The Structure of Foreign Trade
Helpman, Elhanan - 1998
During the last two decades, new research has greatly advanced our understanding of the structure of world trade. This article reviews the empirical literature that grew out of this effort, emphasizing the ways in which it relied on theoretical developments

Increasing Returns and All That : A View From Trade
Antweiler, Werner - 2000
Do scale economies contribute to our understanding of international trade? Do international trade flows encode information about the extent of scale economies? To answer these questions we examine the large class of general equilibrium theories that imply Helpman-Krugman variants of the Vanek...

The Choice of Structural Model in Trade-Wages Decompositions
Abrego, Lisandro - 1999
This paper explores the use of structural models as an alternative to reduced form methods when decomposing observed joint trade and technology driven wage changes into components attributable to each source. Conventional mobile factors Heckscher-Ohlin models typically reveal problems of...

Trade, Technology and U.K. Wage Inequality
Haskel, Jonathan - 1999
The U.K. skill premium fell from the 1950s to the late 1970s and then rose very sharply. This paper examines the contributions to these relative wage movements of international trade and technical change. We first measure trade as changes in product prices and technical change as TFP growth....

Do Endowments Predict the Location of Production? Evidence from National and International Data
Bernstein, Jeffrey R. - 1998
Examining the relationship between factor endowments and production patterns using international and Japanese regional data, we provide the first empirical confirmation of Ethier's correlation approach to the Rybczynski theorem. Moreover, we find evidence of substantial production indeterminacy....

Technology, Factor Supplies and International Specialization : Estimating the Neoclassical Model
Harrigan, James - 1996
The standard neoclassical model of trade theory predicts that international specialization will be jointly determined … by cross-country differences in relative factor endowments and relative technology levels. This paper uses duality theory …-neutral technology differences are measured using an application of the theory of total factor productivity comparisons, and factor …
