EU eastern enlargement: The benefits from integration and free labour movement

Abstract

"This paper analyses the effects of integrating the new member states from Central and Eastern Europe in the goods and factor markets of the EU during the first seven years of the EU's eastern enlargement. We address the effects of trade and migration in a joint framework, since we believe that a separate analysis does not make sense due to the many interactions between goods and labour markets."
