Domino Effects in Western European Trade, 1960-92

No 1576, CEPR Discussion Papers from C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers

Abstract: This paper uses a standard gravity equation to test the hypothesis of domino effects in Western Europe. The question being addressed is whether increased integration within the EC has impacted negatively on non-members and thereby prompted their application for EC membership. The paper finds that the EC’s Internal Market programme may have caused such an effect on EFTA member countries.
