International handbook on the economics of integration : factor mobility, agriculture, environment and quantitative studies / Miroslav N Jovanovic

Vol. III factor mobility, agriculture, environment and quantitative studies

The book covers three broad themes: factor mobility (transnational corporations and labour migration); agriculture and environment; and quantitative studies of integration effects. A removal of barriers for the mobility of factors in certain integration arrangements among countries has an impact on the mobility of capital, firms and individuals within the group. Various aspects of this factor mobility are analysed in eight detailed chapters. The second theme of the book is devoted to agriculture and environment. This is of great global relevance as the Common Agricultural Policy has been a bone of contention in international relations over several decades. Finally, seven quantitative studies of the effects of integration attempt to measure various potential benefits of regional integration efforts.
