Iberian Major Regions Interregional Trade Across The Border

Summary/Abstract: Trade flows that one region establishes with other regions in the same country are very rarely analyzed in the economic literature. Even less frequently are the trade relations wuth other regions in a neighbor country. Based on previous estimates of interregional trade within the Iberian Peninsula, this paper analyzes the trade patterns of the four major trading regions:Madrid, Cataluna, Comunidad Valenciana and Lisboa e Vale do Tejo. Similarities among them are identified. A sector analysis is performed showing high level of concentration. Confirming the literature, a strong border effect is identified.
