The Incidence of Geography on Canada's Services Trade

We estimate geographic barriers to export trade in nine service categories for Canada's provinces from 1997 to 2007 using the structural gravity model. Constructed Home, Domestic and Foreign Bias indexes (the last two new) capture the direct plus indirect effect of services trade costs on intra

我们采用结构引力模型（structural gravity model），对1997至2007年间加拿大各省九类服务的出口贸易地理壁垒进行了估计。构建的本土偏好指数、国内偏好指数及国外偏好指数（后两者为新指数）捕捉了服务贸易成本对intra的直接及间接效应。
