This study contributes to the literature by shedding light on the significance of trade agreements in the context of countries\u2019 positions in worldwide trade agreement networks, by combining network theory with gravity trade modelling. We illustrate, both numerically and graphically, the evolution of the global web of trade agreements in general, and the network of the European Union specifically, accounting for the geographical and temporal change in the depth of agreements implemented. Gravity estimations for the period 1995-2017 distinguish the direct bilateral effects of trade agreements from indirect effects attributable to the scope of trade networks and countries\u2019 positions therein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","jelcode":[276,104,61,505],"keyword":[350,1108,1028,22],"class_list":["post-1814","publication","type-publication","status-publish","hentry","jelcode-d58","jelcode-f13","jelcode-f14","jelcode-f43","keyword-free-trade-agreements","keyword-network-effects","keyword-structural-gravity-model","keyword-trade-policy"],"acf":{"year":2020,"month":9,"day":"","volume":"","number":"","pages":46,"reviewed":"","citeid":"FIW_RR_2020_2","fiwseries":"FIW Studien","event":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Greater than the sum of its parts?
