Borders and distance in knowledge spillovers: dying over time or dying with age? ; evidence from patent citations
Li, Yao - 2009
This paper uses a gravity framework to investigate the effects of distance as well as subnational and national borders … border effects stem from the metropolitan level rather than state. Second, border and distance effects decrease with the age … distance effects are interestingly increasing. Finally, we find that (assignee) self-citations and aggregation bias are two …

Trade blocs and trade wars during the interwar period
Jacks, David S.; Novy, Dennis - 2019

Chen, Liang; Johnson, Garrett A.; Luo, Yao - 2015
electronics category, this paper examines the roles of distance as well as seller and buyer experience in Chinese e-commerce. Our … estimate of a gravity model shows that the distance elasticity in our data is greater than US C2C e-commerce but smaller than … experience and distance. Our results show that more experienced sellers tend to sell more and export their goods farther into the …

Estimating the gravity equation with the actual number of exporting firms
Minondo, Asier; Requena Silvente, Francisco - In: Estudios de economía 40 (2013) 1, pp. 5-19
To estimate correctly the effect of variable trade costs on firms’ exports, the gravity equation should control for the number of firms that participate in foreign markets. Due to the absence of these data, previous studies control for this omitted variable using econometric strategies that...

Information frictions, internet and the relationship between distance and trade
Akerman, Anders; Leuven, Edwin; Mogstad, Magne - 2017
that adoption of broadband internet makes trade patterns more sensitive to distance and economic size. Going from no … broadband availability to full coverage increases the magnitude of the elasticity of trade with respect to distance by 0.12, and … the elasticity of trade with respect to destination size by 0.06. For distance, this means that an increase in internet …

Institutions, infrastructure, and trade
Francois, Joseph F.; Manchin, Miriam - 2007
We work with a panel of bilateral trade flows from 1988 to 2002, exploring the influence of infrastructure, institutional quality, colonial and geographic context, and trade preferences on the pattern of bilateral trade. We are interested in threshold effects, and so emphasize those cases where...
