Gravity, distance, and international trade
Baier, Scott L.; Kerr, Amanda; Yotov, Yoto V. - 2017
We review and interpret the main theoretical developments in the gravity literature from its very early, a-theoretical applications to the latest structural contributions. We also discuss challenges and implement methods to estimate empirical gravity equations. We finish with a presentation and...

Shipping inside the box : containerization and trade
Coşar, A. Kerem; Demir, Banu - 2017
We quantify the effect of container technology on transport costs and trade by estimating the modal choice between containerization and breakbulk shipping using micro-level trade data. The model is motivated by novel facts that relate container usage to shipment, destination and firm...

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 …

Distance(s) and the volatility of international trade(s)
Mehl, Arnaud; Schmitz, Martin; Tille, Cédric - 2019
Does distance matter for the volatility of international real and financial transactions? We show that it does, in addition to its well-established relevance for the level of trade. A simple model of trade with endogenous markups shows that demand shocks have a larger impact on trade between...

Distance and border effects in international trade : a comparison of estimation
Magerman, Glenn; Studnicka, Zuzanna; Van Hove, Jan - 2015
This paper compares various estimation techniques used to determine the impact of distance and borders on international … estimation method. In addition, also the size of both effects varies substantially across estimation methods. Finally, the … authors generally find that the estimations are in line with the respective weighting schemes of each estimation method. …

Using lasso-type penalties to model time-varying covariate effects in panel data regressions : a novel approach illustrated by the 'death of distance' in international trade
Hess, Wolfgang; Persson, Maria; Rubenbauer, Stephanie; … - 2013
When analyzing panel data using regression models, it is often reasonable to allow for time-varying covariate effects. We propose a novel approach to modelling timevarying coefficients in panel data regressions, which is based on penalized regression techniques. To illustrate the usefulness of...

The Puzzling Persistence of the Distance Effect on Bilateral Trade
Disdier, Anne-Celia; Head, Keith - 2005
One of the best established empirical results in international economics is that bi-lateral trade decreases with distance. Although well-known, these results have not been systematically analyzed before. We examine 1052 distance effects estimated in 78 papers. Information collected on each...
