A number of models have been developed quantifying the costs and benefits of different possible scenarios of economic integration on the Eurasian continent. These models sometimes generate contradicting results and conclusions.
The outcomes of the latest Eastern Partnership Summit in Vilnius on 28—29 November were discussed, as well as the relevant issues and challenges. It was argued that a closer integration of Russia, its neighbors, and the EU could lay the foundation for cooperation, particularly in terms of boosting trade and investment and thus fostering economic growth in Europe and Russia [1].
