Constructing a two-good (a competitive and monopolized goods), two-primary factor (capital and labor) and two-country model of international trade where the monopolized sector is subject to increasing returns to scale, we establish an oligopolistic version of the Heckscher-Ohlin Theorem.

Constructing a two-good (competitive and imperfectly-competitive goods), two-primary factor (capital and labor) and two-country model of international trade where the imperfectly-competitive sector is subject to increasing returns to scale, we establish an oligopolistic version of the...

This paper presents a model of a socialist economy, incorporating bargaining over wages and employment in the socialized sector, efficiency wages in the non-socialized sector, and shortages which are reflected in the black market. The model is used to analyze the implications of liberalization...

Constructing a two-country oligopolistic model with product differentiation, this paper revisits welfare effects of free trade. The hybrid of procompetitive and variety expansion effects means that trade liberalization has definite benefits for the consumer, while it is contingent whether it is...

This paper develops a model of an export oligopoly to examine the welfare effects of an export tax reduction and a production tax increase that makes the foreign country no-worse off. Whether or not entry into the oligopolistic industry is free, the proposed policy reform is shown to reduce...

This paper develops a two-country general equilibrium model to examine the welfare effect of tariff-tax reforms that fix the world price. We show that this reform improves welfare if an origin tax is adjusted, but that it reduces welfare if a destination tax is used. Moreover, this result is...
