Institutional determinants of bilateral trade : an analysis according to product type

Linders, Gert-Jan M.; Groot, Henri L. F. de; Rietveld, Piet - 2005

Formal trade barriers and transport costs explain only part of the resistance to international trade. Search costs on the international market and insecurity of property rights and contract enforcement have recently been emphasized as important intangible barriers to trade. This paper proposes...
