The Determinants of Colombian Exports: An Empirical Analysis Using the Gravity Model

João, Correia Leite - In: REVISTA DESARROLLO Y SOCIEDAD (2008)

This thesis makes use of the gravity model to analyze the effectiveness of EU´s consecutive GSP programs on promoting Colombian exports. It concludes that the European preference systems have been consecutively less effective on boosting Colombian exports over time. This is explained by three...

A Gravity Model for Exports from Iceland

Kristjánsdóttir, Helga - Centre for Applied Microeconometrics (CAM), Økonomisk … - 2005

This paper applies a gravity model to examine the determinants of Icelandic exports. The model specifications tested allow for sector and trade bloc estimation. Also, a combination of an export ratio and a gravity model is tested, as well as marine product subsamples. The estimates are based on...

What Determines Sectoral Trade in the Enlarged EU?

Marques, Helena; Metcalf, Hugh - School of Business and Economics, Loughborough University - 2003

In this paper we estimate a sectoral gravity model for trade within a heterogeneous trade bloc, the enlarged EU, comprised of a high-income group (wealthiest EU), a middle-income group (Greece, Portugal and Spain), and a low-income group (acceding Central and Eastern European countries). The...

Do Customs Union Members Engage In More Bilateral Trade Than Free Trade Agreement Members?

Roy, Jayjit - Southern Methodist University, Department of Economics - 2008

This paper provides the first empirical analysis directly comparing the effects of customs unions (CUs) and free trade agreements (FTAs) on members' bilateral trade, while addressing the biases arising from log-linearization of the gravity model and crucial time-invariant unobservables. Since...

Determinants of India’s Manufactured Exports to South and North: A Gravity Model Analysis

G, Suresh K; Aswal, Neeraj - In: International Journal of Economics and Financial Issues 4 (2014) 1, pp. 144-151

We have analysed the determinants of India’s manufactured exports to its southern (developing countries) and northern … (developed countries) markets. We employed an augmented gravity model to examine the determinants of India’s exports. The … analysis shows that India’s exports to south and north is explained by the new trade theory variables like total GDP, GDP …

THE GRAVITY MODEL OF RUSSIA’S INTERNATIONAL TRADE: THE CASE OF A LARGE COUNTRY WITH A LONG BORDER

Kaukin, Andrey; Idrisov, Georgy - Gaidar Institute for Economic Policy - 2014

The paper contains the results of theoretical development and empirical verification of spatial gravity model of Russian trade. The authors conclude that the spatial variables and especially the location of the state border checkpoints have a significant effect on the volume and routes of...

Exchange Rate Volatility and Trade among the Asia Pacific Countries Econometric Analysis

Baak, SaangJoon - Graduate School of International Relations, … - 2004

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of exchange rate volatility on exports among 14 Asia Pacific countries, where various measures to raise the intra-region trade are being implemented. The empirical tests, using annual data for the period from 1980 to 2002, detect a...

Southern African Economic Integration: Evidence from an Augmented Gravity Model

Herman, Moshi Optat; Wandschneider, Kirsten; Warin, Thierry - In: The African Finance Journal 13 (2011) 1, pp. 1-13

This paper investigates the feasibility of creating a common-currency union consisting of 16 countries in Southern Africa. We estimate an augmented-gravity model that includes public deficit, public debt, public expenditure, inflation, and the foreign reserves position. We also integrate...

Toward a North American Security Perimeter? Assessing the trade, FDI, and welfare impacts of liberalizing 9/11 security measures

Georges, Patrick; Mérette, Marcel - In: Economic Modelling 29 (2012) 6, pp. 2514-2526

This paper examines the trade, FDI, and welfare impacts of (liberalizing) 9/11 security measures at the Canada–US border. First, the study provides econometric estimates of the impact of post 9/11 security measures on bilateral (US–Canada) trade flows. Second, we compute sectoral tariff...
