Abstract

La literatura sobre geografía económica establece que el comercio exterior es un factor determinante para el desarrollo económico, que y éste a su vez está determinado por su posición geográfica. En este documento se quiere analizar cuán importantes son los costos y el tiempo de transporte de mercancías para dinamizar el comercio de bienes y servicios al resto del mundo y su efecto en las economías mediterráneas, y si la dependencia espacial juega un rol importante. Para responder a las preguntas se plantea un modelo de corte transversal con dependencia espacial para todos los países mediterráneos y no mediterráneos del mundo. Se encuentra que la condición de mediterraneidad incrementa los precios domésticos a través del encarecimiento del costo de las importaciones, y que éste se constituye en el principal perjuicio para un país mediterráneo. Este efecto se retroalimenta en la medida que más países mediterráneos compiten por los mismos accesos marítimos. La mayor apertura comercial favorece más a las exportaciones de los países con acceso al mar, generándose efectos de derramamiento (spillover effects) reflejados en una aparente concentración geográfica de mayores PIB per cápita, pero con mayor desigualdad del ingreso.
