Note(s): ESTEqBiCom: Bilateral Trade Equation Estimators. The natural logarithm is represented by “l” placed before the independent variables. IntegrationSW is the measure of integration calculated using Squalli and Wilson’s (2011) proposal. Standard errors are shown in parentheses. Significance levels: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001
