Current research on antidumping suggests a number of channels through which antidumping affects the volume of world trade. This paper uses a structural approach to the gravity model framework to evaluate these hypotheses using data on trade volume over the period 1960-2001. We conclude that the volume and welfare effects have been negative, but quite modest. JEL classification: C230; F14; F15

Three different global gravity model solutions have been released by the European GOCE Gravity Consortium: a direct solution, a time-wise solution and a space-wise solution. To date, two releases of each solution have been issued. Each of these solutions has specific positives and weaknesses. This paper shows and analyzes the differences between each solution in Central Europe by means of compa...

We investigate brane world models in higher-derivative gravity theories where the gravitational Lagrangian is an arbitrary function of the Ricci scalar. Making use of the conformal equivalence of such gravity models and Einstein-Hilbert gravity with a scalar field, we deduce the main features of higher-derivative gravity brane worlds. We solve for a gravity model that has corrections quadratic ...

The metropolitan area is an important carrier to enhance regional innovation capacity and soft power. There are always some imbalances in the dynamic process of regional development, for example, the metropolitan “lamp shadow” phenomenon. In this paper, we take the first nature and the second nature as research perspectives and construct a theoretical framework to analyze the “lamp shadow” phen...

Gravity field recovery from satellite altimetry provides global marine coverage but lacks the accuracy and resolution needed for many exploration geophysics studies. The repeating ground tracks of the ERS-1/2, Geosat, and Topex/Poseidon altimeters offer the possibility of improving the accuracy and resolution of gravity anomalies along widely spaced (∼40-km spacing) tracks. However, complete oc...

We consider brane-induced gravity model in more than one extra dimensions, regularized by assuming that the bulk gravity is soft in ultraviolet. We study linear theory about flat multi-dimensional space-time and flat brane. We first find that this model allows for violation of equivalence between gravitational and inertial masses of brane matter. We then observe that the model has a scalar ghos...

We study self-consistent cosmological solutions for an Einstein Universe in a graphbased induced gravity model. The graph-based field theory has been proposed by the present authors to generalize dimensional deconstruction. In this paper, we consider self-consistent Einstein equations for a “graph theory space”. Especially, we demonstrate specific results for cycle graphs. 1 Pre-history 1.1 Ind...

We show how a Metric Affine theory of Dilaton gravity can be reduced to an effective Riemannian Dilaton gravity model. A simple generalization of the Obukhov-Tucker-Wang theorem to Dilaton gravity is then presented. 04.20.-q, 04.40.-b, 04.50.+h, 04.62.+v [email protected]
