  abstract = {The aim of this paper is to analyze the Erasmus students’ flows between Romania and the partner countries in the period between 2004 and 2012 using the gravity model.The analysis was made in EViews. For the determination of the coefficients, panel data were used, with 8 cross-sections and 9 periods, respectively the period between 2004 and 2012. The findings are similar with the ones in the previous studies: the GDP and the population have a positive effect on the Erasmus students’ flows, the geographical distance and the cultural distance between two partner countries do not have a significant influence on the Erasmus students’ flows and the linguistic similarity between the country of origin and the host country has a positive effect on the Erasmus students’ flows.This paper is useful for the Romanian students, who are interested to know in which countries are other Romanian students and, also, for the Romanian and international universities, to find out which aspects they have to improve in order to be more attractive for the international students. 
The main originality is the application of the gravity model on the Romanian Erasmus students’ flows.
