“…If this variable is expressed in logarithms, the coefficient would represent an elasticity, as explained in Wooldridge (2018, chapter 17). Some examples with a loglinear formulation of exports can be found in Santos Silva and Tenreyro (2006) or Moura et al (2019).…”

International trade is one of the key spheres of economic policy. It is crucial for a country to understand the dynamics of its export markets to create a coherent strategy to improve its position in global markets. Research in this field is particularly interesting for both economists and policy makers. However, due to a lack of data, most of the well-established literature is focused on the national level. Therefore, there is little evidence on the influence of local characteristics on export markets. This research aims to evaluate the influence of regional factors on the competitiveness of firms in international markets, focussing on the importance of agglomeration economies and location, among other local factors. To identify this influence, this paper studies the case of Brazil. This country offers rich disaggregated information that allows this type of research and displays enormous differences across rural and urban areas. Given these differences, the assumption of homogeneous effects is too restrictive. Therefore, to study the patterns across different territories around the country, Geographically Weighted Generalized Linear Model (GWGLM) method is applied. The results indicate an interaction between location and the influence of several local characteristics such as human capital, the degree of development and the local economic structure. This relationship creates virtuous circles in a few locations where urban agglomerations create a suitable environment for firms, while opposite patterns appear in other locations.

“…Other scholars analysed the trade patterns of port hinterlands (Debrie & Guerrero, 2008; Ferrari et al, 2011) and the role of port infrastructure in the international trade orientation of regions (Bottasso et al, 2018; Wilson et al, 2005). In particular, Márquez‐Ramos (2016) and Moura et al (2019) looked at the role of regional spillovers and economic size in explaining the intensity of provincial maritime flows.…”

This research examines the similarities between port traffic structure and economic structure of French port cities.Based on the combination of Automated Identification System (AIS) data and employment data, it performs complementary analyses of the mutual specialization between ports and cities. Main results show that while larger cities handle more diversified traffic, the cross-specialization is blurred by the complexity of trade networks and supply chains. We then propose a novel methodology whereby the spatial unit of analysis is enlarged according to the type and volume of port traffic.

“…Undoubtedly, integrating transport and regional development is important in the literature of economic geography (Fujita et al, 1999). In particular, as maritime transport through ports has become the major transportation mode in international trade after the rise of GVC (Amador and Cabral, 2016;Jacobs et al, 2010), recent studies on port and port regions have renewed the significance of the interdependence between transport and the economic performance of regions (Bottasso et al, 2018;Ducruet and Itoh, 2016;Moura et al, 2019;Zhao et al, 2020;Qi et al, 2020). Starting from the idea of ports providing a comparative advantage to the economic activities of neighboring regions (Fujita and Mori, 1996), scholars tried to prove that ports function as an important infrastructure endowment to promote international trade and investment and facilitate regional development.…”

“…Since the list of products at a port is not just a piled prod-ucts but a product, in which a knowledge for being connect to the global market is embedded. In this regard, a port is also a knowledge hub through which information and knowledge associated with the global market or the GPNs embodied in commodity flow (Bottasso et al, 2018;Ducruet and Itoh, 2016;Moura et al, 2019;Zhao et al, 2020;Qi et al, 2020). With consideration of a port as a knowledge hub, Ducruet and Itoh (2016) investigated the links between commodity types of port traffic and economic activity types in port regions.…”

We examine the spillover effect of neighboring ports on regional industrial diversification and their economic resilience using the export data of South Korea from 2006 to 2020. First, we build two distinct product spaces of ports and port regions, and provide direct estimates of the role of neighboring ports as spillover channels spatially linked. This is in contrast to the previous literature that mainly regarded ports as transport infrastructure per se. Second, we confirm that the knowledge spillover effect from neighboring ports had a non-negligible role in sustaining regional economies during the recovery after the economic crisis but its power has weakened recently due to a loosened global value chain.
