The analysis is based on three … strong home bias around the time of disintegration, with intra-union trade exceeding normal trade approximately 43 times in … fall in trade intensity.

The objectives of this paper are to study the impact of liberalisation on trade deficits and current accounts of … developing countries. It is expected that trade liberalisation would promote economic growth from the supply side by leading to a … national boundaries. Trade liberalisation could lead to faster import growth than export growth and hence the supply side …
