Abstract: The aim of this study is to understand how spatial effects influence maritime connectivity. We use a spatial econometric model on panel data for a sample of 114 countries over the period 2004-2017. The results show that there are positive interaction effects that describe a center-periphery relation. We focus specifically on two regions: Northern Europe and the Mediterranean. The results for these two regions indicate substantial differences. In Northern Europe, there is a significant positive spatial dependence with positive spillover effects. Conversely, the Mediterranean region is characterized by a negative spatial dependence, leading to strong competition between countries.
