This paper examines the impact of education, governance and North-South trade- and distance-related technology … preceding the Great Recession (1976–2007) in a new model that integrates models of trade-related and distance …-related international technology diffusion. Our model's explanatory power is 38% (62%) greater than that of the main trade-related (distance …

A distance between pairs of sets of autoregressive moving average (ARMA) processes is proposed. Its main properties are … discussed. The paper also shows how the proposed distance finds application in time series analysis. In particular it can be … used to evaluate the distance between portfolios of ARMA models or the distance between vector autoregressive (VAR) models. …

distance between business partners is still relevant even when information and communication technologies (ICT) provide …

In this paper we claim that distance alone is a poor proxy for international transport costs in empirical studies. 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 …

distance-related migration costs cannot explain the lower distance sensitivity of educated and risk-loving individuals. …
