The gravity model of trade is utilized to assess the impact of disintegration on trade. The analysis is based on three … strong home bias around the time of disintegration, with intra-union trade exceeding normal trade approximately 43 times in … fall in trade intensity. Nevertheless, there is a considerable hysteresis in economic relations, with trade flows among the …

This study examines two key challenges in services trade research: the reliability of trade data and the measurement of … non-tariff barriers, particularly the Services Trade Restrictiveness Index (STRI). Using firm-level panel data from … explanatory power of the gravity model declines with more detailed microdata. We also find that the STRI's link to trade flows is …
