Bilateral shipping and trade : Swedish-Finnish experiences in the post-war period / Bilateral handel och sjöfart : Svensk-finska erfarenheter under efterkrigstiden

Andersson, Lars Fredrik January 2005 (has links)
This thesis explores the bilateral shipping and trade between Finland and Sweden during the post-war period. It comprises five articles and one introductory chapter for which the common point of departure is the growth and transformation of bilateral trade and shipping. The first two articles analyse the structural change of bilateral trade from a national and regional perspective. The three following articles provide an overview and analysis of the ferry shipping. By integrating the perspective in these articles in the introductory chapter and by providing a long historical record, the change of economic relations between Finland and Sweden in the post-war period is discerned. This thesis applies an economic historical approach and is founded on various fields of social science. The issue of trade is analysed within the framework of conventional and new trade theory, and the analysis of ferry shipping is governed by economic and geographic theories. The studies on trade shows that the transformation of production seen in Finland and Sweden meant that the trade increasingly became dependent on an exchange of products arising from matching industries. In turn the foreign trade arising from the Northern part of Finland and Sweden was still dominated by so called inter-industry trade. In addition to these results, the studies of ferry services shows that the growth of vehicles and passengers conveyance, together with the expanded onboard services, also intensified the commercial exchange. Due of the multi-output structure, the ferry service efficiently met the growing demand of travel and trade. The main conclusion of this thesis is that the convergence of incomes and economic structure had a significant impact on bilateral trade and ferry shipping. In addition the process of economic integration, technological advances together with specific policies issued on shipping also contributed to strengthen the economic ties between Finland and Sweden.

Essays in international and interstate economy / Ensaios em economia internacional e interestadual

Eleydiane Maria Gomes Vale 24 October 2014 (has links)
nÃo hà / Teorias em Economia Internacional sÃo desenvolvidas e testadas empiricamente, esta tese pretende contribuir com algumas delas. Inicialmente, dever-se-à abordar a chamada teoria de Cones de DiversificaÃÃo. Para tanto, o primeiro capÃtulo propÃe-se a separar em dois cones os estados do Brasil que apresentam semelhanÃas nas dotaÃÃes de fatores. Isto serà realizado atravÃs de um modelo economÃtrico SUR para dezoito indÃstrias de transformaÃÃo e duas amostras anuais, em 1997 e 2007. DiferenÃas salariais entre os cones tambÃm serÃo medidas com a mesma metodologia. A teoria de cones de diversificaÃÃo à revalidada uma vez que existe diferenciaÃÃo horizontal entre os produtos. O segundo capÃtulo elabora um modelo economÃtrico que delineia os efeitos da abertura comercial sobre os salÃrios dos trabalhadores pouco e altamente qualificados. Utilizou-se o arcabouÃo teÃrico da equaÃÃo minceriana para incorporar caracterÃsticas dos trabalhadores. Este trabalho objetiva analisar se, dada maior abertura comercial, bem como outros fatores relevantes, tais quais; experiÃncia, anos de estudo, intensidade tecnolÃgica do setor ao qual se emprega e quantidade de horas trabalhadas, houve aumento da renda do trabalhador industrial dos estados do Nordeste do Brasil para os anos da amostra. Adicionalmente, uma dummy à inserida no modelo com o objetivo de diferenciar os trabalhadores empregados nos setores de alta e baixa tecnologia. Encontram-se evidÃncias de que volume de exportaÃÃes, horas de trabalho, anos de estudo e experiÃncia impactaram positivamente no retorno do trabalhador. Maior abertura comercial apresenta grande influÃncia positiva sobre os salÃrios dos trabalhadores das indÃstrias analisadas. O Ãltimo capÃtulo apresenta um modelo gravitacional que serà aplicado a fim de estudar os determinantes do fluxo comercial entre o Estado do Cearà e os demais estados brasileiros. Este capÃtulo dirigiu sua atenÃÃo aos fatores que influenciam o fluxo de comÃrcio do Estado do Cearà para os demais estados do Brasil. Entre estes fatores, apontou-se inicialmente o espaÃo que separa os centros produtivos como um fator que atua influenciando negativamente o comÃrcio. Ainda, analisou-se o impacto das variÃveis Produto Interno Bruto e tamanho populacional, encontra-se que ambas exercem impacto positivo para o fluxo comercial. / Theories in International Trade are developed and empirically tested. This thesis aims to contribute with some of them. Initially, it will address the so-called Theory of Diversification Cones. Thus, the first chapter proposes to separate Brazilian states into two cones which have similarities in factor endowments. This will be accomplished through an SUR econometric model with eighteen manufacturing industries and two annual samples, in 1997 and 2007. Wage differences between the cones will also be measured with the same methodology. The Theory of Diversifiation Cones is renewed since there is horizontal differentiation between products. The second chapter develops an econometric model that outlines the effects of trade liberalization on wages of low and high-skilled workers. We used the theoretical framework of the Mincerian equation to incorporate characteristics of workers. This study aims to examine whether, given greater trade openness as well as other relevant factors, such that; experience, years of education, technological intensity of the sector to which it is used and the amount of hours worked, an increase in income of the industrial worker in the states of Northeast Brazil for the years of the sample. In addition, a dummy is inserted into the model with the aim to differentiate the workers employed in low and high-tech industries. There are evidences that export volume, hours, years of study and experience have a positive impact on the worker's return. Greater trade openness has a large positive influence on the wages of workers in industries analyzed. The final chapter presents a gravity model which will be applied for the purpose of studying the determinants of trade flows between the State of Cearà and other Brazilian states. This chapter turned its attention to the factors that influence the trade flow in the State of Cearà in other states of Brazil. Among these factors, the separation between the production centers was initially pointed as a factor that acts negatively influencing trade. The impact of the variables GDP and population size was also analyzed, and it was expected that both of them exert positive impact on trade flows.

