“…The determinants of Cameroon's foreign trade with 28 trade partners from the European union countries are investigated by the study of Doumble and Belinga (2015). The finding of this study reveals that a bilateral trade between Cameroon and its selected trade partners is positively affected by the economic size of the country and per capita income, and negatively affected by a geographical distance of trading partners.…”

This study aims to identify the most important factors affecting the flow of Jordanian foreign trade, with its main trading partners for the period . To achieve this objective, the gravity model was adopted using a random effects model. The empirical findings show that Jordan's foreign trade is positively determined by Jordan's RGDP and dummy variable that used to capture the effect of a common border with Jordan. On the other side, distance and similarity index are found to be significant factors in influencing Jordanian foreign trade negatively. Finally, the study found that the RGDP of trade partner and bilateral real exchange rate are not statistically significant.

“…Haggai (2016) used the traditional extended gravity model of international trade on a panel data covering 15 countries over a period of 15 years (2000–2014) to understand the Sino-Zambia trade relations. Doumbe and Belinga (2015) have used the gravity model to analyze the trade trend among Cameroon and 28 EU countries. Sejdini and Kraja (2014) have included the variables FTA and common border in their gravity model equation to analyze international trade in Albania.…”

Trade between Mauritius and China has been increasing at a rapid pace. As there are only few studies about Sino-Mauritian trade, there is therefore a need to study the determinants affecting trade flows between the two countries. This paper uses the “Gravity Model” with a sample data of 23 years (1997–2019) to analyze the trade between Mauritius and China. The results show that GDP’s growth rate, exchange rate, and FDI both have significant effects on Mauritian trade; however the former has a positive effect while the latter two has a negative one. The economic mass of the two countries have promoted trade, while an appreciation in Chinese currency and large amounts of direct investment have on the other side hindered Mauritian trade. A concrete trade agreement between the two sides can help in reducing the costs of trade between the two countries and improve the situation.

The foreign trade market is one of the most effective engines of economic growth in Egypt. Given its importance to the Egyptian economy, the factors influencing export flows between Egypt to its main trading partners need to be studied. The gravity model and panel data method is an essential and common approach for analyzing bilateral trade flows. It has proved to be a valuable method for analyzing a country's trade potential and bilateral trade. This study applied the gravity model with geographical and financial variables. Moreover, it offers a new empirical perspective to indicate that these variables have analytical power to explain several factors that influence the cross-country trade flows; this research explores the relationship of Egyptian exports to 36 global trading partners across annual data covering a period from 2000 to 2018. In its random effect model of the panel data, the gravity model results showed that the main factors influencing the Egyptian bilateral trade are Egypt's gross domestic product, importer's gross domestic product, the border factor, and the distance between Egypt to the main trading partners. Some variables have a positive coefficient, like population, trade openness rate, and regional trade agreements, but they are insignificant for the Egyptian bilateral trade. The language factor is negative and insignificant to Egypt's trade. These findings will enable Egypt's government, policymakers, and traders to make suitable decisions to develop the influential role of Egypt's international trade.
