Small countries tend to be more remote from each other than large countries. If country A trades more with country B than with country C, B must be closer to A than C. Distance is the most important measure in determining trade volume than GDP.

Solution

The gravity model of trade predicts that:

  1. Countries will trade with each other even if they are similar: This is true. The gravity model of trade suggests that even similar countries will trade with each other due to differences in resource endowments, technology, and other factors.

  2. Small countries tend to be more remote from each other than large countries: This is not necessarily true. The gravity model of trade does not take into account the size of the countries but rather the distance between them and their economic size (GDP).

  3. If country A trades more with country B than with country C, B must be closer to A than C: This is not always true. While distance is a factor in the gravity model of trade, it is not the only factor. Other factors such as economic size and trade policies can also influence trade volumes.

  4. Distance is the most important measure in determining trade volume than GDP: This is not true. Both distance and economic size (GDP) are important factors in the gravity model of trade. However, it is not accurate to say that one is more important than the other as they both play significant roles.
