Barriers to international trade are known to be large but due to data limitations it is hard to measure them directly for a large number of countries over many years. To address this problem I derive a micro-founded measure of bilateral trade costs that indirectly infers trade frictions from...

Barriers to international trade are known to be large. But have they become smaller over time? Building on the gravity … directly from the model's gravity equation without imposing arbitrary trade cost functions. As an illustration, I show that U …

Many studies have found that international borders represent large barriers to trade. But how do international borders compare to domestic border barriers? We investigate international and domestic border barriers in a unified framework. We consider a unique data set of exports from individual...
