Abstract
Using a gravity approach, this study primarily explores Bangladesh's trade pattern. It is found that Bangladesh's trade patterns are basically consistent with the prediction of the gravity model across decades. Additionally, the comparison between actual and predicted trade volumes indicates that Bangladesh's exports are heavily dependent on the US market. Policy implications follow.
期刊介绍:
Review of Urban & Regional Development Studies (RURDS) focuses on issues of immediate practical interest to those involved in policy formation and implementation. Articles contain rigorous empirical analysis, with many emphasizing policy relevance and the operational aspects of the academic disciplines, while others focus on theoretical and methodological issues. Interdisciplinary and international in perspective, RURDS has a wide appeal: in addition to scholars, readership includes planners, engineers and managers in government, business and development agencies worldwide.