Was used only the model of cross section data. The results show that Mercosur obtained the largest increases in trade among all regional integration schemes relevant to member countries, which highlights its importance for the members. When considering the analysis of the sectors, only agriculture had significant value, showing that the products were still predominant in this sector in the export of the Mercosur countries to all countries in the sample both in 1994, as in 2009. The analysis of dummy variables for the member countries showed that, even if the impact of the block was not uniform, the formation of MERCOSUR has had a significant effect on the pattern of exports of all its members, therefore, generally all of them experienced a significant increase in intrabloc exports during the period analyzed. With emphasis on the Paraguayan economy, that showed be strongly dependent on intraregional trade. / Esta dissertação procura analisar os efeitos da constituição do MERCOSUL nos fluxos de comércio dos países-membros, utilizando um modelo gravitacional estendido, que inclui variáveis dummy para o MERCOSUL, para UE e NAFTA (por serem blocos econômicos importantes), para os setores da economia e para cada país-membro. Foi utilizado apenas o modelo de dados seccionais (cross section). Os resultados mostram que o MERCOSUL obteve os maiores aumentos de comércio entre todos os esquemas de integração regionais relevantes para os países-membros, o que ressalta sua importância para os membros. Quando considerada a análise dos setores, apenas agricultura teve valor expressivo, mostrando que os produtos deste setor ainda foram predominantes na pauta de exportação dos países do MERCOSUL para todos os países da amostra tanto em 1994 quanto em 2009. A análise das variáveis dummy para os países-membros mostrou que, mesmo que o impacto do bloco não se tenha feito de maneira uniforme, a constituição do MERCOSUL surtiu efeitos significativos sobre o padrão de exportações de todos os seus integrantes, pois, de modo geral, todos eles experimentaram um aumento significativo das suas exportações intrabloco durante o período analisado. Com destaque para a economia paraguaia, que se mostrou fortemente dependente do comércio intrarregional.

