The Network Origins of the Gains from Trade
Bosker, Erik Maarten - 2019
In this paper, we develop a network perspective on the welfare gains from trade in today’s internationally fragmented supply chains. Towards this end, we study a Ricardian trade model featuring trade in final and intermediate products, and introduce a novel comparative statics approach to...

Technology, Market Structure and the Gains from Trade
Impullitti, Giammario; Licandro, Omar; Rendahl, Pontus - 2021
We study the gains from trade in a model with oligopolistic competition, heterogeneous firms and innovation, and provide a formula to decompose the mechanism. The new insight we provide is that market concentration can be a welfare-relevant feature of market power above and beyond markup...
