Table reports averages of estimated trade costs by country. Weighted averages use the product of exports divided by the sum of the product of
exports over all observed trading partners as weights. Averages (weighted and unweighted) are taken for all available observations in each decade

Notes: Change refers to the difference between the pair average of trade costs. The averages are taken at the pair level
between 1870 to 1879 and also 1910 to 1913. The difference between these two values is then presented. Pairs have
uneven numbers of observations in each period and many of the possible country pairs do not have data in one or both
periods. 53 country pairs out of the roughly 250 possible have at least one observation of trade costs in both periods and
represent the sample for this statistic.

and serial correlation robust standard errors. Column 3 uses country pair fixed effects. See the text for descriptions of the variables.* significant at the 10% level; **significant at

Notes: Dependent variable is the natural logarithm of trade costs cols (1)-(2). Dependent variable is listed above for cols. (3)-(5). Year indicators are included but not reported. Estimation is by "random effects" or OLS with
heteroscedasticity and serial correlation robust standard errors. Column 2 and 4 use country pair fixed effects. See the text for descriptions of the variables.* significant at the 10% level; **significant at the 5% level; ***

Notes: Dependent variable is the natural logarithm of the product of real exports. Year indicators are included but not reported. Estimation is by OLS with heteroscedasticity
and serial correlation robust standard errors. Column 2 uses country pair fixed effects. Column 3 uses country fixed effects interacted with indictaors for each "decade"
between 1870 and 1913 (the last "decade" includes 1900-1913). See the text for descriptions of the variables.* significant at the 10% level; **significant at the 5% level; ***
