    <description>Title: Factor flows between Australia and New Zealand
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Authors: Lloyd, P. J.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Abstract: Economic relations between Australia and New Zealand comprise trade in goods, services, labour and capital. Table 1 lists the dependence of Australia on New Zealand markets, and the dependence of New Zealand on Australian markets, in the simple sense of the magnitude of imports and exports of goods and services and factor flows with the other country. To make these flows comparable, each flow between Australia and New Zealand is expressed as a share of the total corresponding flow between the country and the Rest of the World. As is well known, this table shows that all of these shares are considerably higher for New Zealand than for Australia. That is, the New Zealand economy is more dependent on the Australian economy than the reverse. Looking at the comparisons within each column, we find that both the Australian and the New Zealand economies are more dependent on each other for factor supplies than they are for trade in goods and services. In particular, two flows really stand out as making Australia and New Zealand dependent upon each other. These are New Zealand supplies of labour to the Australian labour markets and trans-Tasman foreign direct investment. Consequently, while the usual focus on economic relations is on trade in goods and services, I shall focus on trade in factors.</description>

    <description>Title: Trade, growth, and global connectivity in the New Zealand context
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Authors: Nees, Chris
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Abstract: Intended as a contribution to the debate on the sources of New Zealand’s export growth, this paper seeks to examine the persistence of New Zealand’s trade in commodity products, which have historically made up a large portion of the nation’s export receipts. Despite periodic discussion surrounding export strategies such as exhorting exporters to add more value or the need to develop a ‘knowledge economy’, an important part of New Zealand’s export returns and New Zealand’s income continues to be sourced from bulk commodities. [...] The importance of commodities to New Zealand’s export returns is likely to continue as New Zealand’s supply side comparative advantage in the production of agricultural products carries on even as the economy diversifies its exports. New Zealand is in a good position to benefit from future liberalisation in world trade (albeit slowly), strong demand for commodities from Asia, and experience gained from doing business in competitive world markets.</description>

    <description>Title: The trans-Tasman economic relationship: Like ham and eggs? "The chicken has an interest but the pig is committed"
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Authors: Nixon, Chris
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Abstract: This paper sets out to examine the factors that need to be considered before New Zealand enters into negotiations over further integration in the trans-Tasman market. While it is timely to look forward to the shape of possible future integration, it is also important to understand the lessons of New Zealand’s past economic relationship with Australia. In particular, an examination of landmark Australia New Zealand Closer Economic Relationship Agreement (known as CER) signed in 1983 forms the basis of this paper. CER is at the cornerstone not only of New Zealand’s relationship with Australia but is also a key part of New Zealand’s trade policy. Therefore a stock take of the trans-Tasman relationship is timely because: [1] sufficient time has past since the CER agreement was signed; [2] major trade initiatives (APEC) and agreements (Uruguay Round Agreement, Singapore CEP) have been signed; and [3] there has been an intensification of the processes of globalisation and localisation. Specifically, the aim of the paper is to examine the trans-Tasman relationship through the lens of institutional economics to tease out the important economic issues associated with integration. To accomplish this, careful case-by-case investigation of each area of trans-Tasman contact is necessary.</description>
