Product Heterogeneity, Intangible Barriers and Distance Decay: The Effect of Multiple Dimensions of Distance on Trade across Different Product Categories

Lankhuizen, Maureen B.M.; Graaff, Thomas de; Groot, … - Tinbergen Instituut - 2012

We empirically examine the heterogeneity in the effects of multiple dimensions of distance on trade across detailed … categories into an, a priori unknown, number of segments based on estimated coefficients of multiple dimensions of distance in … the gravity equation. We find that institutional distance, whether countries belong to the same trade block and especially …

Estimation of the Gravity Equation in the Presence of Zero Flows

Linders, Gert-Jan M.; Groot, Henri L.F. de - Tinbergen Instituut - 2006

The gravity model is the workhorse model to describe and explain variation in bilateral trade patterns. Consistent with both Heckscher-Ohlin models and models of imperfect competition and trade, this versatile model has proven to be very successful, explaining a large part of the variance in...
