摘要
In the presence of country fixed effects, monadic variables are not identified in the traditional gravity equation. The paper uses a hybrid two-stage treatment model to overcome the identification problem. The model also accommodates endogeneity in monadic variables. An application to the trade impact of the Olympic Games is presented. Results highlight the empirical significance of endogeneity left untreated in the gravity equation.
