The countries that make up the EC ” … are well into the process of complete economic integration” (Hailstones and Mastrianna 1991). The EC has become an established free trade zone and as such has become a relatively homogeneous economic region. While many studies have investigated the overall impact of the EC, few have focused on intraregional differences. The establishment of a single Europe allows for the study of Europe using traditional techniques of regional analysis. This study uses shift-share analysis to disaggregate employment changes in the EC to isolate differential impacts on member countries. This will provide information for current and potential EC members deciding on the appropriate level of participation.
