Shift Working and Trade in Labor Services with Time Zone Differences
Kikuchi, Toru - 2011
Using a two-factor (labor and capital), two-good (shift-working and non shiftworking commodities) model with two countries (Home and Foreign) which are located in different time zones, we highlight the impact of trade in labor services (via communication networks) on the comparative advantage of...
