Age and Skill Bias of Trade Liberalisation? Heterogeneous Employment Effects of EU Eastern Enlargement

ZusammenfassungIn diesem Beitrag werden die Auswirkungen einer wirtschaftlichen Integration auf das langfristige Wachstum analysiert. Dabei wird von international unterschiedlichen Faktorausstattungen, einer unvollständigen Wissensdiffusion und der Existenz von Umweltproblemen ausgegangen. Als Resultat einer Integration ergibt sich, daß eine für die langfristige Dynamik ungünstige Reallokation der Ressourcen zwischen den Wirtschaftssektoren nicht auszuschließen ist. Dies trifft vor allem dann zu, wenn die Integrationspartner über wenig qualifizierte Arbeit verfügen, die internationale Wissensdiffusion gering ist sowie die Substitutionsmöglichkeiten zwischen den verschiedenen Arbeitsinputs sowie zwischen den natürlichen Ressourcen und dem Faktor Wissen gering sind. Diese Fälle werden am Beispiel der EU-Osterweiterung diskutiert.

As EU Eastern enlargement draws nearer, CEE countries - especially those with the best chance to become EU members in the first group - have to get prepared for the EU environment, where they will be exposed to new competitive pressures. They have to increase their performance and overcome their low level of competitiveness, existing in spite of their recent relatively successful transition from command to market economy. Even though they are not a homogeneous group of states, at minimum those of them, the application of which for joining EU are dealt with, show despite the existing differences certain common features of their hitherto transformation (including restructuring) development (we take into account the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland).

The European Union (EU) and Serbia?s accession to this international organization in a relatively distant future are linked, in the eyes of the Serbian public, with numerous expectations, dilemmas, misunderstanding fears, joys and periodical manipulations. The topic is important, broad and complex, so there is a need for the basic and understandable explanations. While in Serbia this topic is one of the most important and high on the government?s agenda. In the EU and its member countries, it attracts almost no attention and is not a priority issue. Simply, the EU is concerned with much more important issues, such as its future constitutional system security, energy, globalization, unemployment, immigration, demographic problem (population ageing), monetary union, preservation of the single market and adjustment to the EU eastern enlargement of 2004 and 2007. After introduction to the advantages and problems relating to Serbia?s potential accession to the EU, the attention is turned to the issues that include geopolitical conditions for accession to the EU, legislation and functioning of the EU, as well as its budget. Effects of integration, the EU?s interest in Serbia and Serbia?s interest in the EU are presented before conclusions.
