Abstract: | The relationship between EU manufacturing imports from the southern EU and the CEEC. An Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) is set up for imports of 12 EU countries from EU-South and CEEC at the disaggerated NACE level, differentiating between final and intermediate goods. The correlation between the sign of elasticities of substitution and various explaining variables is analyzed. It is found that final goods imports are strongly complementary and intermediate goods imports are substitutive. |
