The establishment of regional trade agreements (RTAs) has created an intricate network of connections and overlapping agreements among multiple members. The study traces the evolution of trade and RTA networks using tools of network analysis for the periods 1995-2021. We find that the importance of countries in the trade network has changed, with developing countries replacing the previously dominant players. China, in particular, has emerged as a key player during this period. We find that connectivity in the trade network is not strongly associated with the RTA network. We also identify three major communities within the trade network, with the United States, Germany, and Japan (later China) as the core countries in these communities. Furthermore, we compare the community structures of the trade network and the RTA network using Normalised Mutual Information. Our analysis suggests that the community structure of trade has limited overlap with the community structure of RTAs. Furthermore, correlations based on the quadratic assignment procedure indicate a weak association, if any, between the two networks over the years.","PeriodicalId":45678,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Integration","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141122304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In China, improving household welfare and narrowing welfare gaps become another major purpose of regional integration. Nevertheless, little attention has been paid to household-level impacts of regional integration on improving welfare. This study provides empirical analysis on impacts of regional integration on household welfare by using the case of the Yangtze Delta area from 2010 to 2020. We find that overall impacts of regional integration on improving household welfare and reducing household welfare inequality are significantly positive, and such impacts reveal spatial heterogeneity. Public transport infrastructural integration and city-level migration are two major mechanisms through which such impacts can be amplified. Results remain feasible after a series of robustness tests. We believe that integration should be further implemented to eliminate poverty and boost social welfare in both developed and developing regions in China, and cross-city and interprovincial trade needs to be promoted as an important means of regional integration.","PeriodicalId":45678,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Integration","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141123086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mourik","doi":"10.11130/jei.2024006","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.11130/jei.2024006","url":null,"abstract":"This paper investigates the relation between economic integration and income inequality for the 27 current EU members from 2002 to 2020. The Gini coefficient is the dependent variable in a panel data regression analysis, and is expressed as a function of indicators related to economic integration (total trade, intra-EU trade, foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow and outflow) and a set of control variables. Although much research points to a significant relationship between inequality and integration, there is no consensus on the sign and magnitude of the effect. In this paper, four random effects panel models are estimated with robust standard errors to uncover this relationship. The results show that in the context of the EU, intra-EU trade is associated with decreased income inequality, while overall trade and FDI in- or outflow seem to have no direct effect on the income gap. In addition, the level of economic development seems to moderate the effect of intra-EU trade: for countries with a below-average gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, the reducing effect of integration on Gini is weaker than for richer countries. Additionally, market capitalisation, the presence of natural resources and government spending on social benefits are associated with reduced inequality, while unemployment and population size seem to drive income disparities. These results are consistent with a major part of the existing literature and lead to interesting conclusions for policy makers. The originality of this work differentiating it from prior research is twofold: (1) the region of examination is the EU, which is not often the subject of similar analyses, and (2) an interaction effect is examined that differs from the conventional measures for less developed economies.","PeriodicalId":45678,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Integration","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140239144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
