Applying a newly developed CGE-model, we present scenarios for the future economic geography of Europe. The model divides the world into ten regions, of which five are European, and there are 14 industries, of which 12 are imperfectly competitive. With a complete input-output structure, the...

This paper focuses on the location effects of preferential trade areas (PTA) on non-members. More specifically, using a CGE model calibrated to real data, it focuses on the impact of tighter European integration on outsider regions. We argue that because theoretical models analysing PTAs have...

The paper uses a full-scale CGE-model -calibrated on 1992 data- to investigate the effects of European integration on the location of industrial production. Our results reveal large differences among individual industries.

This paper analyses industrial policy in a high wage open economy hosting an agglomeration consisting of vertically linked upstream and downstram firms. We show that optimal policy towards upstream in-dustries typically di¤er from the optimal policy towards downstream industries.
