Author Description

This study summarizes the current literature on the economic benefits of the free movement of goods in the EU Single Market. A theory-grounded sectoral gravity model has found that EU Single Market increased real income in the European Union by approximately 6,43%. Furthermore, we discuss ex-ante analyses of the benefits of legislation that enhances European Market integration. This document was commissioned by the Policy Department A at the request of the European Parliament's Committee on Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO).
