Abstract:
Because of different traits and the substitution between trade in cultural goods and cultural services,the competitive ability of the above two trade modes represents dissimilar characteristics. The paper demonstrates the distinct traits of determined factors of international trade in cultural goods and trade in cultural services by data of Canada. The results are as follows: GDP and population,two control variables of the gravity equation,have opposite effects on these two trade modes,geography distance have negative effects on two trade modes,and trade in cultural services are affected more by geography distance. The effects of cultural distance on two trade modes are ambiguous. The coverage of information network has positive effects on trade in cultural goods,but has no obvious effects on trade in cultural services.
