Common Ground Between Free-traders and Environmentalists

Karp, Larry; Sacheti, Sandeep - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1997

We use a North-South model with property right differences and resource dynamics to study the effects of trade on resource use and welfare. Autarky is likely to Pareto-dominate free trade in the long run when the environment is quite fragile, and the result is reversed when the environment is...

Geographic Localization of International Technology Diffusion

Keller, Wolfgang - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2001

Convergence in per capita income across countries turns on whether technological knowledge spillovers are global or local in a large class of models. This Paper estimates the amount of spillovers from R&D expenditures in major industrialized countries on a geographic basis. A new data set is...

Knowledge Spillovers at the World's Technology Frontier

Keller, Wolfgang - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2001

Convergence in per capita income turns on whether technological knowledge spillovers are global or local. Global spillovers favour convergence, while a geographically limited scope of knowledge diffusion can lead to regional clusters of countries with persistently different levels of income per...

A Many-Country Model of Industrialization

Breinlich, Holger; Cuñat, Alejandro - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2011

We draw attention to the role of economic geography in explaining important cross-sectional facts which are difficult to account for in existing models of industrialization. By construction, closed-economy models that stress the role of local demand in generating sufficient expenditure on...

Regional Integration, Trade, and Migration: Are Demand Linkages Relevant in Europe?

Ludema, Rodney D; Wooton, Ian - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1997

’s economic-geography model in which demand linkages can generate agglomeration of manufacturing activity. Manufacturing labour is … assumed to be imperfectly mobile between countries. This constrains the forces of agglomeration within the region and suggests … that the model may be applicable to Europe. We show that trade liberalisation may lead initially to partial agglomeration …

Comparative Advantage and the Location of Production

Forslid, Rikard; Wooton, Ian - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1999

We return to a familiar topic in international trade, comparative advantage, introducing it into a model of economic geography. We provide a clear counterexample to the familiar result that trade liberalization leads to increased industrial concentration. Instead, lower trade costs may lead to a...

Economic Geography and the Fiscal Effects of Regional Integration

Ludema, Rodney D; Wooton, Ian - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1998

agglomeration of production into a manufacturing core and agricultural periphery, creating regional income differentials. We examine … thus higher equilibrium taxes. Moreover, economic integration must increase taxes when the forces of agglomeration are the …

Economic Geography and International Inequality

Redding, Stephen J.; Venables, Anthony J - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2000

This paper estimates a structural model of economic geography using cross-country data on per capita income, bilateral trade, and the relative price of manufacturing goods. More than 70% of the variation in per capita income can be explained by the geography of access to markets and to sources...
