| I calculate road travel times between the capitals of US states and Canadian provinces with Google Maps. With this measure of trade cost I estimate the US-Canada border effect for aggregate and industry-level trade flows in line with the method introduced by Anderson and van Wincoop (2003), as well as using linar fixed effects and Poisson estimation. I find a high degree of heterogeneity in the resulting coefficients. |
