Does Distance Matter? The Influence of ICT on Bilateral Trade Flows
Information and communication technology (ICT) has altered previous notions of distance and led to discussions in the popular press of the “death of distance.” Geographic distance typically results in diminished trade flows between countries, but does ICT play a role in overcoming geographic distance? This article examines the key hypothesis that ICT reduces the cost associated with the conduct...
متن کاملDoes home market size matter for the pattern of trade?
Does home market size matter for the pattern of trade? Krugman started the literature, showing it does matter. Davis overturned his result, arguing that an assumption of convenience—transport costs only for the differentiated goods—conveniently obtained the result. Here we relax another persistent assumption of convenience—two industry types differentiated only by the degree of scale economies—...
متن کاملDeterminants of bilateral trade flows
This thesis aims to shed light on the determinants of bilateral trade flows across countries. Following the ideas of Linder, a demand-side approach is being taken next to the prevailing trade theories analysing trade from a supply-side perspective. Recent theoretical works predict patterns of trade in which southern countries export mostly to northern countries and northern countries to a broad...
متن کاملA World Trade Model with Bilateral Trade Based on Comparative Advantage
This paper describes an extension of Duchin’s World Trade Model to include the explicit representation of transportation costs, permitting the endogenous determination of bilateral trade flows and region-specific prices. The original model is a linear program that, based on comparative advantage and the minimization of factor use, determines regional production and trade flows as well as world ...
متن کاملBilateral Trade Flows and Income Distribution Similarity.
Current models of bilateral trade neglect the effects of income distribution. This paper addresses the issue by accounting for non-homothetic consumer preferences and hence investigating the role of income distribution in the context of the gravity model of trade. A theoretically justified gravity model is estimated for disaggregated trade data (Dollar volume is used as dependent variable) usin...
