Illusory Border Effects: Distance mismeasurement inflates estimates of home bias in trade (2002, methodology): “(c) For internal distances of Canadian provinces, Helliwell and Verdier (2001) use urban agglomerations and two or three rural areas as their sub-provincial geographic units.”
Language and Foreign Trade (2008, unknown): “(See, for example, Helliwell (1998), who has taken more recently to using the more felicitous term, “alternative trade opportunities,” ALT, for the inverse of remoteness (Helliwell and Verdier (2001)).”
'Dual' Gravity: Using Spatial Econometrics to Control for Multilateral Resistance (2007, background): “Note that we did not try more complex measures of interregional distance as suggested in, e.g., Helliwell and Verdier (2001) or Head and Mayer (2002).”
Do state borders matter for U.S. intranational tradeq The role of history and internal migration (2007, methodology): “While Wei [49] and Wolf [50] approximate internal distances as one-half the distance between the largest city and nearest border, Nitsch [39] and Helliwell and Verdier [28] criticize such calculations.”
The law of one price: intranational evidence for Canada (2003, methodology): “However, studies of intranational trade report significant border effects for U.S. states (Wolf 2000) and Canadian provinces (Ceglowski 2000; and Helliwell and Verdier 2001).”
