Abstract

El presente documento analiza las principales variables que explican el comportamiento del flujo comercial bilateral. Se pone especial énfasis en la mediterraneidad, una variable geográfica que caracteriza a casi el 25% de la totalidad de los países en el mundo. Mediante la construcción de un panel de datos compuesto por 10712 flujos comerciales bilaterales correspondiente a 104 países en el período 2006-2015, se contó con 107120 observaciones. A partir de dicho panel, se realizó la estimación en el marco de la ecuación de gravedad. Los resultados contaron con los signos esperados teóricamente. En el caso específico de la mediterraneidad, se encontró que los países sin litoral pierden cerca del 15% de su flujo comercial. La causa de esa pérdida puede encontrarse en lo que Adam Smith denominó “travesías de frontera” que incrementan el costo de transporte de los bienes transados. Finalmente, en un estudio específico sobre Bolivia, un país enclaustrado y no mediterráneo, se calculó que, en el período analizado, la pérdida debido al enclaustramiento representó, en promedio, el 11.7% de su Producto Interno Bruto.
