“…In the case of Albania not all RTAs and FTAs have the same effect on agricultural trade, in our study export creating affect was confirmed for RTA with CEFTA 2006 countries and export diversion effect for FTA with EFTA countries. According to gravity model for Egypt's agricultural exports (Hatab et al, 2010) 1% increase in Egypt's GDP generates more than 5% increase in its agricultural export flows. In contrast, the increase in Egypt's GDP per capita causes exports to decrease, similarly as in our model.…”

“…Hence, Albanian migrants might lower information and transaction costs through knowledge of homecountry markets, language, business contracts etc. Therefore, empirical studies suggest that larger migrant stocks are associated with higher trade flows (see Gould, 1994 Effects of exchange rate are frequently incorporated in gravity models dealing with agricultural trade (see Koo et al, 1994;Frankel and Wei, 1998;Hatab et al, 2010). In our case, annual exchange rate is determined by the Albania's currency units (ALL/Albanian Lek) per one unit of the importing country currency.…”

Despite its huge agricultural potential, Albania has a sharp trade deficit with agricultural commodities. The main focus of this study is to analyse key determinants of its agricultural export. Here we employ baseline gravity model considering conventional gravity variables for Albanian export flows for the period 1996-2013. The Poisson Pseudo-Maximum Likelihood (PPML) regression is used for stepwise estimations of the augmented gravity model, including effects of Albanian Diaspora, exchange rate and price stability, trade liberalization and institutional distance. Main findings suggest that agricultural export flow increases with increasing economic size, revealing higher impact of importer's absorbing potential comparatively to Albania's productive potential. On the other hand, growth in domestic demand, resulting from increase in population, leads to reduction of agricultural export. Moreover, agricultural export flows are determined by low transportation costs (distance), adjacency proximity (sharing common border) and linguistic similarities. Presence of Albanian Diaspora residing in the importing countries facilitates export flows. Results of this study reveal that exchange rate variability has a positive impact, while bilateral institutional distance has diminishing effects on Albanian agricultural exports.

“…Os modelos de gravidade aumentados ou estendidos (ver OGULEDO e MACPHEE, 1994) têm sido utilizados para análise de comércio desagregado, tendo obtido resultados bastante robustos. Por exemplo, Hatab et al (2010) aplicaram o modelo de gravidade para analisar os principais fatores que influenciam as exportações agrícolas do Egito para seus principais parceiros comerciais (1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008). O trabalho mostrou que um aumento de 1% nas respectivas rendas brutas do Egito e de seus parceiros comerciais provocaria uma elevação de 0,74% e 5,73% no comércio bilateral de produtos agrícolas daquele país.…”

Resumo: Este trabalho analisa os determinantes das exportações de castanha de caju da Guiné-Bissau para a Índia no período de 1986-2011, utilizando o modelo de gravidade de Bergstrand (1985). Os resultados reportados do modelo de dados em painel (MQO-pooled) sugerem, por um lado, que o fluxo de exportações de castanha de caju é negativamente relacionado com o custo de transporte e, por outro, positivamente relacionado com a taxa de câmbio e rendas brutas e per capita, o que é consistente com os pressupostos teóricos dos modelos gravitacionais e com os estudos seminais da literatura econômica com a aplicação desses modelos.

“…Following Hatab, Romstad, and Huo () and Sheldon, Khadka Mishra, Pick, and Thompson (), importer fixed effects were applied to control for country‐specific influences on trade flows. The distance variable was thus dropped as it would have been collinear with the importer fixed effects.…”

The exports of US distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), a coproduct of corn ethanol, have grown more than five-fold over the last decade. However, there is limited knowledge of what factors drive US. DDGS exports and how those factors could impact future US DDGS exports. This study aimed to identify the determinants of US DDGS exports and estimate the growth of DDGS exports to major international buyers. A commodity-specific gravity model was estimated using the pseudo-Poisson maximum likelihood method for US DDGS exports to 29 countries over 2000-2013. Results suggest that the importing country's meat production, technical barriers to trade, tariffs, and US ethanol production influence US DDGS exports. A baseline outlook for US DDGS exports to the six major importing countries through 2020 generated from the estimated gravity model shows China's commodity and trade policy could have a vital impact on US DDGS exports. Variations in DDGS exports under the scenarios of high and low meat production in those importing countries were also derived.
