Factsheet on the 30th anniversary of the single market

WP2022/07 - Thirty years after the 1992 deadline for 'completing' the European single market, how can we judge Europe’s progress toward that goal? How should we estimate prospective gains from further steps?

WP2022/08 - Has the Euro created a more competitive market? Using a staggered difference-in-differences design, this paper finds that the Euro has increased firm-level market power between 23% and 30%, after its adoption.

WP2022/09 - This paper derives a European Herfindahl–Hirschman concentration index from 15 micro-aggregated country datasets. It finds that changes in concentration in Europe are positively associated with changes in productivity and allocative efficiency.

WP2022/10 - This paper estimates the impact of participation in Global Value Chains (GVCs) on unemployment. It shows that a higher participation reduces the unemployment rate in less advanced EU economies, while it increases it in core countries.
