“…Nauro F. Campos et al [12] tested the positive economic effects of integration on member countries using synthetic control methods in both positive and negative. Martíne-Zarzoso et al focused on the 2004 enlargement of the European Union to the East and treats it as a natural experiment, who found that the effect of the 2004 EU enlargement has been positive for both intermediate and final goods trades, and it is, in general, greater for final goods [19]. Burghof and Gehrung showed that the European single financial market positively influenced economic growth across a variety of subsamples of EU member states using a difference-indifference design [20].…”

Under the dual background of Britain’s blatant “Brexit” and the steady “expansion” of the European Union (EU) audit list, the economic effect of the development of regional alliances, in the end, is a question worthy of in-depth discussion. Using data from a sample of 27 EU member states from 2000 to 2018, this study examines and compares the impact of EU enlargement on economic growth for countries as a whole, developed and developing countries, and Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries using a multi-period difference-in-difference (DID) method and explores the mechanisms underlying that. The results show that EU enlargement contributes to the expected regional economic growth, and the effect is more evident in developed countries and CEE countries; the robustness of the results is tested by the dynamic effect test and counterfactual method; EU enlargement improves the spatial allocation of factor markets through regional integration, increases productivity, and positively promotes the overall national economic growth. As a typical quasi-natural experiment of the development of regional integration, the research results of this study on the enlargement of the EU provide a useful reference for the promotion of the development of cross-administrative integration around the world.

“…This second case study addresses the Central-Eastern enlargement of the European Union [33,[61][62][63][64], which has been viewed as a natural experiment [65,66] for testing theories of market PLOS ONE integration and trade [67][68][69][70]. Specifically, this case study tracks the production-structural trajectories of the set of 'Eastern' countries that joined the EU in 2004 -the so-called 'A8' countries consisting of Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia-and also Bulgaria and Romania, both joining three years later.…”

This article proposes a network-analytical framework for the comparative study of national production structures in global production networks. Conceptualizing such structures as the linked networks of both domestic and foreign intermediate inputs, the latter constituting the characteristic feature of contemporary economic globalization, the proposed approach extracts a structural profile that captures the up- and downstream prominence of economic sectors for a particular country and year. These ‘fingerprints’ of national production structures can subsequently be compared on a pairwise basis, providing novel ways to determine and compare the structural similarities, transformations, and trajectories of national economies in the transnational production regime. Two shorter case studies exemplify the approach. The first applies clustering methods to explore spatiotemporal similarities of the production structures for 40 countries over the 1995–2011 period. Based on such similarities, an analytically useful classification into 11 structural types is proposed. The second study addresses structural transformations and trajectories during EU’s eastern enlargement, finding significant structural change, yet minuscule East-West convergence.

Production networks in Europe: A natural experiment of the European Union enlargement to the east

Abstract: Proximity plays an important role for trade relations, in particular, when the products traded are intermediates that are used in several stages of the production process. In addition, the size of the market and relative factor endowments or economic behavior are equally influential
