Abstract

The paper measures regional GDP growth losses that a smaller market size caused by the reintroduction of legal and administrative barriers would cause. We model augmented barriers in a Keynesian framework, pointing at four effects: a border effect, stronger for regions close to borders; an exposure effect, stronger for regions open to trade; a centrality effect, affecting areas close to the economic core; a demand concentration effect, stronger for regions close to large trading partners. By estimating border effects with data on EU NUTS 3 regions and simulating a general increase in barriers among EU countries, the four regional effects clearly emerge. El artículo mide las pérdidas de crecimiento del PIB regional que causaría un tamaño de mercado más pequeño debido a la reintroducción de barreras legales y administrativas. Se modelizó un aumento de las barreras en un marco keynesiano, apuntando hacia cuatro efectos: un efecto de frontera, más fuerte para las regiones cercanas a las fronteras; un efecto de exposición, más fuerte para las regiones abiertas al comercio; un efecto de centralidad, que afecta a las áreas cercanas al núcleo económico; y un efecto de concentración de la demanda, más fuerte para las regiones cercanas a los grandes socios comerciales. Los cuatro efectos regionales emergen claramente al estimar los efectos de frontera a partir de datos sobre las regiones NUTS 3 de la UE y de simular un aumento en general de las barreras entre los países de la UE. 本稿では、法的および規制的障壁の再導入による市場規模の縮小が原因となって生じうる、地域のGDP成長の損失を計測する。障壁の増加を、ケインズ理論のフレームワークに基づいてモデル化すると、以下の4つの効果が指摘される。国境に近い地域でより強くなる「国境効果(border effect)」、開放的な貿易を行う地域でより強くなる「接触効果(exposure effect)」、経済の中心に近い地域にみられる「中心性効果(centrality effect)」、取引が多い相手が近い地域でより強くなる「需要集中効果(demand concentration effect)」。EUの第三種地域統計分類単位(NUTS 3)の地域のデータを用いて国境効果を推計し、EU加盟国間の障壁の全体的な増加をシミュレートすると、この4つの効果がはっきりと現れる。
