Partial and general equilibrium impacts of trade digitalization using structural gravity model

Duval, Yann; Utoktham, Chorthip - 2024

The study estimates partial and general equilibrium impacts of trade digitalization on trade flows using data from the UN Trade Digitalization Index (TDI) 2024 and a structural gravity model. This approach, unlike earlier gravity model studies on the topic, allows for the derivation of both...
