Bilateral and multilateral trade agreements have been gaining attention and relevance in recent years. For the countries around the Mediterranean basin the most important regional trade agreements involved are the Euro-Med Agreements, which influence their trade flows as they aim to promote regional integration. Based on the theory of applied welfare economics, this study analyses empirically the impacts of different policy scenarios on the agricultural sector of Mediterranean countries by using an extended and modified version of the trade policy model AGRISIM. The results show that trade liberalisation, either multilateral or bilateral, would be beneficial for the Mediterranean agricultural markets due to positive welfare effects and should be considered by policy makers.

This compelling two-volume collection presents the major literary contributions to the economic analysis of the consequences of trade liberalization on growth, productivity, labor market outcomes and economic inequality. Examining the classical theories that stress gains from trade stemming from comparative advantage, the selection also comprises more recent theories of imperfect competition, where any potential gains from trade can stem from competitive effects or the international transmission of knowledge. Empirical contributions provide evidence regarding the explanatory power of these various theories, including work on the effects of trade openness on economic growth, wages, and income inequality, as well as evidence on the effects of trade on firm productivity, entry and exit. Prefaced by an original introduction from the editor, the collection will to be an invaluable research resource for academics, practitioners and those drawn to this fascinating topic.

The creation by government regulation of entitlements akin to property rights is a widespread phenomenon imposing a reconsideration of the traditional categories of public and private property. The allocation of such rights that lack an explicit legislative definition but are object of relevant social and legal interests is a very complex topic, which has become very acute in cases where markets have been established for them. The analysis of the systems created for the allocation and management of these rights is the core of this book, which examines four emblematic examples: airport slots, spectrum rights, milk quotas and emission allowances. The book focuses on the European level, including legislation and the most relevant policy issues, by means of a comparative method involving private law, public law and law and economics approaches.
