Project List

Current research papers and projects I am working on:

Consistent estimation of bilateral trade gravity equations using spatial econometrics

Study of the effect of EU market integration on per capita income of members. The effect of integration on trade, and the effect of openness to trade on income are combined.

Development of an integrated trade and transport database, leading into an in-depth analysis of trade and transport activity for the Netherlands.

Various papers dealing with methods of estimating gravity models that take account of zero-valued observations.

Investigating the determinants of trade and FDI. What affects the trade-off between export and FDI: the impact of different dimensions of transactional distance.

The Space of Gravity

Estimation of gravity equation: Poisson, zero flows and overdispersion

Transit and Trade in the Netherlands

Trade, growth and the effect of the EU Internal Market

Distance and the Mode of Foreign Supply
