"Nested Gravity"
by Yotov, Yoto, James Anderson and Mario Larch


Abstract
We build and estimate a structural dynamic general equilibrium model of growth and trade. Trade
affects growth through changes in consumer and producer prices that in turn stimulate or impede physical
capital accumulation. At the same time, growth affects trade, directly through changes in country size
and indirectly through altering the incidence of trade costs. The model combines structural gravity
with a capital accumulation specification of the transition between steady states. Theory translates
into an intuitive econometric system that identifies the causal impact of trade on income and growth,
and also delivers estimates of the key structural parameters in our model. Counterfactual experiments
based on the estimated model give evidence for strong dynamic relationships between growth and
trade, resulting in doubling of the static gains from trade liberalization.
