Unlocking New Methods to Estimate Country-specific trade Costs and Trade Elasticities
Freeman, Rebecca; Larch, Mario; Theodorakopoulos, Angelos; … - 2021
We propose new methods to identify the full impact of country-specific characteristics on bilateral trade flows within the framework of ‘the new quantitative trade model’. We complement theory with a simple two-stage estimating procedure, and offer a proof of concept by quantifying the...

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 their impact on estimated coefficients. They then estimate...
