Capitalizing on the latest developments in the gravity literature, we utilize two new datasets on sanctions and trade … to study the impact of economic sanctions on international trade in the mining sector, which includes oil and natural gas …. We demonstrate that the gravity equation is well suited to model bilateral trade in mining and find that sanctions have …

Combining two new datasets on sanctions and agricultural trade and implementing step-by-step the latest developments in … the empirical structural gravity literature, we investigate the effects of sanctions on international trade of … agricultural products. We find that trade sanctions have been effective in impeding agricultural trade, while other sanctions do …

Using a new, global data base covering the years 1950 to 2015, we study the impact of sanctions on international trade … but also widely heterogeneous across sanctioning countries. Moreover, they depend on the direction of trade. We also …

A structural gravity model is used to estimate barriers to services trade across many sectors, countries and time …

equilibrium effects of GATT/WTO membership on trade and welfare. Using an extensive database covering manufacturing trade for 186 … countries over the period 1980-2016, we find that the average impact of GATT/WTO membership on trade among member counties is … for non-member countries. We show that countries not experiencing positive trade effects from joining GATT/WTO can still …

We propose a short-run model of the extensive margin of trade and deploy it to distinguish and quantify domestic and … cross-border margins. Our empirical focus is on the domestic extensive margin of trade (domestic distribution of a product …) and its importance for quantifying policy and globalization effects on the international extensive margin of trade. We …

We propose a simple and flexible econometric approach to quantify ex-ante the "deep" impact of trade liberalization and … measure of the change in bilateral trade costs in response to a hypothetical policy change. To demonstrate the effectiveness … of our methods, we focus on the integration between the countries from the Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA …

The gravity equation is the workhorse model for analysis of bilateral trade flows. Despite solid theoretical … paper focuses on domestic trade flows, and I argue that there are significant benefits from adhering to theory by estimating … gravity equations with domestic (in addition to international) trade flows. To this end, I review the contributions from the …

On the eve of its 60th anniversary, the gravity model of trade is a "celebrity", due to its intuitive appeal, solid …
