The Gravity Equation in International Trade: Some Microeconomic Foundations and Empirical Evidence

TL;DR: The gravity equation has been widely recognized for its consistent empirical success in explaining many different types of flows, such as migration, commuting, tourism, and commodity shipping as mentioned in this paper, but its use for predictive purposes has been inhibited owing to an absence of strong theoretical foundations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Do Free Trade Agreements Actually Increase Members' International Trade?

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors address the endogeneity of free trade agreements using instrumental-variable (IV) techniques, control function (CF) techniques and panel-data techniques; IV and CF approaches do not adjust for endogeneity well, but a panel data approach does.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Generalized Gravity Equation, Monopolistic Competition, and the Factor-Proportions Theory in International Trade

TL;DR: In this article, a general equilibrium model of world trade with two differentiated-product industries and two factors is developed to illustrate how the gravity equation, including exporter and importer populations, as well as incomes, "fits in" with the Heckscher-Ohlin model of inter-industry trade and the Helpman-Krugman-Markusen models of intraindustry trade.
Journal ArticleDOI

The growth of world trade: tariffs, transport costs, and income similarity

TL;DR: Hummels and Levinsohn as mentioned in this paper investigated the relative effects of transport-cost reductions, tariff liberalization, and income convergence on the growth of world trade among several OECD countries between the late 1950s and the late 1980s.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson Model, The Linder Hypothesis and the Determinants of Bilateral Intra-Industry Trade

TL;DR: Theoretical rationales for the robust empirical relationships between the share of intraindustry trade between two countries and the average levels of, and inequalities between, their GDPs, per capita GDPs and tariffs have either varied or not been demonstrated formally within a unified analytical framework.
