Climate distance and bilateral trade
研究发现气候差异随时间的变化与双边贸易额相关,可能通过影响生产率水平发挥作用,对研究贸易与气候关系的学者有参考价值。
Climate conditions are sources of comparative advantages and may foster trading opportunities. Through a gravity-type approach we show that overtime variations in climate differences correlate with bilateral trade values. Intuitively, these differences may be associated with diverse productivity levels, a plausible channel through which climate distance affects trade.
