Resumen

En este trabajo realizamos un estudio empírico de los efectos macroeconómicos de la integración europea en las incorporaciones que han tenido lugar entre 1970 y 2000. Para ello investigamos los efectos de la integración sobre distintas variables de la economía real. Nuestros resultados muestran que la renta por trabajo inicial y el tamaño del país tienen una influencia considerable en la evolución de las economías consideradas. En concreto, encontramos que estas condiciones iniciales influyen sobre la evolución de los salarios, la productividad, el PIB, y en algunos casos sobre el número de trabajadores.

Palabras clave:

Abstract

In this essay we carry out an empirical exercise on the macroeconomic effects of the European integration process that occurred between 1970 and 2000. We find that initial income per worker and country size have a noticeable influence on economic performance. More precisely, these initial conditions seem to affect wages, productivity, GDP growth, and in some cases, the size of the labour force.

Keywords:
European Integration
International Trade
Productivity
Wages
