Intensive Seminar: Economic Implications of EU Enlargement by Wilhelm Kohler Professor of Economics, University of Tübingen General Purpose: In the early 1990s, following the collapse of Soviet-style political systems in eastern Europe, the EU has embarked upon a process of taking in as many as 10 new member countries from central and eastern Europe. In May 2004, the first step of Eastern enlargement of the EU has formally taken place, with 8 central and eastern European countries plus Cyprus and Malta becoming new members of the Union. Bulgaria and Romania have followed in 2007. Further enlargement negotiations are already underway with Croatia and Turkey. Other Balkan countries and countries further to the East might follow. Eastern enlargement of 2004/2007 is now commonly perceived as a success story, but one now recognizes a certain amount of enlargement fatigue. Enlargement of the EU has always been, and will always be, driven by political as well as economic considerations, both on the part of incumbent countries and potential new members. This seminar tries to bring basic insights from economic theory to bear upon the process of European integration in general, and upon EU-enlargement in particular. Participants will be assigned individual seminar papers covering specific aspects of the problem. The papers (20 - 30 pages) will be presented in a series of sessions towards the end of term, with a first draft due a week ahead of time (see deadlines given below). The seminar topics are given below, with some guidance as to the questions to be addressed, as well as detailed relevant references. The topics are mainly formulated with a view on the recent enlargement of 2004/2007, but it is natural to also take a forward-looking perspective when writing the respective seminar paper. Please take my suggested readings seriously. More details, including a commented list of topics as well as suggested literature and useful links are found on the Seminar homepage at http://www.economics2.uni-tuebingen.de/dak08/
In order to register for the seminar, please do two things: 1. Send an E-mail to me, stating your full name, phone number, and E-mail address (as valid during term), as well as expressing your preference for one of the seminar topics, no later than Dec 12, 2008.

Organization: There will be no introductory session on the premises of the DAK. Participants will instead be "taught" and tutored through this website, as well as through direct e-mail contact. But this requires some cooperation on the part of students. First, I would urge sudents to consult my lecture notes on European Integration which are available here, in order to obtain a concise overview on the relevant economic theory. In addition, you should consult the books by
Pelkmans (2006) and Baldwin &Wyplosz (2006); details on the literature for this seminar are found online here. Assignment of topics will take place on the basis of your e-mail registration (see above). You should try to coordinate with other students beforehand, in order to aboid doubleassignments. Participation in the seminar requires timely e-mail registration, including preference for a topic. I shall then get back to you with confirmation, or with an alternative suggestion. Once assignments are fixed, there will subsequently be individual tutoring via email. However, the hints and suggestions offered below and the detailed online list of references should already provide substantial help.
