Can free trade help convert the ‘Arab Spring’ into permanent peace and democracy? / Gylfason, Thorvaldur; Martinez-Zarzoso, Inmaculada ; Wijkman, Per Magnus   Article
Martinez-Zarzoso, Inmaculada Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Using a panel gravity model of trade for the period 1995–2010, this paper estimates the potential for increased intra-regional trade among 10 countries of the southern and eastern Mediterranean coast. It examines how closer integration through the EU’s revised neighborhood policy can encourage democratisation and conflict resolution. The main results indicate that while the gains realized to date from regional integration have been small, significant potential gains from deep integration exist. The paper proposes that the EU starts by negotiating deep and comprehensive free trade agreements with Egypt, Israel and Jordan provided these countries also negotiate them with each other.

Price of modern maritime piracy / Martinez-Zarzoso, Inmaculada; Bensassi, Sami   Journal Article
Martinez-Zarzoso, Inmaculada Journal Article

Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract A growing body of literature has recently focused on the economic origins and consequences of modern maritime piracy and on the perception that the international community has failed to control it. This paper aims to investigate maritime transport costs as one of the channels through which modern maritime piracy could have a major impact on the global economy. A transport-cost equation is estimated using a newly released data-set on maritime transport costs from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development together with data on maritime piracy from the International Maritime Bureau. Our results show that maritime piracy significantly increases trade costs between Europe and Asia.
