This article aims to analyse the determinants of transport costs and to investigate their influence in
international trade with a sample of disaggregate trade data. First, we estimate a transport-cost function
using cross-section data on maritime and overland transport for four sectors: agro-industry, ceramic tiles,
motor vehicle parts and accessories, and electrical and mechanical household appliances, obtained from
interviews held with Spanish exporters and logistics operators in 2001.
Second, we study the relationship between transport costs and trade and estimate the elasticity of trade
with respect to transport costs for each sector. Important differences for high value- and low value-added
sectors are observed. The trade-equation estimation shows that higher transport
costs significantly deter trade, especially in high value-added sectors. [-]
