Estimating the Gravity Equation when Zero Trade Flows are Frequent (2008)
In this paper we estimate the gravity model allowing for the pervasive issues of heteroscedasticity and zero bilateral trade flows identified in an influential paper by Santos Silva and Tenreyro. We...

The authors determine how time delays affect international trade using newly collected World Bank data on the days it takes to move standard cargo from the factory gate to the ship in 126 countries....

Product specialization in international trade: A further investigation
In an influential paper, Schott [Schott. Peter K. (2004). "Across-product versus within-product specialization in international trade." Quarterly Journal of Economics, 119 (2): 647-678] makes two...
Relationship-Specific Sunk Costs and Exporter Decisions
Using macro-level trade data, we investigate how different types of sunk costs influence decisions of exporters. We find that exporters’ decisions reflect sensibly their desire to minimize the...
Product Specialization in International Trade: A Further Investigation
In an influential paper, Schott (2004) makes two empirical observations about U.S. imports. (1) The United States is increasingly sourcing the same product (however narrowly defined) from both...
Estimating the Gravity Model When Zero Trade Flows are Frequent
In this paper we estimate the gravity model allowing for the pervasive issues of heteroscedasticity and zero bilateral trade flows identified in an influential recent paper by Santos Silva and...
The Home-Market Effect and Bilateral Trade Patterns: A Reexamination of the Evidence
Cong S. Pham, Mary E. Lovely, Devashish Mitra
In this paper, we reexamine closely the empirical evidence for the home-market effect (HME) found by Hanson and Xiang (American Economic Review, 2004). We first show that evidence for the HME from...
