Part of the book series: Contributions to Economics ((CE))

Abstract

Soon after the IfR was founded, Karin Peschel in 1973 initiated a research programme aiming at analyzing the spatial impact of economic integration. As usual, at the beginning of this research project stood a screening of existing theories. Peschel presented the results from her first screening to the European RSA congress in summer 1974. They were published as no. 10 in the institute’s discussion paper series (Peschel 1974).
