Economists from eastern and western Europe, the US, and Argentina examine national policies on the exchange of goods and services, money, and labor and the impact that such policies have on both the international flow and the domestic economies of affected countries. Their topics include the impact of technical barriers to trade on Argentina exports and labor markets, trade liberalization in southeastern Europe, effects of host-country migration policies on how Romanian remittances from the European Union impact poverty, possible skill diffusion by workers returning to European Union accession countries after working temporarily in western Europe, the effect of policies on foreign direct investment flows to transition countries, and empirical evidence from transition countries on whether foreign ownership matters for enterprise training.
