Abstract

This paper examines persistent concerns that trade openness in South-East Europe is much less advanced than it was for the former CEECs in the mid to late 1990s. Using econometric tests, we find that trade patterns appear to remain problematic. Second, partial equilibrium simulations are used to examine different institutional structures. These suggest that the present system of regional ties may do little to stimulate internal trade. In view of this, current plans to extend the Stability Pact matrix of bilateral trade agreements into a pan-regional trade group may be inadequate.
