边界对贸易影响的根源是什么?为什么在经济一体化日益加强的时期,边界仍然很重要?我们探讨的假设,边界效应出现的不对称的经济一体化的结果,在独特的历史背景下的多民族哈布斯堡帝国在第一次世界大战之前。虽然主要由于基础设施的改善,市场趋于一体化,但民族语言网络具有持续的贸易转移效应。我们发现,从19世纪80年代中期开始,即第一次世界大战前25-30年,帝国继承国之间的政治边界在经济上变得清晰可见。这种“边界前的边界”的影响不能用行政障碍、自然地理、基础设施的变化或与哈布斯堡关税和货币联盟以外的邻近地区的一体化模式等因素来解释。然而,控制了帝国各地区首府城市人口的民族语言构成的变化,确实解释了大部分估计的边界效应。
What are the origins of border effects on trade and why do borders continue to matter in periods of increasing economic integration? We explore the hypothesis that border effects emerged as a result of asymmetric economic integration in the unique historical setting of the multi-national Habsburg Empire prior to the First World War. While markets tended to integrate mainly due to improved infrastructure, ethno-linguistic networks had persistent trade diverting effects. We find that the political borders which separated the empire's successor states after the First World War became visible in the economy from the mid-1880s onwards, already 25–30 years before the First World War. This effect of a ‘border before a border’ cannot be explained by factors such as administrative barriers, physical geography, changes in infrastructure or patterns of integration with neighbouring regions outside of the Habsburg customs and monetary union. However, controlling for the changing ethno-linguistic composition of the population across the regional capital cities of the empire does explain most of the estimated border effects.
