How Much Do National Borders Matter?

Description:
It is widely believed that globalization has proceeded to the point where international economic linkages are as strong as those within nations. Struck by research suggesting that this perception is dramatically mistaken, John Helliwell spent three years assessing the evidence. This book, the latest in Brookings' Integrating National Economies series, provides the most systematic measurements available of the relative importance of global and national economic ties.
Expand description
First finding that 1988 trade linkages between Canadian provinces were twenty times as dense as those between Canadian provinces and U.S. states of similar size and distance, Helliwell shows that these results are applicable to other countries. He surveys and extends the evidence relating to price linkages, capital mobility and migration, finding in all cases very large border effects. The evidence offers a challenge to economists, policymakers, and citizens to explain why national economies have so much staying power, and to consider whether this is good or bad.
