recessions tend to lead to falling trade and protectionism. I investigate this, using a model where an important component of … trade is search by rms trying out new trade part- ners. To model this, I set up a schematic model of upstream … together, to avoid trade costs. As trade is liberalised, new North-South matches begin to develop, but at rst these are …

We examine the R&D and export decisions of two ex ante symmetric firms in symmetric countries, with both unit trade … costs and fixed entry costs to the export market. When both trade costs are low, there will be a symmetric, cross …-hauling duopoly, but if fixed costs are fairly high, unit trade costs are low and R&D is relatively cheap, there will be an asymmetric …

We build up a Ricardian trade model for a small open economy with imperfection in the market for credit which … eventually affects the pattern of production and trade. Workers/entrepreneurs are endowed with different levels “capital” and … distribution of capital ownership determines the nature of production and trade. Those producing fragments may engage in external …
