"European and Euro-Mediterranean Agreements: some simulation analyses on the effects of the EU trade policy"
by Alessandri, Piergiorgio


Abstract
The paper deals with the long-run effects of several important trade policy initiatives implemented by the EU in the last decades: the European Agreements, the Euro-Mediterranean Agreements and the customs union with Turkey. A 10 x10 aggregation of the GTAP database (version 4) i s used. On average, the liberalisation of manufacturing industries turns out to be welfare creating for the subscribers and slightly damaging for the world economy; by opening its agricultural markets, the EU would improve these results. Income distribution inside the involved areas is only weakly affected by integration; with regard to the EU, returns to capital and wages - both for skilled and unskilled labour - tend to appreciate in real terms.
