Economic Integration and Growth in Europe

by A.J. Marques Mendes

Overview

Economic Integration and Growth in Europe (1987) is an in-depth study of the economic effects of integration and an analysis of economic growth in the EEC. It develops an alternative framework to the conventional Customs Union approach to the theory of economic integration and uses this new framework to measure the effects of the European experience of economic integration. The main conclusions are that integration has had a large effect on trade and that the benefits of integration have mainly arisen from export growth.
