Gravity model states that the volume of trade between two countries is directly proportional to the GDP of the countries and inversely proportional to the distance between the two countries.
So, if the trade is very large between two countries, the distance between the two countries will be small.

Class Exercise the Gravity Model Use this information to answer the following questions: The GDPs of countries A, B, and C are $1,000, $2,000, and S3,000, respectively. There are 1,000 miles between country A and B and 2000 miles between countries B and C. Assume that their markets are monopolistically competitive.
