The recent economic crisis has brought into focus how even open and highly interdependent economies in the European Union try to govern their economies according to territorially defined interests. The aim of this article is to examine an area, online gambling, with the technological and legal conditions that challenge approaches that favour economic patriotism. The article compares two cases, the United Kingdom and Italy, that represent two different models of economic governance to argue that they are similar in which interests they seek to protect and at which level.

4. Brexit and immigration.

EUROPEAN Union membership ,EMIGRATION & immigration ,LABOR market ,LABOR supply ,POPULISM ,ECONOMIC conditions in Great Britain, 1997- - Abstract
Net inward migration from the EU has been running at record levels in recent years, although the steep increase in new National Insurance numbers issued suggests that the official data may be understating the level of immigration. There was a clear step up in inflows after both expansions of the EU into central and eastern Europe, while the relative strength of the UK labour market has been an important driver of the more recent rise in inflows., High levels of immigration have helped to offset the impact of an ageing population and ensured that the UK has enjoyed stronger labour supply growth than many of its peers. With migrants typically being better educated than their UK-born counterparts, the quality of the stock of labour has also improved, and migrants have been found to have a net positive fiscal impact., But there have been some downsides, with evidence that high immigration has had a small dampening impact on wages. That migrants tend to head to London and the other southern regions over other destinations has exacerbated the imbalances in regional housing markets., Given that a desire to have greater control over immigration is usually one of the key motivations for those favouring Brexit, a vote in favour of leaving the EU is likely to see the UK abandon the policy of free movement of labour. This would probably see the UK extend the points-based system that it currently uses for non-EU countries to include EU migrants., Our modelling suggests that the adoption of a 'populist' immigration policy which lowers net inward migration by 60,000 a year could reduce the level of GDP by 1.1% in 2030 compared with our baseline forecast.

5. Brexit and FDI.

EUROPEAN Union membership ,FOREIGN investments ,GROSS domestic product ,PRODUCTION (Economic theory) ,ECONOMIC conditions in Great Britain, 1997- - Abstract
The potential for a departure from the EU to undermine the UK's attractiveness as a location for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is often cited as one of the key risks were the UK to leave the EU. In weighing up the threat to FDI posed by 'Brexit' we assess the net gain from inward investment and the role played by EU membership in attracting FDI., In theory, FDI benefits the economy via lower interest rates, higher wages for workers and 'spillover' benefits boosting economy-wide productivity. But the evidence for these benefits is ambiguous. And FDI has potential drawbacks. These include an adverse effect on the tradeable sector, reflected in a wider current account deficit, the potential to 'crowd out' investment by domestic firms and the fiscal cost of subsidies paid to inward investors., That almost half of FDI in the UK comes from other EU countries suggests that EU membership is not the only driver of foreign investment in the UK. Other factors include the UK's business friendly environment, as reflected in global competitiveness surveys, and a relatively deregulated labour market. Of perhaps most importance is the lure provided by the UK's large domestic economy. 80% of FDI in the UK is in sectors where sales to the EU account for less than 10% of total demand., However, FDI in manufacturing does look vulnerable to Brexit, given the importance of the EU market. Granted, manufacturing accounts for a modest share of UK FDI. But to the extent that FDI boosts productivity, a loss of inward investment in this sector is likely to come at a disproportionate cost., Our modelling suggests that in a worst case Brexit scenario, the stock of FDI could ultimately be 7% lower relative to the UK remaining in the EU, potentially knocking around ½% off the level of GDP.

NONTARIFF trade barriers ,GROSS domestic product ,EUROPEAN Union membership ,CHEMICAL sales & prices ,ECONOMIC conditions in Great Britain, 1997- - Abstract
While a major market for UK exports, the EU is not quite as significant as the headline statistics suggest and one which is likely to continue declining in relative importance. The static tariff cost of a worst-case 'Brexit' is estimated to be around ¼% of GDP, a modest sum., But the dynamic cost could be higher. And certain industrial sectors look vulnerable, notably aircraft and chemicals where sales to the EU account for over 40% of total (domestic and overseas) demand and EU tariffs are relatively high., Moreover, exports to the EU would also face non-tariff barriers, which would be of particular relevance for the services sector. That services firms export much more to the rest of the world than to the EU suggests that they are well versed in overcoming such barriers. But financial services would face particular risks from Brexit. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article examines the impact of local knowledge spillovers on employment growth in the service sector at both the theoretical and empirical level. It is argued that, in addition to life cycle and tradability effects, spillovers in services are likely to be strongly influenced by distinctive service characteristics and labour-related factors, which impact on the channels through which spillovers are transmitted. Empirical models of employment growth suggest significant differences in spillover effects between industry and services and across public, private, business and personal services. In particular, many services appear to benefit from spillovers arising from a diverse local economy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Following the vote to leave the EU, we have reduced our forecasts for GDP growth in the short and long term. In the short term, heightened uncertainty will dampen business investment, while the weaker pound will push up inflation and hamper consumer spending. Further out, we expect the UK to lose its access to the single market in return for the ability to limit immigration; both of these choices would limit prospects for GDP growth.

