Abstract
Recognizing the ongoing debate on the relationship between integration and growth, this study aims to present a systematic review of academic literature that discusses the impact of regional integration on countries’ economic growth. By analyzing 82 papers, this study demonstrates the evolution of the integration-growth discourse and identifies the most recurring topics within the regional integration literature. Building on prior research, the study conceptualizes the key channels of integration impact on growth. In addition, the study offers guidance for future research using a Theory-Context-Characteristics-Methodology (TCCM) framework.
