The current literature on the 5th EU enlargement, shows widespread support of beta-convergence between old and new members but partial support in favor of stochastic convergence. In this paper, I try to assess whether this process may have been signicantly facilitated by intra-EU trade. This is a possibility not accounted for in the standard neoclassical model, nor deeply investigated in the enlargement literature, but one which can potentially explain the differences researchers observe across countries. Preliminary evidence fails to conrm the predominant role of trade openness in stimulating output convergence suggested, at a more general level, by previous research.
