If preferences are the same across countries, the price elasticity of export demand must also be equal to the Armington trade elasticity [see Keuschnigg and Kohler (1996a,b)].…”

“…Two years later, following the Helsinki summit of 1999, negotiations were extended to the remaining applicant countries from CEE, plus Malta and Cyprus. 1 The prime purpose of these negotiations is to assure a complete adoption of all existing Union legislation (acquis communautaire) by future member countries. But taking in as many as 12 new members requires significant change also on the part of the Union itself.…”

Abstract: Eastern enlargement of the EU promises gains, but also imposes fiscal costs on incumbent countries. A sensitive issue concerns immigration, jobs and wages. We address these issues in a general equilibrium framework, both analytically and through numerical simulations. Analytical results identify capital accumulation as a prime transmission channel. Using a dynamic CGE model with search unemployment of high-and low-skilled labor, we simulate the effects of enlargement on Germany finding small effects from trade, but more pronounced labor market effects from migration. Based on German model elasticities, we approximate expected benefits and costs for other member countries as well. Terms of use: Documents in EconStor may

“…Courchene et al (1993) derive estimates for the structural funds receipts of the candidate countries by using a simple extrapolation of the budget receipts of the poorest incumbent countries. Other studies, like Brenton and Gros (1993), Anderson and Tyers (1995), Jackson and Swinnen (1994), and Tangermann (1996), make specific predictions for the costs of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) due to the eastern enlargement. All of these studies assume that the budget shares derive from the recipients' needs and contributors' solidarity.…”

In this paper, we argue that the bulk of EU budget spending can be attributed to measures of the distribution of voting power in the Council of Ministers. Using such estimates, we compare incumbent member states' predicted budget receipts before and after eastern enlargement, and examine the impact of different voting rules in EU-27. According to our estimates eastern enlargement has large effects on the budget receipts of the incumbent member states. Moreover, whether the voting rules are based on the Nice Treaty or the Constitutional Treaty makes a difference for most member states.JEL Classification: C71, D70, D72
