An Empirical Estimation of Asia's Untapped Regional Integration Potential Using Data Envelopment Analysis

Naeher, Dominik | August 2015
Abstract
Regional integration is at the center of the current debate on strategies for optimal growth and development policies. This paper presents empirical findings that provide answers to two important questions in this context. How integrated are Asian regions compared with other regions in the world, when looking at multiple dimensions of economic integration? And how large is the untapped potential of Asia’s regions for further integration, based on currently available resources and institutional conditions?
