In previous research, we analysed the effect of technological innovation, understood as absorptive capacity, on exports by using a gravity model of trade for the year 2000 (see Márquez-Ramos and Martínez-Zarzoso, 2009). We found that the effect of technological innovation on trade varies...

This article describes the development of international trade blocs world wide from the 1950s till 2010. We updated the data on international trade flows and introduced a new trade bloc variable based on the intramax hierarchical clustering technique, which defines trade blocs on actual trade...

I investigate the effect of changing language skills on trade using an unique panel data set on spoken language. It tracks over thirty, mostly European, countries from the mid-90s to the beginning of the 2010s. In this period, European countries have witnessed an advancing trade integration and...

This paper empirically examines the heterogeneity in the effects of multiple dimensions of distance on trade across … dimensions of distance in the gravity equation. The paper contributes to the literature by offering a new classification of … products into homogeneous groups. We find that distance decay functions in a gravity model of international trade at a …

Cutting trade costs, especially those stemming from non-tariff measures, is a growing priority for policy makers. One way to achieve this is for countries to improve their co-operation on regulatory matters. An avenue open to governments is to include provisions related to international...

The distance puzzle has been wildly discussed in the literature since Leamer and Levinsohn (1995) shed the light on it …. This puzzle simply says that "the world is not getting smaller": distance still matters to account for trade. This is … reflected in a decreasing distance of trade (DOT), or in a stable or increasing (negative) elasticity of trade with respect to …
