“…Assuming that the Services Directive does not affect the industries excluded from the sample (some 72 per cent of value added), aggregate total productivity gains amount to 0.82 per cent, which are also interpreted as GDP effects since FDIs are assumed not to affect employment. Breuss and Badinger (2006) and Badinger et al (2008) -in line with the Bruijn et al (2006 study -assume that the elimination of the CoOP principle would reduce the effects by one-third.…”

“…In a follow-up study, Badinger et al (2008) use a similar approach to evaluate the consequences of the SD via the FDI channel. Using a sample of 11 EU countries and four service industries (construction, distribution, hotels and restaurants, business services) they estimate the FDI effects of the SD in a first step; FDI barriers within the EU were measured by the 'FDI restriction indices' of Golub (2003).…”

We investigate, from an interdisciplinary perspective, the legal and economic consequences of the EU Services Directive, which was adopted in a revised version on 12 December 2006. Studies on the effect of its original version point to moderate macroeconomic effects. Compared with its initial version, the directive has undergone substantial changes, which have eliminated many core elements that would have triggered additional liberalization in services markets. As a result, the Services Directive has moved away from its economic motivation and is likely to miss its aim of completing the EU internal market for services. Copyright (c) 2009 The Author(s).

“…Breuss and Badinger () and Badinger et al. () investigate the argument that the main channel through which the directive affects macroeconomic performance (productivity, employment and investment) is competition. They find that a reduction in mark‐ups following the competitive pressure leads to contrary results at the country‐level: small countries will rather gain less than the EU average .…”

Trade Effects of the European Union's Service Directive: Contrastingex anteEstimates with Empirical Evidence

One of the top priorities to improve the European Union's growth performance is the creation of a single market for services. The directive on services adopted by the Parliament and the Council by the end of 2006 aims at removing barriers to the free movement of service providers on the internal market. Previous studies quantified ex ante sizable effects of implementing the directive in its original form. This paper is a first attempt to evaluate ex post the trade effects induced by a directive – which excludes the country‐of‐origin principle – by performing a difference‐in‐difference‐(in‐differences) estimator on a sample of EU‐ and non‐EU countries in the period 2004 to 10. We account for non‐tariff trade barriers and the endogeneity of regional trade agreements and find that the service directive adds to a reallocation of business services trade within the EU. Accounting for the trade effect of past deregulations, the EU directive fosters a deeper integration of the new member states into the European service value‐added‐chain and promotes business service exports from third countries towards the EU significantly more than trade of country pairs in the control group. The reorientation of the EU‐15 towards the new members is in turn associated with less intense intra‐EU‐10 businesses, while business trade between EU‐15 members is not significantly affected.
