“…In the second column, the intraregional flows are controlled including the border effect dummy 'ownreg'. The 'border effect' coefficient estimate (3.984) is very large and consistent with other empirical findings regarding border effects in Spain, for industries such as 'Chemical products' or 'Non-metallic minerals' (Ghemawat et al 2010;Requena and Llano 2010). In this case, this large border effect is not expected to be driven by an external barrier to trade.…”

In relation to social networks, it has been shown that intensity of trade in goods is positively correlated with migration flows between pairs of countries/regions. In this article, we investigate whether such a relation also holds for interregional trade of services. We also consider whether interregional trade flows in services linked with tourism exhibit spatial and/or social network dependence. Conventional empirical gravity models assume the magnitude of bilateral flows between regions is independent of flows to/ from regions located nearby in space, or flows to/from regions related through social/cultural/ethic network connections. With this aim, we provide estimates from a set of gravity models showing evidence of statistically significant spatial and network (demographic) dependence in the bilateral flows of the trade of services considered. The analysis has been applied to the Spanish intra-and interregional monetary flows of services from the accommodation, restaurants and travel agencies for the period 2000 2009, using alternative datasets for the migration stocks and definitions of network effects.Keywords Social networks Á Gravity models Á Trade of services Á Internal tourism Á Bayesian spatial autoregressive regression model Á Spatial connectivity of origin destination flows

“…The two additional variables are included as extra factors that facilitate trade (sharing a border with Portugal, BP, and with France, BF) are negative and positive signed, respectively, although the variable border with Portugal is not statistically significant in the baseline regression. According to the results in column 1 of Requena and Llano, 2010). This border effect (column 1 of Table 3) is slightly higher than in the estimations of McCallum (1995), which showed that Canadian cross-provincial trade was 22 times larger than cross-border trade with states in the United States.…”

Geographical factors and transport infrastructure are two of the key determinants that influence international competitiveness. In this sense, the quality of such infrastructure and how widespread it is, the distribution and capacity of logistics facilities in a country, as well as the number of private operators and their degree of specialisation, all play an increasingly important role in the design of business strategies aimed at increasing a country's share of the international market. Until recently, however, availability and access to logistics services have been considered secondary factors when defining business competitiveness. This paper estimates an augmented gravity model of trade that specifically includes logistics and transport infrastructure indicators as explanatory variables. The model is estimated by using bilateral exports from 19 Spanish regions to 64 destinations (45 countries and 19 Spanish regions) with data for the period 2003 to 2007. The findings show that logistics is indeed important for the analysis of trade flows in goods and they highlight the importance of logistics measures at the regional level. In particular, the number, size and quality of logistics facilities positively influence export flows.

“…Gravity models began to obtain sound theoretical groundings from the 1970s onwards after being applied to various contexts in economics (Anderson, 1979;Bergstrand, 1985Bergstrand, , 1989Helpman and Krugman, 1985;Breuss and Egger, 1999;Anderson and van Wincoop, 2003;Requena and Llano, 2010). An analogy of Newton's gravitational attraction, the basic model considers that bilateral trade flows depend positively on the income of the two economies and negatively on the distance that separates them, apart from including other dummy variables that capture the qualitative effects that influence the exports of a country (language, border, etc.…”

Logistics performance and export competitiveness: European experience

This article aims to analyse the importance of logistics performance in European Union (EU) exports over a sample period in order to detect possible advances on behalf of Member States. We will estimate several gravity equations using the Logistics Performance Index (LPI) and its components as characteristic proxy variables of trade facilitation. In order to avoid the possible heterogeneity caused by sample bias, we will employ the two-stage model proposed by Heckman. The estimations of the gravity models using the two-stage Heckman model for 26 EU countries lead to the conclusion that logistics were more important for exporting nations than importing nations in both
