Regional Integration and Poverty

by Dirk Willem te Velde and the Overseas Development Institute

Published 28 October 2006

Relatively little is known about how regional integration affects poverty. Many suggest that increased investment would be one of the benefits of agreeing on regional integration provisions but this has not been put to the empirical test for South-South integration. This volume examines the channels through which regional integration affects poverty and empirically analyzes the effects on foreign direct investment.
