Standard gravity variables do well in predicting relative trade costs but fail to capture the level of bilateral trade costs (under-predict for poor countries and over-predict for more developed countries).
“As demonstrated by Egger and Nigai (2015) and Agnosteva et al. (2019), the 'standard gravity variables' (e.g., distance, contiguity, etc.) do well in predicting relative trade costs, however, they fail to capture the level of bilateral trade costs (e.g., they under-predict the bilateral trade costs for the poor countries and over-predict them for the more developed countries).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
