Abstract: Gil-Pareja S., Llorca-Vivero R. and Martínez-Serrano J. A. (2006) The border effect in Spain: the Basque Country case, Regional Studies 40, 335--345. This paper investigates the border effect on the Basque Country's trade, using a sample of 28 Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries between 1995 and 2001. The results indicate that after controlling for market size and distance, the Basque Country trades between 12 and 16 times more with the rest of Spain than it does with any other country. The Spanish bias is lower in the case of the Basque Country's exports than in the case of imports. With respect to the time evolution, the results show a downward trend. The analysis by trading partners reveals important differences even in the context of European Union countries.
