SPATIAL STRUCTURES IN INTERNATIONAL TRADE: AN ANALYSIS OF LONG TERM DEVELOPMENTS

Karin Peschel

Papers in Regional Science, 1985, vol. 58, issue 1, 97-111

Abstract: ABSTRACT In this paper various results of empirical investigations into the spatial structures of trade between Western European and North American countries since the beginning of this century are presented. A new approach to measure the intensity of integration and to identify integration areas of different degrees is suggested. In for an explanation of the most important result, namely the persistence of the spatial structure of normalised trade flows, the impact of distance and of some other quantitative and classificatory variables was tested in a log‐linear trade model. The tests substantiated the importance of various distance factors.
