Shaping preferences through industrial policy: The Canary Islands in autarkic Spain
The Spanish government pursued an aggressive, decades-long, autarkic policy that effectively banned automobile imports in most of Spain between 1939 and 1986. We take advantage of the Canary Islands' unique institutional fiscal regime to evaluate the effect of this autarkic industrial policy on domestic sales of automobiles produced in Spain. The archipelago's centuries old free-port regime allowed Canarian islanders access to imports. This resulted in a very different composition of automobile sales in the Canary Islands relative to other Spanish regions. Canarians' loyalty to Spanish domestic brands only converged to those of the rest of Spain years after Spain joined the European Union, once the tariff differential across regions was phased-out. Our analysis using historical provincial automobile registration data shows that import restrictions are responsible for 33% of additional domestic sales in Spain between 1972 and 1986.
期刊介绍:
The IJIO is an international venture that aims at full coverage of theoretical and empirical questions in industrial organization. This includes classic questions of strategic behavior and market structure. The journal also seeks to publish articles dealing with technological change, internal organization of firms, regulation, antitrust and productivity analysis. We recognize the need to allow for diversity of perspectives and research styles in industrial organization and we encourage submissions in theoretical work, empirical work, and case studies. The journal will also occasionally publish symposia on topical issues.
