摘要本文比较了国际贸易重力模型估算中常用的各种估算方法。作者首先讨论了不同的结构和一致性估计技术，它们的基本假设和它们对估计系数的影响。然后，他们使用各种经验方法估计全球双边贸易流动的重力模型。他们的重点是跨估计技术的距离和边界效应的比较。对于边界效应，他们考虑了邻接效应以及区域内和区域间贸易的区别。他们的研究结果证实了各种估计方法的显著负距离效应和显著正邻接效应，尽管不同方法的影响大小差异很大。全球区域的边界效应在大小和方向上对应用的估计方法更为敏感。虽然所有的估计方法都有各自的优点和缺点，但作者根据他们的发现为未来的实证研究提供了一些指导。
Abstract This paper compares various estimation methods often used in the estimation of gravity models of international trade. The authors first discuss different structural and consistent estimation techniques, their underlying assumptions and their impact on estimated coefficients. They then estimate the gravity model for global bilateral trade flows using various empirical methodologies. They focus on a comparison of the distance and border effects across estimation techniques. For the border effects they take into account adjacency effects as well as the distinction between intra-regional and inter-regional trade. Their findings confirm the significantly negative distance and the significantly positive adjacency effect across estimation methods, although the size of the effects varies substantially across methods. The border effects by global regions are much more sensitive – both in size and direction – to the applied estimation method. Although all estimation methods have their own merits and drawbacks, the authors provide some guidelines for future empirical research based on their findings.
