Asia-Europe: the third link

The report provides a comprehensive analysis of Europe-East Asia interdependences (in terms of relative economic weights, trade and financial integration, trade and financial flows, exchange rate and wealth transfers). The prime motivation of the paper is that linkages between Europe and East Asia remain frequently underestimated. While the “third link†between them is in many respects as important as the linkages between the two regions and North America, it is too often regarded only as of secondary importance.Regional integration, Financial integration, Trade integration, East Asia, European Monetary Union, Pisani-Ferry , Cohen-Setton
