Benefits and spillovers of greater competition in Europe: A macroeconomic assessment

Bayoumi, Tamim; Laxton, Douglas; Pesenti, Paolo - 2004

We estimate the macroeconomic benefits and international spillovers of an increase in competition using a general …-equilibrium simulation model with nominal rigidities and monopolistic competition in product and labor markets. We draw three conclusions … after calibrating the model to the euro area against the rest of the industrial world. First, greater competition produces …
