The impact of EU enlargement on European border regions
by Annekatrin Niebuhr
International Journal of Public Policy (IJPP), Vol. 3, No. 3/4, 2008

Abstract: The enlargement of the EU is supposed to have a profound impact on the location of economic activities in Europe. Although there is concern about the implications of enlargement for regional disparities in the EU, the corresponding empirical results are still rare. The objective of this analysis is to provide evidence on enlargement effects with special focus on border regions in the EU27, since they are likely to play a critical role within the spatial dynamics initiated by integration. Departing from a three-region economic geographical model we investigate whether changes in market access caused by integration result in above-average integration benefits in border regions.
