New Issue of the Journal of Economic Integration (Vol.37, No. 4)

For more than 30 years already, since 1986, “The Journal of Economic Integration” makes progress by highlighting research in the field of economics and integration, pointing out policy implications of the ongoing process of globalization. Economic integration is multidimensional and covers various fields in economics. Articles which are published in the Journal help the reader to gain a deeper understanding of resolving common problems, financial crises, poverty, income inequality, and much more.

The new issue of the Journal of Economic Integration includes six articles about general economic integration on a global basis. Dr. Bernhard Seliger, the representative of the Hanns Seidel Foundation Korea, is a board member of the journal.

In the current issue, the following topics are discussed: Fiscal Stimulus in the EU and how it stabilizes the COVID shock, the study of different scenarios on evaluation and effects of gradual tariff that cuts on IORA, and a second scenario that combines the impact of tariff cuts, non-tariff measures (NTM) reduction, and trade facilitation. Moreover, the journal includes research on the impact of time on the preference utilization rate of EU imports from Canada and Korea and EU exports to the two countries. The findings shed light on how EU member states perform vis-à-vis each trade partner and whether certain product groups appear more successful than others in terms of using trade preferences. Research on the Effect of Bilateral Labor Agreements on Trade follows as an experience in the period of World War II. Furthermore, researches from India explain an empirical analysis of the corporate social responsibilities impact on Indian corporate sectors. Finally, the question of how trade liberalization, members and development characteristics are connected and why they matter to trade agagreements was highlighted by different experts in the new issue of the Journal of Economic Integration.
