Effects of Regional Trade Agreement to Local and Global Trade Purity Relationships

Figure 1

Fitting the distribution characteristics of trade resistance, based on the hypothesis of two categories. In (a), (c), and (e), gray dots show the trade resistance between countries around the world. In (b), (d), and (f), gray bars express the trade resistance quantified from the extended gravity model; the blue dotted line is the fitted results with the EM algorithm.
