This paper provides an overview of cross-border shopping by discussing the factors contributing to its increase, by describing the geographic scope of the phenomenon, and by examining regional economic effects of the outshopping trend. It focuses upon outshopping from the Golden Horseshoe area of Ontario to western New York. It presents the results of a survey conducted in the Golden Horseshoe. The paper concludes with a discussion of some of the Canadian proposals to curb cross-border shopping.
This paper analyzes the choice by Canadian consumers whether to cross the border into the U.S. to shop. To do so a model is built in which consumers value two consumption goods (goods that can and cannot be smuggled), leisure, and government services (provided through commodity taxes). The model's predictions are tested against same-day border crossing data for the period 1972:01 through 1997:12. The results are then used to estimate the tax revenues forgone from the introduction of the GST in Canada. The data also suggest an extension in our thinking about the traditional domain of policy responses - from the sue of alternative taxes to institutional and/or regulatory change.
Borders represent an intriguing paradox as globalization continues to leap barriers at a vigorous pace, merging economies and cultures through world trade, economic integration, the mass media, the Internet, and increasingly mobile populations. At the same time, the political boundaries separating peoples remain pervasive and problematic. Borders and Border Politics in a Globalizing World offers a carefully selected group of readings to enhance student understanding of the complexities of border regions. The reader brings together key writings on the histories of borders, their social development, their politics, and the daily life that characterizes them. The authors place their analyses of these issues in an international context, stressing how borders influence, and how they are influenced by, global processes. The selections provide a window on our current understanding of human interactions at and along national and interethnic boundaries, interactions that will characterize borders and border politics for decades to come. Drawing on a worldwide set of case studies, this text divides border issues into seven thematic categories: borders as barriers; borders, migrants, and refugees; borders and partitioned groups; borders, perceptions and culture; borders and the environment; borders, goods, and services; and maritime and space borders. An excellent text for courses on boundaries, ethnicity, and international relations, this collection of cutting-edge information and analysis on borders and border politics in the context of ongoing globalization will shed light both upon international and subnational boundaries and upon the unfolding processes of globalization.
