Gravity Equation
GRAVITY EQUATION:
Τ =????∗????????∗????????/????????
D increases – T decreases / Y increases – T increases
Tij = the value of trade between country i and country j – bilateral trade flow
A = a constant
Yi = GDP of country i (exporter)
Yj = GDP of country j (importer)
Dij = distance between both countries (bilateral trade friction) – impact of distance increased over time (modern transportation over time and communication – hard to find data: Distance puzzle)
Size (GDP): of an economy
