| Popis: | Our innovative GM approach is to a large extent derived as a follow-up to the theoretical foundations and methodologies in estimating panel datasets of open economies as proposed and applied by Peter Egger in his recent research (the list of his publications related to GM is enclosed). It is our ambition to contribute to his ideas by our experiences at Charles University, which we derived from countless experiments, involving the participation of PhD and MA students in seminars aiming at testing various hypotheses on trade and finance using innovative econometric approaches. These are the two sources of our proposals to augment gravity modelling in several directions. GM are a part of wider research of open issues in international economics where the openness and globalisation are countervailed by forces of home bias and self-sufficiency (Obstfeld and Rogoff, 2000), to which we would like to contribute. The innovations are aimed at enabling a decomposition of trade flows according to the location of agents within national borders, the direction of trade flows, the time span, and the product category. To achieve this objective, our research must align the theoretical context of models with the problems of real decision-makers. Therefore the specification and calibration of applied models, the data used for inferences and the techniques of estimation require many innovative adjustments. We aim to convert GM into a series of instruments capable of analysing the practical problems of exporters, producers in general, importers, investors and policy-makers. Compared to standard macroeconomic approaches to GM manifold of modifications of existing techniques are required to achieve this. |
