Topic 5.2
Why has the Gravity Model of trade been critiqued when analyzing modern global trade ties?
There are issues with its assumption that all countries have equal gravitational pull.
It doesn't consider factors like online commerce or free trade agreements.
It excludes consideration of cultural similarities between trading nations.
The theory only applies to goods, not services or capital flows.
