Rahman, Mohammad Mafizur and Dutta, Dilip (2012) The gravity model analysis of Bangladesh's trade: a panel data approach. Journal of Asia Pacific Business , 13 (3). pp. 263-286. ISSN 1059-9231
Abstract
The article applies generalized gravity models to analyze Bangladesh's bilateral trade pattern using the panel data estimation technique. The results reveal that Bangladesh's trade is positively determined by the size of the economies, per capita gross domestic product differential and openness of the trading countries. Bangladesh's exports are positively determined by its income, partner countries' total import demand and openness, but negatively determined by partner countries' income and domestic inflation. Bangladesh's imports are positively determined by income of trading countries and degree of openness of the partner countries and negatively determined by partner countries' inflation. Transportation costs affect Bangladesh's trade negatively.
