Abstract
This paper argues that there is a differential behaviour between the richest and the poorest economies in the gravity model framework. Results show that geographical and cultural factors are more important for developing than for developed economies, and a good economic policy in developing countries is to invest in technological innovation and in transport infrastructure.
