This paper examines the hypothesis that a greater stock of migrants and flows of tourists in the United Kingdom from a particular country increases bilateral trade between the United Kingdom and country of origin. The literature and empirical findings show that migrants and tourists can...

In this paper we investigate the functional form of distance decay for commuting flows between municipalities in Denmark. Our inference is based on a single equation that includes variables to capture the effect of spatial structure. Special attention is given to a proper estimation method: We...

In this paper we determine the effect of transport cost on commuting flows, on the basis of an analysis of home-to-work journeys between municipalities in Denmark. Special attention is given to a proper estimation method and the form of the distance-decay function. It appears that neither an...
