CER Interdependence Study
6 May 2004
The Interdependence Study is intended to provide a better empirical understanding of the interrelationships and dynamic implications of trans-Tasman integration at both the firm and sectoral levels. The Study was undertaken by Law and Economic Consulting Group based in Wellington and ACIL Tasman based in Melbourne, on behalf of the Ministry of Economic Development with the support of Treasury and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
The results of the study are intended to inform advice on strategies to gain further economic benefits from CER. These include priorities for further reducing costs to firms operating in both markets, and co-operation between both firms and governments to leverage better growth for New Zealand and Australia from participation in international markets.
Officials have yet to fully analyse the report.
