Comparative Advantage, Terms of Trade and Welfare Effects of European Integration: Some Preliminary Assessments
Haaland, Jan I. - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 1990
The paper presents a first attempt at assessing general equilibrium effects of 1992. Two kinds of general equilibrium effects are relevant: one (dampening) effect stemming from the common resource constraints, the other one related to the fact that the relative competitiveness of industries may...

Trade and Location with Horizontal and Vertical Multi-Region Firms.
Ekholm, K.; Forslid, R. - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 1998
This paper analyses the effect on agglomeration tendencies of allowing firms to become multi-region firms in a standard model of trade and location. More specifically, we introduce horizontal and vertical multi-region firms into the core-periphery (CP) model developed by Krugman (1991). The...

Sizing Up the Impact of Embassies on Exports
Ferguson, Shon; Forslid, Rikard - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2014
The purpose of this study is to test for the effects of trade promotion via the foreign service. We develop a Melitz-based model where firms are heterogeneous with respect to productivity and must pay a beachhead cost to enter a foreign market, which can be reduced by government spending on...

Vertical Distribution, Parallel Trade, and Price Divergence in Integrated Markets
Ganslandt, Mattias; Maskus, Keith E. - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2005
We develop a model of vertical pricing in which an original manufacturer sets wholesale prices in two markets that are integrated at the distributor level by parallel imports (PI). The manufacturing firm needs to set these two prices to balance three competing interests: restricting competition...

Firm Heterogeneity and Country Size Dependent Market Entry Cost
Åkerman, Anders; Forslid, Rikard - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2009
This paper introduces a market size dependent firm entry cost into the Melitz (2003) model. This is a relatively small generalisation, which preserves the analytical solvability of the model. Nevertheless, our model yields several new results that are in line with data. First, the average...

National Standards and International Trade
Ganslandt, Mattias; Markusen, James R. - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2001
Standards and technical regulations which govern the admissibility of imported goods into an economy raise costs of exporters entering new markets, and may have a particularly high impact on firms seeking to export from developing countries. Yet standards may also have a positive side, such as...

Reciprocal Dumping with Bertrand Competition
Friberg, Richard; Ganslandt, Mattias - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2005
This paper examines if international trade can reduce total welfare in an international oligopoly with differentiated … goods. We show that welfare is a U-shaped function in the transport cost as long as trade occurs in equilibrium. With a … Cournot duopoly trade can reduce welfare compared to autarchy for any degree of product differentiation. Under Bertrand …

Strategic Investment and Market Integration.
Ganslandt, M. - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2001
The competitive effect of international market integration in industries with imperfect competition is of great policy interest. This paper focuses on the link between monopolization and market segmentation. It presents a model of multi-market entry deterrence with or without market commitments....
