Climate distance and bilateral trade

Emilia Lamonaca, Martina Bozzola and Fabio Santeramo

Economics Letters, 2024, vol. 237, issue C

Abstract: Climate conditions are sources of comparative advantages and may foster trading opportunities. Through a gravity-type approach we show that overtime variations in climate differences correlate with bilateral trade values. Intuitively, these differences may be associated with diverse productivity levels, a plausible channel through which climate distance affects trade.
