Welfare Effects of Capital ‘Migration’

Labour Market Integration: Simplest Framework

Labour market integration

The same analysis applies as before: welfare increases by B+C.

Logic of Growth Effects

Summary

European integration (or any other policy)

→ Allocation effect

→ Improved efficiency

→ Better investment climate

→ More investment in machines, skills and/or technology

→ Higher output per person.

Integration improves efficiency → improves investment climate → higher investment rate (s rises to s’) → faster growth (knowledge capital accumulates more rapidly)
