Abstract:
In this article, a Poisson gravity model is introduced that incorporates spatial dependence of the explained variable without relying on restrictive distributional assumptions of the underlying data-generating process. The model comprises a spatially filtered component including the origin-, destination-, and origin-destination-specific variables and a spatial residual variable that captures origin- and destination-based spatial autocorrelation. We derive a two-stage nonlinear least-squares (NLS) estimator (2NLS) that is heteroscedasticity- robust and, thus, controls for the problem of o

The subject of trade negotiations has been a highly publicised debate in the context of Brexit.

By using bilateral trade data between 2005 and 2017 for Sweden and their top 60 trading partners, an elaborated gravity model for trade suggests a significant long-run decline in the magnitude of trade between Sweden and the United Kingdom.

Abstract:
In the year of 1999 a new monetary experiment commenced – the birth of the euro. Over the years more countries have joined the new currency and it was expected to be a continuously growing community. The purpose of this paper is to measure the effect of European membership, the currency of euro and the financial crisis on trade between the countries located in Europe. For the task of this paper the gravity model is used to study the bilateral trade flows in the European Union from 1995-2011. It additionally investigates, besides the correlation between GDP and distance, the effect of shared bo

Abstract:
This thesis takes a closer look at the complex maneuver known as gravity assist, a popular method of interplanetary travel. The maneuver is used to gain or lose momentum by flying by planets, which induces a speed and direction change. A simulation model is created using the General Mission Analysis Tool (GMAT), which is intended to be easily reproduced and altered to match any desired gravity assist maneuver. The validity of its results is analyzed, comparing them to available data from real missions. Some parameters, including speed and trajectory, are found to be extremely reliable. The mod

Abstract:
<p>The link between foreign direct investments (FDI) and trade is firmly established in economic literature. Yet despite the vast amount of literature on this subject, very few have tried to look at FDI through the lens of trade theory, choosing rather to approach the subject on either a macroeconomic-level or on firm-level. The purpose and scope of this paper is to explore FDI through the lens of trade-theory. The central questions in this thesis are whether the gravity model of trade can serve as a reliable model for FDI value as well? Are there certain variables in the gravity model that ar

Abstract:
In this thesis, we study the relationship between the effective spacetime theory of Liouville string theory in two spacetime dimensions and the collective field of the c=1 matrix model by finding exact solutions on both sides. The correspondence between the matrix model and the effective spacetime theory turns out to be nonlinear in their fields. By comparing the exact solutions on both side, we show the nonlinearity begins to appear at the second order in terms of the incoming tachyon field. In particular, we employ the chiral formalism in the matrix model the formalism allowing to write down
