Abstract
This chapter reports on an interdisciplinary experiment involving three fields — economics, political science and regional science — and involving a model from a fourth field, physics. The phenomenon to be understood is trade. From each of the first three fields, we take one and only one set of basic concepts, or components, to play a role in the gravity model and to provide a framework for specifying the variables used in the model: respectively, supply and demand; co-operation and hostility; and space or distance.
