The effect of WTO on the extensive and the intensive margins of trade
Dutt, Pushan; Mihov, Ilian; Van Zandt, Timothy - In: Journal of International Economics 91 (2013) 2, pp. 204-219
product margins of trade. We construct gravity equations for the two product margins motivated by Chaney (2008). The empirical … results show that standard gravity variables provide good explanatory power for bilateral trade on both margins. Importantly …

Why Do Nations Trade (So Little)?
Anderson, James - Department of Economics, Boston College - 1999
There isn't nearly as much trade as standard models suggest there should be. Formal trade barriers and transport costs are too low to account for the difference. The pattern of missing trade has interesting variation across country pairs. These clues suggest the need for theoretical and...

Gravity Redux: Measuring International Trade Costs with Panel Data
Novy, Dennis - CESifo - 2011
Barriers to international trade are known to be large but due to data limitations it is hard to measure them directly for a large number of countries over many years. To address this problem I derive a micro-founded measure of bilateral trade costs that indirectly infers trade frictions from...

International Trade Integration: A Disaggregated Approach
Chen, Natalie; Novy, Dennis - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2008
This paper investigates the sources and size of trade barriers at the industry level. We derive a micro-founded measure of industry-specific bilateral trade integration that has an in-built control for time-varying multilateral resistance. This trade integration measure is consistent with a...

Gravity and Information: Heterogeneous Firms, Exporter Networks and the 'Distance Puzzle'
Krautheim, Sebastian - Department of Economics, European University Institute - 2007
Distance effects in empirical gravity equations appear to be too high to be explained by transport costs alone … existing empirical evidence. An empirical gravity equation is used to estimate the effect of exporter networks on distance …
