Produktbeschreibung

Much recent research has been devoted to the consequences of the completion of the European internal market in 1992. Existing estimates of the effects of market integration remain exploratory, however, and many important issues have yet to be adequately addressed. These are the issues concerning this book. Edited by L. Alan Winters and Anthony Venables, the volume examines such questions as the extent of gains to be expected from both 'internal' and 'external' economies of scale following integration, the implications of 1992 for the European Community's trade with its traditional EFTA partners, the potentially valuable new East European markets, and the rest of the world. There are also chapters considering the implications of the internal market for the design of appropriate technology and taxation policies, and a study of the role of Japanese foreign direct investment in European manufacturing.

Table of contents:
1. Completing the internal market in the European Community: factor demands and comparative advantage Michael Gasiorek, Alasdair Smith and Antony Venables; 2. External effects and Europe's integration Riccardo Caballero and Richard Lyons; 3. The multifibre agreement and the quality of production of textiles and clothing Riccardo Faini and Alberto Heimler; 4. The discipline of imports in the European market Alexis Jacquemin and Andre Sapir; 5. European and EC integration Damien Neven and Lars-Hendrik Roller; 6. 1992 and EFTA Victor Norman; 7. Technology policy in the completed European market David Ulph; 8. Corporation tax and foreign direct investment Michael Keen; 9. Japanese investment in manufacturing in Europe Stefano Micosso and Gianfranco Viesti.

This volume from the Centre for Economic Policy Research is an important contribution to our understanding of the effects of the completion of the European internal market in 1992.
