Martínez-Galán, Enrique; Fontoura, Maria-Paula; … - EconWPA - 2005

This paper aims to evaluate the trade potential of manufactured products between the members of the EU25 in the threshold of its Eastern enlargement. We estimate, for 2002, a cross-section gravity model, whose coefficients will be used to project the “natural” trade relations between them....

Regional Integration, Trade, and Migration: Are Demand Linkages Relevant in Europe?

Ludema, Rodney D.; Wooton, Ian - EconWPA - 1998

We examine the consequences of increased economic integration between nations within a region. We adopt Krugman’s economic-geography model in which demand linkages can generate agglomeration of manufacturing activity. Manufacturing labour is assumed to be imperfectly mobile between countries....
