On the Role of Distance for Bilateral Trade

Author

Listed:
  • Peter Egger

Abstract

This study addresses the role of distance in a partial equilibrium model of bilateral trade and tests hypotheses in a large panel data‐set of trade flows. The analysis obtains three implications regarding the empirical specification of trade frictions in gravity models. Two results illustrate the relevance of the approach.
