This study sought to approximate trade potentials of the TPP Agreement with a special consideration at the level of complementarity. To accomplish the objective, we utilized an augmented gravity model on agriculture and manufacturing sectors, spanning the period 2000-2010. Our results suggested...

For the estimation of structural gravity models using PPML with countrypair, exportertime and importer-time effects it proves useful to exploit the equilibrium restrictions imposed by the system of multilateral resistances. This yields an iterative projection based PPML estimator that is...

Starting with Tinbergen (1962), quantifying the effects of regional trade agreements (RTAs) on international trade flows has always been among the most popular topics in the trade literature. Also not surprisingly, to estimate the effects of RTAs, most researchers and policy analysts have relied...
