Abstract

A regionális kereskedelmi megállapodások száma az elmúlt évtizedek során folyamatosan emelkedett, ugyanakkor a létrejöttüket befolyásoló tényezők vizsgálata csak kevéssé kutatott terület. A cikk célja a gravitációs modell újszerű alkalmazásával azonosítani a regionális kereskedelmi megállapodások mögött meghúzódó tényezőket. A számítások alapjául szolgáló adatbázisban 229 országpár adatait elemezzük közel ötvenezres elemszámú mintán. A szakirodalom feltevései szerint a regionális kereskedelmi egyezmények motorja a közös múlt, valamint a földrajzi és kulturális távolság, de ezeket eredményeink csak részben támasztják alá. Számításaink szerint ugyanis a korábbi gyarmati kapcsolatokon alapuló változók hatása a megállapodások létrejöttére nem egyértelmű, a közös nyelv használata ugyanakkor negatív hatással van az egyezmények aláírására, azaz a nem azonos nyelvet beszélő országok intenzívebb kereskedelmet folytatnak egymással. A távolság szerepe egyértelmű: minél távolabb helyezkedik el egymástól két ország, annál kevesebb kereskedelmi megállapodás született közöttük. Végül a földrajzi árujelzők vizsgálata azt mutatta, hogy az eredetvédelem nem játszik meghatározó szerepet a regionális kereskedelmi megállapodások létrejöttében.* Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) kód: F13, F14.
