Ítem Globalization versus Regionalization in Agri-Food Exports from Spain and Portugal(MPDI, 2024-06-19) Moral-Pajares, Encarnación; Zozaya-Montes, María; Gallego-Valero, LeticiaSpain and Portugal, two countries located in southern Europe, share a significant export specialization in agricultural and agri-food products compared to the EU-27 as a whole. Based on arguments drawn from the literature and information provided by Eurostat, this paper first identifies the characteristics of the dynamics of sales of agri-food products in the international market for the two Iberian Peninsula economies between 2008 and 2022, a period marked by the introduction of restrictions on foreign trade flows worldwide. Secondly, using panel data methodology, it examines how imports by EU-27 partners influence this trajectory. The results confirm the strengthening of export specialization in these two countries, which sell a wide variety of agri-food products in international markets. Additionally, in the case of Spain, the estimated concentration indices show a spatial diversification process towards new destinations. In both economies, however, the EU-27 market, characterized by strong competition and low development expectations, continues to influence export trends in the short and medium terms. Consequently, institutions and companies in the sector must adopt a more dynamic approach and implement actions aimed at facilitating access to new export destinations and consolidating business there. Thus, an increasing share of their exports should be reoriented towards markets with higher demand growth, helping to reinforce the global competitiveness of the national agri-food sector. This research contributes to the scientific literature on the medium- and long-term effects of economic integration processes on the exports of agri-food products of member countries.Ítem The Andalusian olive oil sector with differentiated quality(Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, 2024-12-30) García-Moral, Ana; De Loma-Ossorio Mata, Juan; Gallego Valero, Leticia; Moral-Pajares, EncarnaciónAndalusia is the origin of 69.54 % of the olive oil with Protected Designation of Origin (EVOO-DOP) obtained in Spain in 2021. The value per kilogram of this vegetable fat with differentiated quality presents, however, a high dispersion depending on the geographical location of the territory in which it is produced. Using the QCA methodology, this document analyzes how the age of the PDO, the orientation of its production towards international markets or the predominance of cooperative entities among the companies registered in it can condition the value at origin of the productÍtem Transparency Index of the Supplying Countries’ Institutions and Tree Cover Loss: Determining Factors of EU Timber Imports?(MPDI, 2020-09-19) Moral-Pajares, Encarnación; Martínez-Alcalá, Concepción; Gallego-Valero, Leticia; Caviedes-Conde, Ángela AndreaIllegal logging and the associated deforestation have serious consequences for biodiversity, the climate, the economy and society. The EU Timber Regulation (EUTR) prohibits the placing of illegally harvested timber or timber products on the market. The objective of this paper is to analyse the recent evolution of EU imports of these products from the international market, in order to check how the transparency index of the supplying countries’ institutions and tree cover loss have influenced this trajectory. To that end, a panel data model is estimated with 228 observations from 38 exporting countries between 2012 and 2017. The results show that EU timber imports have a direct association with the transparency index and an inverse relationship with tree cover loss; both these relationships are highly significant at the one-percent level. Other significant factors are the performance of the EU construction sector (as a proxy for timber demand) and timber supply. In the short and medium-term, Voluntary Partnership Agreements (VPAs) signed between the EU and non-EU timber-producing countries have a negative influence on the supply to EU member states. This study presents an analysis of EU timber imports after the implementation of the EUTR, providing specific conclusions that can inform policymakers’ efforts to foster sustainable forest management.
