Firstly, the paper reviews the study situation of trade gravity model at home and abroad, and points out that the trade gravity model is not widely applied in the industrial trade flow. Secondly, the paper takes the export of China’s textile industry as an example to put forward export trade gravity model, and analyzes the influence of trade protection upon export of our textiles and other infl...

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the trading system in the inter-war period concerning the Japanese Empire by means of border effect analysis in the gravity model. The results show sizeable and steadily increasing trading bloc border effects from the 1910s through the 1930s. This sizeable border effect might have resulted from many possible factors: trade diversion and creation due to in...

This paper uses a gravity model approach in order to analyse the geographical patterns of Irish exports. The gravity model in international trade has been demonstrated to be an extremely robust empirical method. The gravity model is first applied to aggregate Irish exports from 1980 to 2007. Distance is found to have a strong negative effect on exports. On the other hand, exports are positively...

Generation of mesoscale eddies in the eastern South China Sea (SCS) in winters during August 1999 to July 2002 is studied with a reduced-gravity model. It is found that the orographic wind jets associated with the northeast winter monsoon and the gaps in the mountainous island chain along the eastern boundary of the SCS can spin up cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies over the SCS. Results suggest ...

I apply concentration measures from the inequality literature the Lorenz curve and Gini coefficient to the measurement of global and regional integration, and show that these can be derived from the theoretical gravity model in the presence of unequal costs of access for firms from different locations to a particular market. Overall, comparing 9 economies, I find that the USA is the most global...

Warehouse location is one of the most important logistics activities. The selection of the most effective warehousing mode has become a strategic study. This paper will introduce the factors influencing the decision process in selecting the warehouse locations based on gravity model approach and analytic hierarchy process. In the end, the author will summarize the methods and the results.

background: in this experimental study, the radiographic and biomechanical characteristics of osteoperforated rabbit tibia during bone repair period were investigated. materials and methods: using dental drills, 2 mm holes were drilled at the mid-shaft of right tibia in 12 new zealand white rabbits. the left tibia was intact and selected as the control. x-rays of the left and right tibias were ...

We give an explicit canonical transformation which transforms a generic chiral 2D dilaton gravity model into a free field theory.

The effects of the institutional determinants on trade in agricultural and food products are analyzed using a gravity model approach. We focus on the impact of the quality of governance and the similarity of institutions in explaining variation in bilateral agricultural and food trade patterns among the OECD countries. Results confirmed the separate effects for the institutional similarity and ...
