We use a quantitative model to study the implications of European integration for welfare and migration flows across 1 …,318 regions. The model suggests that an increase of trade barriers to the level of 1957 reduces welfare by about 1-2 percent on … average, depending on the presumed trade elasticity.

We build a model of tacit collusion between firms that operate in multiple markets to study the effects of trade costs … strategically linked via the incentive compatibility constraint. Importantly, trade costs affect cartel shipments and welfare not … only directly but also indirectly through discipline. Using extensive data on international cartels, we find that trade …
