Distance and the Pattern of Intra-European Trade

Open access
Beckerman, W.·1956·The Review of Economics and Statistics

Abstract

THE basic question to which this paper is addressed is "What is the importance of distance in determining the pattern of Western European trade?"The importance of distance in the pattern of trade has, of course, always been recognized.The assumption of "no transport costs," which has always been necessary in expositions of theories of international trade, is a recognition of the fact that transport costs, that is, the costs of covering distance, exist and are significant; so that abstraction from them has to be made quite explicitly in order to analyze other elements such as factor endowments.'

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.
