Q2. What have the authors stated for future works in "Gravity equations: workhorse, toolkit, and cookbook" ?
Predicting which topics will turn out to be fertile for future research is never easy. Future research will need to devise ways to 56 investigate the consequences of departing from these assumptions and also ways to test whether the data clearly reject the current set of restrictions customarily impose mainly for tractability rather than realism. However, based on their assessment of the current set of problems and unresolved issues the authors offer three suggestions. The authors are comfortable with transport costs and tariffs yet they have reason to believe that neither are the most important determinants of trade costs.
