Abstract
⺠We formulate a structural gravity equation based upon a Krugman-type trade model. ⺠The elasticity of substitution can be estimated without ad valorem trade-cost data. ⺠We implement the model with empirical data and using Monte Carlo simulations. ⺠We estimate unbiased and precise coefficients, elasticities, and comparative statics.
