9 “Augmenting” the gravity equations Income per capita (higher income countries trade more) Adjacency Common language, colonial links Institutions, infrastructures, labour flows,... Surprisingly, bilateral tariff barriers often missing!!!

10 “Augmenting” gravity model Traditional approach to evaluate the impact of RTAs: Trade creation and trade diversion ln (Trade ij ) = a ln(GDP i ) + b ln(GDP j ) + +c ln(distance ij,,adjacency, language..) + d (Dummy i ) + + e (Dummy j ) + g (intra-RTA ij ) + h (extra-RTA ij ) + u ij IMPORTANT the gravity model does not estimate welfare effects

11 “Augmenting” gravity model...the problem of endogeneity of FTA (Baier and Bergstrand, 2005) dln TradeShare ij, t-(t-1) = b dRTA ij,t-(t-1) + d Dummy i,t-(t-1) + e Dummy j, t(t-1) + u ij n*t Country-and-time fixed effects

12 2-12 The Gravity Model Other things besides size matter for trade: 1.Distance between markets influences transportation costs and therefore the cost of imports and exports. – Distance may also influence personal contact and communication, which may influence trade. 2.Cultural affinity: if two countries have cultural ties, it is likely that they also have strong economic ties. 3.Geography: ocean harbors and a lack of mountain barriers make transportation and trade easier.

13 2-13 The Gravity Model (cont.) 4.Multinational corporations: corporations spread across different nations import and export many goods between their divisions. 5.Borders: crossing borders involves formalities that take time and perhaps monetary costs like tariffs. – These implicit and explicit costs reduce trade. – The existence of borders may also indicate the existence of different languages (see 2) or different currencies, either of which may impede trade more.

14 2-14 The Gravity Model (cont.) In summary, in its basic form, the gravity model assumes that only size and distance are important for trade in the following way: T ij = A * (Y i * Y j )/D ij where T ij is the value of trade between country i and country j A is a constant Y i the GDP of country i Y j is the GDP of country j D ij is the distance between country i and country j

15 2-15 The Gravity Model (cont.) In a slightly more general form, the gravity model that is commonly estimated is T ij = A x Y i a x Y j b /D ij c where a, b, and c are allowed to differ from 1. Perhaps surprisingly, the gravity model works fairly well in predicting actual trade flows.
