Abstract

In this article we study the issue of cross-border economic integration in the context of Poland’s reunification from 1919. We find that the Polish interwar economy can be regarded as integrated with some restrictions. Moreover, a significant negative impact of the former partition borders on the integration level in the early 1920s vanishes in the middle of the 1920s. This suggests that the post-reunification integration was surprisingly successful. The degree of integration is comparable to that of 19th century France.
