The Trade and FDI Effects of EMU EnlargementJ. BrouwerUniversity of Amsterdam - University of Amsterdam Business School Richard PaapErasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) - Department of Econometrics; Tinbergen Institute; Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM) Jean-Marie ViaeneErasmus University; Tinbergen Institute; CESifo (Center for Economic Studies and Ifo Institute for Economic Research) October 2007 CESifo Working Paper No. 2123 Abstract: This paper considers the nature and the distribution of trade and FDI effects of a potential enlargement of the European Monetary Union (EMU) to the ten countries that obtained EU membership in 2004. One-way and two-way error component gravity models are estimated using a dataset of unbalanced panel data that combines bilateral trade flows among 29 countries and the distribution of outward FDI stocks among these countries. The results reveal a complementarity between trade and investment and a relationship between trade and exchange rate volatility that depends on the sign of bilateral trade balances. Using a simulation-based technique, we find that estimates of FDI effects of EMU range between 18.5 percent for Poland and 30 percent for Hungary.
