Really great resource for anyone who teaches undergraduate trade classes! @YotovG put together a great chapter on the introduction of gravity models for undergrad students and novices in trade, along with data exercises. Thank you for such amazing work @YotovG! Gravity rules!
🚨 GRAVITY for UNDERGRADS🚨
Very happy to share “Gravity for Undergrads” - a Chapter, designed to introduce the gravity model to undergrads and novices in trade. It comes with data and code in Stata & R. I hope it is useful. Gravity rules 💪
