Declining Distance Effects in International Trade: Some Country-Level Evidence
Technical progress can be expected to reduce transport costs over time, yet most studies of bilateral trade based on the gravity model find distance effects to be increasing rather than decreasing. We investigate countries’ openness to international trade (the ratio of exports plus imports to GDP). We find that trade decreases with geographical remoteness, land area, and lack of access to the s...
متن کاملInternational trade in a model with heterogeneous trade costs, parallel imports and non-homothetic preferences∗
I incorporate heterogeneous trade costs into the model of Foellmi, Hepenstrick, and Zweimüller (2013) to analyze another reason for export zeros, additional to arbitrage constraints resulting from per capita income differences. In my model, high trade costs may be responsible for export zeros. The level of tariffs and transportation costs are crucial for patterns of international trade. I find ...

Recent cross-country data for over 200 nations in global regions were used to estimate equations for income, poverty and economic freedom.

Three import...
متن کاملTrade , Non - Homothetic Preferences , and the Impact of Country Size on Wages ∗
We study the impact of country size on wages in a two-country trade model with monopolistic competition and non-homothetic preferences. Since there is renewed interest in nonhomothetic preferences and variable markups, we revisit standard results on wages obtained using homothetic (CES) preferences. The standard results are that, under free trade, wages are equal and that, with iceberg costs, t...
