferences as previous empirical studies found contradicting results. In...

Kyoto and the carbon content of trade
Aichele, Rahel; Felbermayr, Gabriel - 2010
A unilateral tax on CO2 emissions may drive up indirect carbon imports from non-committed countries, leading to carbon leakage. Using a gravity model of carbon trade, we analyze the effect of the Kyoto Protocol on the carbon content of bilateral trade. We construct a novel data set of CO2...

The effect of technological innovation on international trade
Márquez-Ramos, Laura; Martínez-Zarzoso, Inmaculada - In: Economics: The Open-Access, Open-Assessment E-Journal 4 (2010) 2010-11, pp. 1-37
In this paper, the effect of technological innovation on sectoral exports is analysed using a gravity model of trade. The technological achievement index (TAI) and its four components, creation of technology, diffusion of old innovations, diffusion of recent innovations and human skills, are...

Multi-membership and effectiveness of regional trade agreements in Western and Southern Africa: a comparative study of ECOWAS and SADC
Afesorgbor, Sylvanus Kwaku; van Bergeijk, Peter A.G. - 2011
Using a gravity model for 35 countries and the years 1995-2006 we estimate the impact of regional trade agreements in Africa (in particular ECOWAS and SADC) and compare this to the a benchmark of North South trade integration (Europe's preferential trade agreement). We find that - ECOWAS and...

A trade network theory
Hübler, Michael - 2015
This paper introduces a new trade model type. It combines the gravity model, well-known in international economics, with network theory. With this approach, complicated trade networks can be algebraically solved in form of systems of linear (differential) equations. Business cycles and...

The effect of absorptive capacity on exports: A panel data analysis
Márquez-Ramos, Laura; Martínez-Zarzoso, Inmaculada - 2010
In previous research, we analysed the effect of technological innovation, understood as absorptive capacity, on exports by using a gravity model of trade for the year 2000 (see Márquez-Ramos and Martínez-Zarzoso, 2009). We found that the effect of technological innovation on trade varies...
