Schoof, Ulrich and Ronge, Mirco and Felbermayr, Gabriel (2013) Federal States, Industries and Education Level – Effects of TTIP in Germany. Policy Brief #2013/05. [Policy Paper]
Abstract
A purely microeconomic perspective shows that all major industries and states would benefit from a transatlantic trade and investment partnership (TTIP). The greatest manufacturing and employment effects would be seen in the electronics industry as well as metal processing. Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia would benefit most from this. Furthermore, it becomes apparent that new jobs would be created for all education groups – even for relatively unskilled workers. Their real income could increase even more than that of highly qualified workers.
