摘要

我们创建了一个关于欧洲河网和欧洲国家之间贸易路线崎岖程度的新数据集,并将这些新指标整合到最近开发的结构重力模型中。此外,我们提出了一种新的方法来区分同期和历史贸易成本。应用两阶段结构重力估计,我们通过结合全球、欧洲和国内贸易数据来评估地形对贸易的影响。虽然边界效应估计在很大程度上仍然稳健,但通常归因于不连续性的历史和同期贸易成本的主要部分可以通过地形来解释。最后,反事实模拟表明,河流对贸易的积极影响不如山脉的负面影响重要。

Topography, borders, and trade across Europe

We create a novel data set on the European river network and for the ruggedness of trade routes between European countries and integrate these new indicators into recently developed structural gravity models. Moreover, we propose a new approach how to differentiate between contemporaneous and historical trade costs. Applying two-stage structural gravity estimations, we assess the impact of topography on trade by combining worldwide, European, and domestic trade data. While border effect estimates remain largely robust, a main part of the historical and contemporaneous trade costs usually attributed to non-contiguity can be accounted for by topography. Finally, counterfactual simulations suggest that positive effects of rivers on trade are less important than negative effects of mountains.

期刊介绍: The mission of the Journal of Comparative Economics is to lead the new orientations of research in comparative economics. Before 1989, the core of comparative economics was the comparison of economic systems with in particular the economic analysis of socialism in its different forms. In the last fifteen years, the main focus of interest of comparative economists has been the transition from socialism to capitalism.
