Gravity with google maps: the border puzzle revisited
Benz, Sebastian - In: Economics Bulletin 33 (2013) 3, pp. 2414-2421
I calculate road travel times between the capitals of US states and Canadian provinces with Google Maps. With this measure of trade cost I estimate the US-Canada border effect for aggregate and industry-level trade flows in line with the method introduced by Anderson and van Wincoop (2003), as...
