经济一体化降低了要素流动的成本,提高了效率,有助于要素净收益的均衡化。这增加了收入再分配政策的“成本”,从而威胁到福利国家的基本功能。一个简单的不确定性下成本高昂的要素流动模型表明,更大的要素流动性使要素所有者能够集中特定行业、特定地区或特定职业的风险(由于技术或贸易条件的不确定性)。因此,经济一体化可能会减少再分配政策的一些潜在社会保险福利。版权所有1995年由斯堪的纳维亚经济学杂志的编辑。
Economic integration reduces the costs of factor mobility, producing efficiency gains and contributing to equalization of net factor returns. This raises the 'cost' of income-redistribution policy, thus threatening a basic function of the welfare state. A simple model of costly factor mobility under uncertainty shows that greater factor mobility enables factor owners to pool industry-specific, region-specific, or occupation-specific risks (due to uncertain technology or terms of trade). Economic integration may, thus, reduce some of the potential social insurance benefits of redistributive policy. Copyright 1995 by The editors of the Scandinavian Journal of Economics.
