Abstract

We used gravity model to analyze the significant factors affecting intra-GCC trade flows, in order to evaluate the status of intra-GCC trade during 1989-2014. We used the idea of Head (2003) to calculate the distance. The results show that there is a positive correlation between GCC GDP in import and export, as well as a negative impact for each of the gross domestic products, geographic distance and the population rate in the four countries under study.
