An Advanced Guide to Trade Policy Analysis: The Structural Gravity Model (2016, methodology): “Fourth, it resolves the “distance puzzle” in trade, by measuring the effects of distance on international trade relative to the effects of distance on internal trade (Yotov, 2012).”
Estimating the effects of non‐discriminatory trade policies within structural gravity models (2017, background): “9 Examples include Eaton and Kortum (2002), Head and Ries (2008), Anderson and Yotov (2012) and Head and Mayer (2014).”
On the widely differing effects of free trade agreements: Lessons from twenty years of trade integration (2019, unknown): “Adapting a related idea from Yotov (2012), the simple adjustment proposed by Bergstrand et al. (2015) is to explicitly control for the effects of globalization in the gravity model by introducing a set of globalization dummies.”
The currency union effect on trade is decreasing over time (2012, background): “6See Bosquet and Boulhol (2009) and Dias (2011) for a similar result and Yotov (2012) for a simple solution to the distance puzzle. data and specification, Levy-Yeyati (2003) documented differential effects on trade between multilateral and unilateral currency unions.”
Economic Integration Agreements, Border Effects, and Distance Elasticities in the Gravity Equation (2015, methodology): “However, unlike Carrere, de Melo, and Wilson (2009) and Bosquet and Boulhol (2013), we include as in Yotov (2012) intranational trade and distances; this feature is important to nd declining distance e ects on international trade, because we allow for measurement of the e ects of distance on…”
