The gravity model is frequently used to analyse bilateral trade statistics. In the paper we will\r\nidentify, exclusively for Romania, the significant factors of influence on bilateral trade flows. As\r\nfactors, we will consider the clasical gravity variables and some suplimentary dummy variables.\r\nAlso, we will determine, using the estimated equation of the gravity model, the efficiency of\r\nRomanian international trade with its partners....
Seven K, also known as ââ?¬Ë?Cairo Leather Industries Co.,ââ?¬â?¢ is a joint stock company located in Egypt and\r\nproducing various leather products for both local and export markets.

In this paper the relationship between globalization and distribution of income in Iran with\r\nusing of time series data over 1977-2007 is investigated. For this purpose, we used Auto\r\nRegressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model and long-run and short-run relations between\r\ninvolved variables in model are considered. The trade intensity index is used as measure of\r\nglobalization. Results indicated that, there is long-run relationship and co-integration between\r\ninvolved variables and the Gini coefficient. Furthermore, accompanied by other variables\r\nglobalization, has a positive and significant effect on dependent variable. Value of error\r\ncorrection coefficient is equal to -0.90 and statistically significant and suggests a high speed\r\nof convergence to equilibrium....
This short empirical paper attempts to study on the empirical investigation on the relationship\r\nof foreign trade and institutional stocks on economic growth of the ASEAN nations. The\r\npanel data which contains ten countries in ASEAN is employed to use in this paper and the\r\neconometric estimations such as Pooled OLS and Fixed-Effect estimations are adopted. In\r\nthis paper, the conventional factors such as fixed capital formation and economically\r\nemployed labor and domestic credit sizes are controlled. Finally, the empirical results from\r\nthis paper suggest a strong positively significant relationship between total stocks of\r\ninstitutions, foreign trade and domestic credit development on economic growth of these\r\nnations. Moreover, when controlling conventional factors and domestic credit sizes, foreign\r\ntrade and individual effect of government effectiveness, accountability, rule of law and\r\npolitical stability plays extremely roles in economic development of these nations.\r\nAdditionally, foreign trade effect on economic growth of these nations has changed over time;\r\nincreasing sharply, in particular after the ASEAN Free Trade Area was launched in 1992....