The article notes that for the past three years, while profits have surged around the globe, capital spending has remained relatively weak. As a result, companies in aggregate have become net savers on a huge scale. Their thrift may explain why bond yields are now so low. The theory that is currently all the rage holds that yields have been depressed by a global savings glut. Since 2000, the corporate sector has stood out. The economies of America and Britain have boomed, while those of Japan and the euro area have stalled, yet in all of them firms are now running a financial surplus, using their spare money to repay debts, buy back shares or build up cash. Firms have been net savers for the odd year in the past, but a run of several years is highly unusual. The recent increase in corporate saving in the euro area has been more modest than in America or Britain, but it has made a bigger dent in growth, because the single-currency zone, unlike the other two economies, has not been cushioned by either an increase in government borrowing or a fall in saving by households.

ECONOMIC indicators , *ECONOMIC history , *ECONOMIC policy , *EMPLOYMENT ,ECONOMIC conditions in Great Britain, 1997- - Abstract
The article offers a look at economic conditions in Great Britain. In April 2005, halfway through an election campaign, Britain's Labor government allowed the country's last volume car maker to go bankrupt with the loss of some 4,000 jobs. A prominent manufacturing collapse might seem an odd measure of economic success, but the popular consensus that workers at MG Rover and its suppliers could find jobs elsewhere was a vote of supreme self-confidence. The British economy has rapidly lost steam, with a sharp downward revision in gross domestic product growth, fears that consumers are deserting the high street, a shaky housing market and fragile manufacturing. This slowdown comes at an awkward moment for the economy's ultimate guardians, Prime Minister Tony Blair and Chancellor Gordon Brown. In their calls for structural reform in the European Union, the prime minister and his chancellor have derived much of their authority from the economy's success in generating jobs and wealth.

If Britain had joined the euro with the other 11 founder members at the start of 1999, how would the economy have fared inside rather than outside the euro area? Interest rates would have dropped by four percentage points to the lower level set in the euro area. The stimulus to the economy would have pushed growth in 2000 up to a heady 5.5%. Excess demand would have pushed inflation up to nearly 5% and it would have stayed high over the past three years. This would have made the economy less and less competitive. Outside the euro area, a loss of competitiveness can be quickly regained by a fall in the exchange rate. Inside, it has to be grindingly restored through a protracted period of lower inflation and slower growth. The Treasury's counterfactual history is self-serving: it vindicates the decision Gordon Brown took in 1997. But it also illustrates why it is so important to ensure that the economy is as convergent as possible with the euro area before signing up to membership. Once Britain gives up its independent monetary policy, adjustment to shocks will occur through changes in the real exchange rate--the market rate adjusted for prices at home and in Europe.

Faced with owning up to higher borrowing, British Finance Minister Gordon Brown would have liked a diversionary tactic. Announcing the long-awaited assessment of whether Britain is ready to join the euro would have done nicely, but Prime Minister Tony Blair, anxious to repair relations with Europe, would have none of it. Even so, Mr Brown implied what the outcome of the assessment would be. Helpfully, he pointed out that long-term interest rates were now below those of the euro area. He drew attention to the fact that the unemployment rate in Britain was 5% whereas it was 9% in the single-currency zone. And he highlighted the fact that the British economy had grown over the past two years at roughly double the rate of the euro area. Mr. Brown left it to MPs to infer that there was no compelling case for joining the euro in a hurry.

The author discusses the European currency debacle inside the Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM) of which Great Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron tries to address for economic recovery. He cites the financial crisis that Cameron had experienced first-hand during the time of British Chancellor Norman Lamont on September 16, 1992 when the interest rates increased to 15% that led to much bigger crisis. He suggests that indebted eurozone countries must devalue currency and restore public finances.
