In fact, we have a pretty good idea thanks to TAFTA/TTIP. According to the European Commissions own predictions (pdf), four-fifths of the (wildly-optimistic) GDP boost that is supposed to flow from an ambitious transatlantic agreement comes from removing non-tariff barriers through just this kind of regulatory co-operation. What that means is actually deregulation: removing barriers like health, safety, environmental and financial regulations that all get in the way of boosting corporate profits.
