“…For the Baltic states and Ukraine, there are some publications on the base of gravity models like Byers, et al, 2000;Ravishankar, Stack,2014. The opening up process of the eastern European countries is characterised by an increasing degree of trade integration with their Western neighbouring countries (Ravishankar & Stack, 2014;Kepaptsoglou, et al 2010).The authors attempted to provide evidence on the effects of an economic and political union by studying the trade flows of the three Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania after the breakup of the Soviet Union. They resulted that Baltic foreign trade was not only reduced significantly but also diverted to the members of the former Soviet Union.…”

The globalization process develops itself differently for each transition country. Likewise, implementation of reforms and their impacts on trade relations show variety among countries. The article focuses on five countries (Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Ukraine). It considers how the factors (the size of the economy, the ratio of the price index of the countries, common borders on the sea or on land, distance between the states and the existence of common currency) have affected the export trade volume with trading partners during 1996-2017. The main methodology of the article is formed around the gravity model, which suggests that trade relations between countries can be explained by their economic size and the distance between states' financial centres. The findings show that such factors still play a significant role, but logistic problems became much weaker during the last years. It is necessary to note the influence of the Industry 4.0, which intensifies the service of the economy and introduces new adjustments to the allegedly established

“…Crampon [21] firstly proposed the tourism gravity model based on Newton's law of gravitation, and held the opinion that tourism for a place depends on the population size and wealth of the tourism-generating region, the attraction of the destination, and the distance between the tourism-generating region and the destination. Scholars also support this opinion in their study of tourism demand [22,23], destination accessibility [16], and distance decay [24], and eastern European countries' potential trade [25]. The tourism gravity model is a typical paradigm to study distance decay in tourism and to analyze the corresponding influence factors.…”

Spatial Distribution Characteristics of Agritourism Consumption

Agritourism is a newly developed type of tourism, which is significant in promoting the sustainable development of rural economies and ecological environments. The spatial distribution of agritourism consumption is an important basis on which to formulate an agritourism development plan. This paper introduces the concept of agritourism consumption, which is applied to develop a theoretical model of spatial distribution based on the analogy that the attraction to agritourism by urban residents is similar to the attraction among charges in physics. With this model, the spatial distribution characteristics of agritourism consumption are investigated under the superposition of multifield sources arising from metropolitan regions. The results indicate that the field strength of agritourism consumption is gradually attenuated with spatial distance. The trend that field strength under multifield sources varies with distance is generally similar to that under a single field source, but the decay rate under multifield sources tends to slow down slightly in different directions. Due to the superposition of multifield sources, the spatial distribution of field strength is no longer in a pattern of concentric circles, but an uneven distribution of contour lines. In addition, there is a positive correlation between field strength distribution and the consumption demand of agritourism.

“…The importance of food security cooperation to ensure food security urgently needs to constantly improve methods, accurately judge the potential between countries, and put forward integrated development suggestions. In further method combing, it is found that the existing quantitative research on cooperation potential focused on agricultural product trade potential using index analysis [33,34], trade gravity model [35][36][37], and stochastic frontier gravity model [38][39][40]. The analysis of agricultural cooperation potential is mostly qualitative [41][42][43].…”

In recent years, the international status of agriculture in the BRICS countries—Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa—has been continuously improved. In 2018, the gross agricultural production of the BRICS countries accounted for more than 50% of the world’s total. Further strengthening the developing cooperation of the BRICS countries is of great significance for ensuring global food security. Based on the data from FAOSTAT and UN Comtrade Database, this study builds a food self-sufficiency rate and food security cooperation potential index to quantitatively analyze the food security status, cooperation effectiveness, and future trends of the BRICS countries. The study finds that the overall food security of the BRICS countries is generally showing a trend of volatility and growth, with high rates for cereals and relatively low rates for fresh products. In the future, BRICS food security cooperation should be based on their own resource endowment and socioeconomic characteristics. The BRICS countries need to constantly improve the awareness of joint cooperation and action in the future, focusing on scientific and technological cooperation, information sharing, complementary advantages in trade, and improving the global competitiveness of products. With the help of agricultural science and technology, Brazil is growing as a strong export country of food products. Russia needs to increase the introduction of agricultural science and technology and foreign capital to give full play to its resource advantages. India can improve its food self-sufficiency faster by the construction of a BRICS Agricultural Research Platform. China makes full use of BRICS resources, actively promotes agricultural enterprises to go global, and constantly optimizes the food supply structure. South Africa maintains the advantages of fruit and vegetable industry and increases the introduction and promotion of agricultural science and technology to improve the domestic food production capacity.
