This paper identifies a “border” effect in the absence of a border. The finding that trade between East- and West …-Japan is 23.1 to 51.3 percent lower than trade within both country parts, is established despite the absence of an obvious east …-lasting historical shocks, are identified as an explanation for the east-west bias in intra-Japanese trade. …

This paper analyses the effect of international borders and of trade agreements at international borders on subnational … 1950 and 2017. Our results show that international borders decrease regional income per capita, while trade agreements at … international borders increase regional income per capita by about the same magnitude.
