characterized by coordinates on some "basic" spherical surface. The basic "air" distance between them can thus be identified … distances from the centre of the sphere. Thus connections longer or shorter than the basic distance are to be found on an other … the distance is due to a "roundabout" connection or to the low speed parameters etc. It is thus possible to dodge the …

We … vary with two characteristics: with the distance between two locations and with the endogenous decision to invest in a more … efficient technology which is driven, in turn, by the bilateral export level. A simulation exercise reveals that ignoring the …
