BRITISH IMPORTS OF MANUFACTURES AND THE COMMON MARKET**An earlier version of this paper was presented to the International Economics Study Group and to the European Studies graduate seminar at the London School of Economics. The author is grateful to both these groups, and also to Dr. D. G. Mayes, Dr. F. V. Meyer and two referees for comments on that draft. Naturally he does not blame any of these people for its remaining shortcomings

Abstract

THIS paper assesses the impact of Britain's accession to the EEC on her imports of manufactures. It argues that account must be taken of the substitutability of imports for home production, and that price effects must be modelled consistently. It applies Deaton and Muellbauer's “Almost Ideal Demand System” to annual data on UK home sales and imports from ten sources. It identifies considerable trade creation, but little or no trade diversion.
