Abstract

This paper analyses the influence of economic remoteness in the explanation of per capita GDP disparities across Spanish provinces. In order to do so, we regress provincial per capita GDP on market access and a set of control variables using OLS and IV estimates. The results of our estimations show that market access is statistically significant and quantitatively important in the explanation of the spatial income structure observed across the Spanish provinces. Our results also show that there are at least three channels through which market access might be affecting Spanish per capita GDP figures: human capital, productive capital and the size of R&D activities.// En este artículo se analiza la influencia de la “perificidad económica” en la explicación de las disparidades del PIB per capita entre las provincias españolas. Para ello, regresamos los PIB per capita provinciales en función del potencial de mercado y un conjunto de variables de control, tanto por medio de MCO como mediante variables instrumentales. Los resultados de nuestras estimaciones muestran que el potencial de mercado es estadísticamente significativo y cuantitativamente importante en la explicación de la estructura espacial del ingreso observada en las provincias españolas. Nuestros resultados también muestran que hay al menos tres canales por los cuales el acceso al mercado puede estar afectando las cifras del PIB per capita en España: el capital humano, el capital productivo y la magnitud de las actividades de ID.
