This study uses the gravity model to estimate the effects of food safety regulations implemented by the partner countries on agri-food exports of China. Annual bilateral trade data are compiled for major agrifood export items of China like apples, kidney beans, garlic, mandarins and orange, meat...

This study investigates the impact levels of determinants on Vietnam’s coffee exports by applying the Spatial Gravity Model and panel data to consider the spatial dependence in the gravity model. The Spatial Gravity Model was employed to spatially examine influencing factors among trading...

This paper presents a framework for estimating and simulating a quantitative spatial model of trade and violence. In this new theoretical and empirical setup, designed for the analysis of bilateral flows, we first model the general equilibrium interactions between the economic and fighting...

Traceability requirements aim to protect consumer health, prevent the spread of adulterated or dangerous products, and facilitate the identification of goods during recalls. This paper aims to provide the impact of traceability related non-tariff measures (NTMs) on trade between 53 exporting and...
