5-Day Online FDP on Econometric Analysis of Structural Gravity Model: Methods and Applications | Dr. Tariq Masood, Aligarh Muslim University

5-Day Online FDP on Econometric Analysis of Structural Gravity Model: Methods and Applications

Dates: 10–14 November 2025

Time: 02:00 PM – 04:00 PM (IST)

Platform: Online (Google Meet)

About the FDP

The Structural Gravity Model has become one of the most powerful empirical tools in economics for analyzing bilateral trade flows and other economic relationships. Initially borrowed from physics, the gravity model is now widely applied in trade policy, migration studies, tourism flows, investment, and capital movements.

Over the past two decades, the traditional gravity framework has undergone significant transformation with advancements on both the theoretical and econometric fronts. However, estimation of gravity models also brings challenges such as zero trade flows, multilateral resistance, endogeneity, heteroskedasticity, and non-linearities. This FDP is designed to help participants address these challenges effectively using STATA software.

The program will blend theoretical discussions with hands-on training, enabling participants to apply econometric techniques directly in their research and policy analysis.
