There have been and continue to be a remarkable number of cases in which high-wage and low-wage countries have become partially integrated. The increasing economic interdependence of the U.S. and Japan beginning in the 1950's is one example. The high-wage European community has added Ireland, Spain, Greece and Portugal. More recently there is the integration of West and East Germany; and of Western and Eastern Europe generally. Also there is the increasing integration of the U.S. and Mexico and the partial integration of the U.S. with the rest of Latin America. This project studies theoretically and empirically the consequences of partial economic integration of high-wage and low-wage countries. The goal is to understand what happens to output mix, factor returns, employment, unemployment, and prices as two or more regions with different wages are partially or fully integrated. One contribution of this research will be an assessment of the value of competing models as vehicles for understanding partial economic integration. A variety of different economic models will be considered, differing in terms of their assumptions regarding the degree of factor mobility between industries and between countries, the nature of the production process and the character of competition in goods and factor markets. Another contribution of this project will be the assessment of the impact of various policy measures on the performance of an economy in the midst of an integration episode. The possible policy measures include isolationist commercial policy, industrial subsidies, unemployment compensation, adjustment assistance, and educational subsidies.

在过去和现在， 在这种情况下，高工资和低工资国家都成为部分 整合 美国经济日益相互依赖。 日本从1950年代开始就是一个例子。 高工资 欧洲共同体增加了爱尔兰、西班牙、希腊和葡萄牙。 最近有东西德国的合并; 以及整个西欧和东欧。 此外， 美国和墨西哥的日益一体化以及部分 美国与拉丁美洲其他国家的融合。 这 该项目从理论上和经验上研究了 高工资和低工资国家的部分经济一体化。 目标是了解产出组合、要素 回报率、就业率、失业率和价格作为两个或更多 工资水平不同的地区部分或完全融合。 这项研究的一个贡献将是评估 竞争模型作为理解部分 经济一体化 各种不同的经济模式 将被考虑，在他们的假设方面有所不同 产业间要素流动程度， 生产过程的性质和生产过程的 商品和要素市场竞争的特点。 另一 该项目的贡献将是评估影响 各种政策措施对经济表现的影响， 在一个融合的过程中。 可能的政策 措施包括孤立主义的商业政策，工业 补贴、失业补偿、调整援助，以及 教育补贴。
