Abstract: Abstract In the economics literature traditional export demand functions in gravity models are a function of the exchange rate, economic activity and distance between countries. Models of this type provide a useful framework to examine international mail traffic. For example, Anson and Helble (2013) and Anson et al. (2014) have estimated international gravity models using econometric techniques and the latter have concluded that favorable exchange rate movements stimulated parcel dispatches within the Asia and Pacific region.
