Structural gravity
Often referred to as the workhorse of international trade analysis, the structural gravity model is one of the most popular and successful frameworks in economics. Hundreds of papers have used the gravity equation to study and quantify the effects of various determinants of international trade.
Advanced Guide to Trade Policy Analysis: The Structural Gravity Model
This Advanced Guide to Trade Policy Analysis provides the most recent tools for analysis of trade policy using structural gravity models. It was written by experts who have contributed to the development of theoretical and empirical methods in the academic gravity literature and who have rich practical experience in the field. In particular, this publication explains how to conduct partial equilibrium estimations as well as general equilibrium analysis with structural gravity models. It contains practical guidance on how to apply these tools to concrete policy questions.
