This paper analyses the effect of international borders and of trade agreements at international borders on subnational … 1950 and 2017. Our results show that international borders decrease regional income per capita, while trade agreements at … international borders increase regional income per capita by about the same magnitude.

Using available bilateral trade data between members of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA …) formerly PTA, this study estimated the extent of intra-industry trade and the factors that determine this trade in the region …. The results of the study show that indeed this trade does exist and it is determined by the same factors as found in other …

This paper studies the intangible costs of international trade by extending the basic gravity equation with measures of … cultural and institutional distance, and institutional quality. Analyzing a sample of bilateral trade flows between 92 … countries in 1999, we find that institutional distance has a negative effect on bilateral trade, presumably because the …

We carry out an indirect inference test of two versions of a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of world trade …. One of these, the ‘classical’ model,is well-known as the Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson model of world trade, in which … countries trade homogeneous products in world markets and produce according to their comparative advantage as determined by …

We investigate the effects of US-imposed trade sanctions on the global trade patterns of sanctioned countries by … partial and complete US sanctions lead to significant reductions in bilateral trade between the US and target countries as … well as between target and third countries. A unit increase in the intensity of complete trade sanctions in place reduces …
