Description: "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-provincial, inter-provincial and international trade relative to their frictionless benchmarks.  Barriers to services international trade are huge relative to inter-provincial trade and large relative to goods international trade.  A novel test confirms the fit of structural gravity with services trade data"--National Bureau of Economic Research web site.
