This paper examines the relative magnitude of trade-creating and trade-diverting effects of some important RTAs using a panel dataset consisting of observations for every five years beginning in 1950 and ending in 1999, taken from Andrew Rose's gravity model (2004) database. The result of the...

This study used gravity modelling to examine the impact of religion on international trade in goods and services. The Poisson pseudo-maximum likelihood estimator was used to correct for the presence of heteroscedasticity, and religion-related dummy variables were incorporated to investigate the...
