Time s...

the main objective of this study is to evaluate the spatial effect on fluctuations of trade based on the spatial panel data econometric method and wavelet smoothing using bilateral trade weighted matrix. the negative spatial dependent are estimated. using data from 34 most-important countries the period of 1980-2010 are investigated through spatial model and maximum likelihood estimation method...

Abstract This article is an empirical attempt to explore the relationship between sanctions (financial and non-financial), oil price shocks and Iran-Russian bilateral trade flows over the period 1991–2014.
