| Description | The aim of this contribution is to determine whether the conflict in Catalonia in some way influences the region’s trade relations with the rest of Spain. Empirical analysis based on gravity model approach indicates that trade and intrastate conflict in Catalonia are related. Catalan exports to the rest of Spain are negatively associated with past values of conflict in the region. Testing for endogeneity shows that there is a reciprocal relationship between conflict and trade. Nevertheless, the 2SLS estimator shows very similar results to the Poisson’s as well as the FE estimators. |
