Measuring border effects in European cross-border regions
提出一种新方法，从供给侧测量边界对生产系统的两种限制：资源利用低效和资源禀赋不足，并应用于欧盟跨境合作区域，发现低效问题更突出。
This paper presents a new methodology to measure border effects from a different perspective with respect to the standard gravitational approach. The methodology proposed measures supply-side border effects by identifying two types of limits produced by the border to the productive system: inefficiency in exploiting local resources (efficiency needs) and scarce endowment of resources (endowment needs), the former calling for intervention on resource governance, the latter requiring new investment. The methodology, applied to the European Union’s Cross Border Cooperation Program regions, suggests a stronger presence of efficiency needs with respect to endowment ones.
