Gravity Channels in Trade
Hou, Yulin - 2017
Gravity variables such as distance, adjacency, colony, free trade agreements or language are used to capture the effects of trade costs in empirical studies. By using actual data on trade costs, this paper decomposes the overall effects of such variables on trade into those through three gravity...

Exploring the intensive and extensive margins of world trade : presented at Venice Summer Institute, Workshop on Dissecting Globalization, July 2004
Felbermayr, Gabriel; Kohler, Wilhelm - 2004
World trade evolves at two margins. Where a bilateral trading relationship already exists it may increase through time … have not traded with each other in the past (extensive margin). We provide an empirical dissection of post-World-War- II … growth in manufacturing world trade along these two margins. We propose a "cornersolutions- version"of the gravity model to …

Foreign direct investment and trade : a bi-directional gravity approach
Harach, Monika; Rodriguez-Crespo, Ernesto - 2014
This paper compares the traditional gravity model with a bidirectional approach when multilateral resistance is implemented to analyze the effect of inward foreign direct investment (FDI) on exports. We use cross-sectional HS trade data disaggregated at a 6-digit level in 2010 with controls for...

The determinants of trade costs : a random coefficients approach
Egger, Peter; Průša, Jan - 2014
This paper assesses whether the sensitivity of bilateral trade volumes to various trade cost factors is constant or varies across countries. It utilizes a random coeffcients model and analyses a cross-sectional sample of bilateral trade data for 96 countries in 2005. We expect the elasticity of...

Market size and factor endowment : explaining comparative advantage in bilateral trade by differences in income and per capita income
Schumacher, Dieter - 2001
Using a gravity-type explanation of international trade flows at the industry level, it is shown that the pattern of comparative advantage in terms of sectoral export/import ratios in bilateral trade can be explained by relative income and relative per capita income. Total income of a country is...

Return of the tariffs : the interwar trade collapse revisited
Adam, Marc Christopher - 2019
Was the collapse of world trade between 1928 and 1937 caused by higher transport costs, increased protectionism or the … collapse of the gold standard? Using recent advances in the estimation of gravity equations, I examine the partial and general …

Distance and border effects in international trade : a comparison of estimation methods
Magerman, Glenn; Studnicka, Zuzanna; Van Hove, Jan - 2016
This paper compares various estimation methods often used in the estimation of gravity models of international trade …. The authors first discuss different structural and consistent estimation techniques, their underlying assumptions and … empirical methodologies. They focus on a comparison of the distance and border effects across estimation techniques. For the …

The role of institutional environment in international trade : the case of Spanish regions
Márquez-Ramos, Laura - In: Region : the journal of ERSA 3 (2016) 2, pp. 125-140
We move beyond the nation-state as the unit of analysis and use subnational spatial variation to study the effect of the institutional environment on international trade. Additionally, we address the heterogeneous effect of trade agreements on different regions within a country. Employing a...
