Este artículo analiza los efectos de la progresiva implantación de un acuerdo de libre comercio entre Marruecos y la UE sobre las exportaciones de las Comunidades Autónomas (CC.AA.) españolas a ese país. Para ello, estimamos una ecuación de gravedad con datos de las CC.AA. y ramas de...

We analyse the effect due of the next FTA between Morocco and the EU on bilateral Moroccan imports. As our main contribution to the existing literature, we include in our gravity equation tariff data at the industry level. This allows to better estimate trade determinants and also makes possible...

En este trabajo hemos analizado los efectos de la progresiva implantación de un acuerdo de libre comercio entre Marruecos y la UE sobre las exportaciones de las CCAA españolas a ese país. También nos interesamos por el efecto de la inmigración marroquí en España sobre dichos intercambios...

España ha sido uno de los destinos preferidos de los emigrantes y ha registrado un claro proceso de apertura comercial. Sin embargo, en el contexto actual de fuerte desempleo, las políticas de inmigración y libre-comercio son cuestionadas. Este trabajo examina la influencia de los factores...

In this paper, we test the hypothesis of sunk exporting costs differing among markets. We use a sample of Spanish firms from Encuesta sobre Estrategias Empresariales (ESEE) for period 1991-2002. Our results confirm the importance of those sunk costs and demonstrate that they differ depending on...

We assess the impact of the phasing-out of quotas on European clothing imports within the framework of the phase-out of the Multi-Fiber Agreement and the accession of the CEEC. We use 1996 data on trade barriers for 20 categories of clothing products and 22 exporters. The estimation of a...

We test the influence of environmental regulation (ER) on the location decision of cross-border Mergers and Acquisitions (M&As) for a large sample of countries, sectors, and years using a structural gravity model. Our results confirm the pollution haven hypothesis in highly polluting sectors,...

In this paper, we investigate the nature of Spanish intra-industry trade and find that intraindustry trade with CEEC, Asian and Mediterranean countries has increased considerably since the middle of the Nineties. The second aim of the paper is to study if the comparative advantage argument also...
