This paper uses a gravity model to assess ex-post regional trade agreements. The model
includes 130 countries and is estimated with panel data over the period 1962–1996. The …

We apply a gravity model to 1980–1996 annual nonfuel imports data for 58 countries to
quantify the effects of recently created or revamped PTAs on trade. We modify the gravity …

The estimated coefficient of distance on the volume of trade is generally found to increase
rather than decrease through time using the traditional gravity model of trade. This distance …

This paper evaluates agricultural trade creation and diversion effects of the most important
free trade agreements (FTAs). Trade creation and diversion effects are estimated using a …

A great deal of post-war trade liberalization resulted from regional, preferential trade
agreements. Preferential trade agreements cut tariffs on goods originating only in those …

The gravity model is used extensively to investigate the trade flow effects of Regional Trade
Agreements (RTAs). A notable feature common to previous research is the use of aggregate …

The aim of this paper is (i) to assess the impact of regional agreements on members' trade in
Sub-Saharan Africa (intra-regional trade as well as trade with the rest of the world) …

Trade protection costs the European Community between 6 and 7 percent of its gross
domestic product, or the equivalent of the annual economic output of Spain. Continuing the …

This paper uses gravity modelling to explore whether and how the growth of China's exports
is displacing exports of other Asian countries to third markets over the period 1990–2003 …

In this paper, we review the debate on" new regionalism," focusing on the tools used to
evaluate regional trade agreements (RTAs). We find that much analysis uses tools from old …
