About

Trade costs is an academic concept encompassing the totality of expenses, frictions, and barriers associated with the international exchange of goods, services, and factors of production. It investigates factors such as tariffs, non-tariff measures, transportation expenses, information costs, and institutional differences, which collectively impede trade flows, shape global economic integration, and influence the distribution of gains from trade.
