Attempts are made to provide a theoretical justification for using the gravity model in the analysis of bilateral trade and apply the generalized gravity model to analyse the Bangladesh’s trade with its major trading partners using the panel data estimation technique. We have estimated the gravity model of trade (sum of exports and imports), the gravity model of export and the gravity model of ...

Recent statistics have shown how trade has grown quickly over the last decades in East, South, and Southeast Asian countries. East countries been among most dynamic participants international trade. It strongly implies estimating openness effects unemployment economies. This paper empirically investigates impacts of measures on rate an unbalanced panel context for period 2006-2016.

The paper examines the impact of trade liberalization on the poor through its impact on prices and incomes .A simple framework is given which traces the impact of trade liberalization on the poor. There is unambiguous empirical evidence from economies around the globe and for some of the Asian economies included in our sample that trade openness promotes economic growth. Raising economic growth...

This study analyzes the impact of international trade on environmental efficiency. Using a data envelopment analysis (DEA) model that allows us to treat undesirable outputs and super-efficiency beyond unity, we measure the environmental efficiency of four typical air pollutants—SO2, NOx, particulate matter 10 μm or less in diameter, and CO2—for 98 countries for the period 1970–2008. The resulti...

Trade and Unemployment: What Do the Data Say? This paper documents a robust empirical regularity: in the long-run, higher trade openness is causally associated to a lower structural rate of unemployment. We establish this fact using: (i) panel data from 20 OECD countries, (ii) cross-sectional data on a larger set of countries. The time structure of the panel data allows us to deal with endogene...

This study is an empirical attempt to find out whether under sanctions Iran’s trade direction has shifted away from Europe (trade policy of de-Europeanization) towards Asia (trade policy of Asianization). The analysis is conducted using a panel-gravity trade model to analyze bilateral trade pattern between Iran and 50 countries from the EU and Asia during the period 2006–2013. To this end, the ...
