Resumo(s)
Regardless of their formal existence, borders do have an effect
of diminishing trade. The reduction that the existence of a
border causes on potential trade flows is classified as “border
effect”. The present paper provides an estimation of such effect
on the Portugal -Spain border.
For this, interregional trade relations are considered. All 20
peninsular NUTII regions are concerned. Data used are the
interregional Iberian trade matrices provided in Ferreira (2008).
A model for these flows is conducted using, among several
other explaining factors, the existence of a national border
between regions. Thus the border effect is predicted. On this
paper we provide an estimation of border effects by
economic sectors, showing that different industries
experience in different manners the consequences of
borders
