Citations in the corpus
- On the Specification of the Gravity Model of Trade: Zeros, Excess Zeros and Zero-inflated Estimation (2009, methodology): “According to Haveman and Hummels (2004), a major weakness of the specification of the gravity model is therefore that it implies trade among all countries in all goods.”
- Zeros, Quality and Space: Trade Theory and Trade Evidence (2007, background): “Haveman and Hummels (2004) is similar in sprit to our paper, although they focuses on import zeros.”
- Gravity Equations: Workhorse,Toolkit, and Cookbook (2013, unknown): “Head et al. (2009) adapt the Eaton and Kortum (2002) model to the case of service offshoring.”
- Exploring the Intensive and Extensive Margins of World Trade (2004, unknown): “A further case in point is Haveman & Hummels (2004) whose imperfect-specialization-based foundation of the gravity equation is motivated by its better consistency with the large number of zero entries in bilateral trade matrices.”
- The Log of Gravity (2006, unknown): “However, Haveman and Hummels (2001), Feenstra, Markusen, and Rose (2000), and Eaton and Kortum (2001) derive the gravity equation without relying on complete specialization.”
- Estimating Trade Flows: Trading Partners and Trading Volumes (2008, unknown): “Unlike our equations, theirs are subject to the criticism raised by Haveman and Hummels (2004).”
- Trade Facilitation and Export Diversification (2011, background): “6 all other countries, and thus bilateral trade matrices tend to contain a large number of zero entries (Haveman and Hummels, 2004).”
