• Power Laws in Economics: An Introduction (2016, background): “As one possible underlying reason, Chaney (2013) proposes an ingenious model linking this distance to the probability of forming a link in a random growth model of networks, which, under Zipf’s law, generates the appropriate coefficient.”
• The Impact of Services Trade Restrictiveness on Trade Flows (2017, neutral): “More recently, Chaney (2013) proposed a theory of gravity where the effect of distance is accounted for by informational frictions between firms and their network of potential suppliers, rather than physical transport costs and trade barriers, and that is therefore well suited for services sectors.”
