Abstract: In most trade analysis, transport costs, when considered, are viewed as some constant wedge between traders. This ignores variability in these costs and the effects on producers and consumers resulting from increased market instability due to distance. As a result, the effect of distance on trade may be stronger than traditional trade theory suggests.
