Abstract:
The study examines the likely impact on Ireland's trade in manufactures of the accessions of Greece, Portugal and Spain to the EECSITC3-digit trade data (for 1978-1983) for manufactures are used to compute two indices: trade conformity and export similarity. The indices reveal that Spain, independently of its relatively larger size, is likely to be more important than either Greece or Portugal both as a trading partner for Ireland, and as a competitor to Ireland in exporting to the rest of the EEC . The study also identities the commodity groups likely to account for increased trade possibilities for Ireland, and for increased competition for Ireland.
