The impact of globalization in terms of bilateral trade is a renowned theoretical underpinning in the literature …. Nevertheless, testing a trade integration model of bilateral trade is not sufficiently well estimated with the Bayesian approach to … provide pragmatic evidence of trade integration from the digitalization in Asia. Moreover, in identifying the factors …

Over the last 20 years the trade literature repeatedly documented the trade-reducing effects of inter- and intra … underlying political borders. However, when observed border effects are not caused by political trade barriers, why should their … "border effect" in the absence of a border. Thereby, the finding that trade between East- and West-Japan is 23.1% - 51 …

This paper identifies a "border" effect in the absence of a border. The finding that trade between East- and West …-Japan is 23.1 to 51.3 percent lower than trade within both country parts, is established despite the absence of an obvious east …-lasting historical shocks, are identified as an explanation for the east-west bias in intra-Japanese trade. …

This paper aims to determine the role of EU in Turkey's trade flows by using the gravity model. It also aims to test … whether the Customs Union (of EU) that Turkey entered in 1996 made a deviation in Turkey's trade flows.
