Impact of European Integration on Its Regions

Edited by three European editors and spanning across Europe, this excellent study focuses on the effects of the European integration process on the inter-regional division of labour in both west and east European countries.Drawing on trade theories and the new economic geography, the authors conduct an empirical analysis of the impact of European integration on the specialization of regions and the impact of regional specialization on regional income, employment and growth, concentrating in particular on: the increase in trade factor mobility competition. This book provides important empirical findings using unique data at a deep level of regional and sectoral disaggregation and using a common methodology across countries and regions and is an invaluable tool for postgraduates and researchers working and studying in the areas of international economics, international business and European Union politics.Krieger-Boden, Christiane is the author of 'Impact of European Integration on Its Regions ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780415400244 and ISBN 0415400244.
