Resumen de Did British and German Trade Regionalisation Trigger Commodity-Market Disintegration during the Interwar Years?: Empirical Evidence from the Scandinavian Countries
In this article the impact of the interwar disintegration in Scandinavia is examined. The subject is approached by an analysis of the regionalisation policies of Germany and the UK and foreign trade, and relative commodity market prices, in Scandinavia. The empirical evidence shows that the British trade policies had a stronger and more negative impact in Denmark than in Sweden and Norway, where trade was encouraged. However, all Scandinavian countries experienced increasing relative commodity market prices, and thus followed the general pattern of market disintegration.
