Transport costs in international trade
Kleinert, Jörn; Spies, Julia - 2011 - Preliminary version
This paper claims that distance alone is a poor proxy for international transport costs in gravity equations. We develop a theoretical framework with a manufacturing and a transport sector, where the level of manufacturing exports determines the demand for transport. Above a certain threshold,...

Empirical productivity distributions and international trade
Egger, Peter; Erhardt, Katharina; Nigai, Sergey - 2021 - This draft: March 2021
We use firm-level data for 15 countries and 13 manufacturing sectors to estimate firm-level productivity parameters and … to establish representative country-sector-specific empirical productivity distributions. We use these distributions … of technology in shaping international trade flows. We find that, on average, absolute advantage measured as productivity …

Coordination cost and the distance puzzle
Noblet, Sandrine; Belgodere, Antoine - 2010 - Preliminary version
The distance puzzle has been wildly discussed in the literature since Leamer and Levinsohn (1995) shed the light on it. This puzzle simply says that "the world is not getting smaller": distance still matters to account for trade. This is reflected in a decreasing distance of trade (DOT), or in a...

Market structure and sustainable use of natural resources
Yegorov, Yuri - 2015
Sustainable use of natural resources becomes an important issue today not only due to global warming and pollution issues but also because of critical pressure on the Earth's regeneration possibility. We cannot use classical microeconomic approach here for two reasons: a) impossibility to create...

Euclidean distance versus travel time in business location : a probabilistic mixture of hurdle-Poisson models : 55th ERSA Congress 2015, Lisbon
Buczkowska, Sabina; Coulombel, Nicolas; De Lapparent, … - 2015
While the question of the specification of spatial weight matrix is now largely discussed in the spatial econometrics literature, the definition of distance has attracted less attention. The choice of the distance measure is often glossed over, with the ultimate use of the Euclidean distance....

Spatial aspects of agent-based modeling of large economy
Suslov, Viktor Ivanovič; Domozhirov, Dmitry; … - 2015
The paper presents a pilot version of spatial agent-based model simulating the national economy of Russia. The model is supposed to be used for evaluation the effects of industrial and spatial policies. The object of modeling is multi-regional economic space of Russia in its interaction with...

Multi-regional agent-based modeling of household and firm location choices with endogenous transport costs
Tsekerēs, Theodōros; Vogiatzoglou, Klimis; Bekiros, … - 2010
The paper describes a spatial economic agent-based model (ABM), consistent with the principles of new economic geography (NEG), which allows the discrete-time evolutionary simulation of complex interactions of household and firm location choices. In contrast with the current ABM approaches, it...
