Challenges and implications of the DCFTA agreements between the EU and Georgia, Republic of Moldova and Ukraine
Client/Funding Institution
Bertelsmann Stiftung
Abstract
In a joint research project of the Bertelsmann Stiftung and the Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies A. Adarov and P. Havlik analysed the benefits and costs of the DCFTAs between the EU and Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine and proposed recommendations for the European Neighbourhood Policy. The analysis suggests that the net benefits are highly asymmetric along the time dimension (high costs in the short and medium run – benefits accruing mostly in the longer run), as well as across regions and economic sectors (less competitive sectors and regions will face particularly onerous adjustment costs). In the light of the macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges the DCFTA countries have been facing, this may jeopardise progress of reforms.
