New Trade Geography of Eastern Europe

Most studies have focused on the redirection of commercial flows from central and eastern European countries (CEEC) to the EU. Most intra-CEEC trade takes place within sub-regional basins and the model used here forecasts a tripling of this trade in the next 10 years. In an enlarged Europe, the trade potentials indicate a continent less concentrated than at present and more polymorphic in terms of the geographical distribution of wealth.
