Size and proximity effects of economy on India’s bilateral tare in tea - The Indian Journal of Economic - 398(C-3), Jan, 2020: 395-408
Using data collected from various published sources, present study made an attempt to examine the size and proximity effect of the economies on India's bilateral trade in tea with her leading trading partner's during 1988-2016 using gravity model of trade theory. The findings of the study are consistent with the gravity model of trade theory. However, geographic adjacency seen to have significant inverse association with India's bilateral trade in tea during the 29 years period of study. Beside self sufficiency the restrictive trade policies of neighbouring nations to some extent responsible for sluggish export of Indian tea to the contiguous nations during the reference period. – Reproduced
