Abstract

Trade and transport flows are usually considered synonyms. Consequently, it is standard to identify the origin of a flow with the point of production and the destination with the point of consumption. However, economic and logistical complexity may lead to a number of misrepresentations in the observation of specific dyadic records. Transport mode competition and cooperation, and the “hub-spoke” structures generated by them, may introduce bias in several types of analysis. From the econometric perspective, they can be considered as an additional source for cross-sectional correlation between dyadic flows. The aim of this paper is twofold: first, to analyze transport-mode competition between inter-provincial deliveries within Spain; and, second, to analyze some of these potential biases. To this end, we use a novel dataset with 52 inter-provincial, sector-specific flows occurring via four alternative transport modes. We then feed this dataset into various specifications of a gravity model that incorporates cross-sectional dependence attributable to spatial autocorrelation and hub-spoke structures.
