“An Economic Assessment of the Accession of the Central and Eastern European Countries to the EU Single Market”
In 2004 the European Union is due to incorporate 10 new members, mostly from the Central and Eastern European Countries (CECs). Trade between the EU and CECs currently falls well short of that between EU countries, and if we assume this pattern reflects both tariffs and a resource cost due to regulatory differences, then 1997 trade patterns would imply such costs are 7-15% on trade between the ...

The North consolidates its current hub position by attracting more firms and skilled workers. Thus its net exports of high scale economy, skill-intensive go...

As the EU will be forced to reduce import barriers from the World market, price levels will decline, but probably b...

This paper argues that the most striking process of convergence, if a partial one, has actually occurred between South and East...
