“…In our case, new empirical evidence is gathered of the positive effect of integration into the EU, from a very long-term perspective and in a disaggregated fashion for the distinct subsectors which comprise the food and drink industry. These results complement the academic debate which has focused solely on the effect of the liberalisation of the barriers to trade with Spanish incorporation into the EU (Contreras & Bacaria, 2000;Sanz, 2000;Sanz & Gil, 2001;Gil Pareja et al, 2005;Selva & Álvarez-Coque, 2011). In addition, we can partially qualify the results of some previous studies, since the positive effect upon the exports of the Spanish agrifood industry as a consequence of the liberalisation of the EU markets occurred later than the actual date of adherence.…”

“…For the Spanish agrifood sector, however, research in this line has been very limited in comparison to studies focusing on other effects such as the liberalisation of trade barriers. The focus has been on Spanish incorporation into the EU, paying little attention to other factors which also favour the expansion of such trade (Contreras & Bacaria, 2000;Sanz, 2000;Sanz & Gil, 2001;Gil Pareja et al, 2005;Selva & Álvarez-Coque, 2011) and thus studies of this factor are needed. We also believe that analysing the food trade from this other perspective is important, as this is crucial to an understanding of Spanish exports.…”

The objective of this study was to analyse, from a long-term perspective, the factors determining the process of the internationalisation of the Spanish agrifood industry. The paper concentrates on the empirical verification of the existence of a home market effect in the food and drink industries in Spain and on the effects on trade flows of integration into the European Union. With this aim in mind, we took into account the latest contributions to the estimation of the gravity equation for a sample of export flows from 13 agrifood subsectors between 1970 and 2012, with a destination of 175 markets. From the results of the study the existence of the "home market effect" stands out as the determining factor of the increasing process of internationalisation in the majority of the subsectors of the food industry. On this point, the presence of this effect is remarkable in the most dynamic industries, where the process of restructuring caused by the development of the internal market was more intense. Furthermore, the influence of the process of European integration has been shown by the literature to be a very important factor. Our results qualify in part the results of previous studies, since the positive effect appeared later than expected. The positive effects did not appear until the completion of the process of transition by the dismantling of the barriers established in the treaty of accession to the European Union.

“…To contribute to shed light on this question we will focus our attention on sub‐national border effects in Spain. The possibility of border effects within Spain should not be excluded, especially taking into account the existence of motivating evidence in this regard (Gil‐Pareja et al ; Requena and Llano ). Although the high economic relevance of the border obtained in previous papers could appear somewhat surprising, there are some reasons that can make us believe that consumers within Spain might prefer goods from their home region rather than those from other regions (all such regions being known as autonomous communities in Spain).…”

Revisiting the importance of border effect in sub‐national regions. Evidence from a quasi‐experimental design

Literature provides significant border effects on consumer prices even for sub‐national regions. Nevertheless, Gorodnichenko and Tesar showed that the evidence from the usual methodology could be illusory if there is cross‐regional heterogeneity in the distribution of within‐region price differentials. We designed a quasi‐experiment that, using a transport fuel dataset, is applied to the Spanish regions. We found that, despite controlling for regional tax divergences, price differences remained critically dependent on regions. However, results suggest that the presence of borders per se is practically negligible to explain the lack of regional integration. Factors underlying the distribution heterogeneity are responsible for this.

El presente trabajo plantea una aplicación al caso de la política europea de cooperación transfronteriza (CTF). Se revisa la CTF llevada a cabo en la frontera hispano-portuguesa desde una perspectiva funcional, mediante una descripción panorámica del proceso de implementación de CTF luso-hispana, de los agentes e instituciones que la han llevado a cabo, en particular las comunidades de trabajo, y de los resultados logrados a lo largo del proceso. Entendiendo por resultados: 1) qué avances o retrocesos se han realizado en la desactivación de esta frontera secular ─es decir, se ha logrado eliminar el efecto frontera─, 2) qué obstáculos quedan pendientes y 3) cuáles son los desafíos de futuro. Las conclusiones muestran un panorama ambiguo por cuanto que se constatan grandes avances en los aspectos de infraestructura, de transporte, comunicación, intercambio y comercio; aunque todavía queden flecos pendientes y otros campos -culturales, antropológicos-sociológicos- donde los progresos son poco significativos o nulos.