O impacto da crise financeira de 2008 sobre as exportações paranaenses: uma aplicação do modelo gravital / The impact of the 2008 financial crisis on Paraná s exports: an application of the gravity model

Silva, Geisiane Michelle da 19 February 2014 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2017-07-10T18:33:12Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Geisiane Michelle da Silva.pdf: 3135139 bytes, checksum: 688c1dbb2e24b451eb5e78690ab0a5c3 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-02-19 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of the 2008 financial crisis on Paraná´s exports through Gravity Model. The Gravity Equation estimated used as the dependent variable the exports of Paraná and as independent variables the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and population of the state, GDP and population of importers countries of products from Paraná, the distance in kilometers between the state´s capital and the capital of the importer country, commodities prices in the international market, the area of importers countries and the dummies crisis, China, NAFTA, European Union and MERCOSUR. The Equation was estimated using panel data models by Pooled, Fixed Effects and Random Effects. The tests of Chow, Hausman and Breusch-Pagan LM indicated that the best model to be analyzed is the Random Effects. The tests of Breusch -Pagan and Wooldridge indicated, respectively, the presence of heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation. Thus, the Random Effects model was estimated with heteroscedasticity correction, with correction for autocorrelation and both fixes. According to the Equation estimated by the Random Effects model with heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation correction, the variables GDP and population of Paraná, GDP and population of importers countries and commodities prices were statistically significant and their coefficients showed, with the exception of the Paraná´s GDP, a positive relationship with the Paraná´s exports. The variables distance and area of importers countries were statistically insignificant and their coefficients showed an inverse relationship with exports of Paraná. The dummies China, NAFTA, European Union and MERCOSUR were statistically insignificant. Their coefficients showed a positive relationship between the Paraná´s exports and China and MERCOSUR and negative with NAFTA and the European Union. The dummy crisis was statistically significant, indicating that reduction in demand caused by the global financial crisis led to a reduction of 11,68% in Paraná´s exports. However, between 2008 and 2009, the Paraná´s exports fell by 26,3%. Thus, the occurrence of crisis partially explained the drop in exports of Paraná between 2008 and 2009. This can be explained by non-tariff barriers imposed by countries in response to the financial crisis. / O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o impacto da crise financeira de 2008 nas exportações do Paraná através do Modelo Gravitacional. A Equação Gravitacional estimada utilizou como variável dependente as exportações do Paraná e como variáveis independentes o Produto Interno Bruto (PIB) e a população do estado, o PIB e a população dos países importadores de produtos paranaenses, a distância em quilômetros entre a capital do estado e a capital do país importador, o preço das commodities no mercado internacional, a área dos países importadores e as dummies crise, China, NAFTA, União Europeia e MERCOSUL. A Equação foi estimada por meio de dados em painel pelos modelos Pooled, de Efeitos Fixos e de Efeitos Aleatórios. Os testes de Chow, Hausman e LM de Breusch-Pagan indicaram que o melhor modelo a ser analisado é o de Efeitos Aleatórios. Os testes de Breusch-Pagan e de Wooldridge indicaram, respectivamente, a presença de heterocedasticidade e de autocorrelação. Assim, o modelo de Efeitos Aleatórios foi estimado com correção de heterocedasticidade, com correção de autocorrelação e com ambas as correções. De acordo com a Equação estimada pelo modelo de Efeitos Aleatórios com correção de heterocedasticidade e autocorrelação, as variáveis PIB e população paranaense, PIB e população dos países importadores e preço das commodities foram estatisticamente significativas e seus coeficientes indicaram, com exceção do PIB do Paraná, relação positiva com as exportações paranaenses. As variáveis distância e área dos países importadores foram estatisticamente insignificantes e seus coeficientes mostraram uma relação inversa com as exportações do Paraná. As dummies China, NAFTA, União Europeia e MERCOSUL foram estatisticamente insignificantes. Seus coeficientes indicaram relação positiva entre as exportações paranaenses e a China e o MERCOSUL e negativa com o NAFTA e a União Europeia. A dummy crise foi estatisticamente significativa, indicando que redução da demanda global ocasionada pela crise financeira acarretou redução de 11,68% nas exportações paranaenses. Entretanto, entre 2008 e 2009, as exportações paranaenses apresentaram queda de 26,3%. Assim, a ocorrência da crise explicou parcialmente a queda das exportações do Paraná entre 2008 e 2009. Isto pode ser justificado pelas barreiras não tarifárias impostas pelos países em resposta à crise financeira.
