Abstract: Nelson A. J. and Zolnik E. J. Regional effects of trade on income, Regional Studies . Estimating the effects of trade on growth solely from an international perspective runs the risk of ignoring underlying spatial patterns in interregional trade. In this study, spatial variation in international trade patterns is explored by using both a cross-section and a panel of data that include region-specific estimates of the effect of trade on income. Results suggest that the effects of trade on income vary significantly by region. Overall, the robustness of geographic variables to explain the effects of trade on income improves greatly when the focus of analysis shifts from international trade to interregional trade.
