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-country, two-good, two-factor model of international trade under quasi-linear utility functions, we obtain a Modified Heckscher-Ohlin (MHO) Theorem that relates the trade pattern to the international distribution of factor endowments. We also show that the MHO Theorem survives...

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 constructs a two-sector model of two-period lived overlapping generations with endogenous occupational choice where ability-heterogeneous agents choose whether to become educated when young and henceforth to become skilled when old. We show that endogenous occupational choice in this...

PTAs are generally negotiated without any tariff concessions or transfers to non-member countries. Can such a PTA benefit the neighbors' welfare? In a two-good competitive equilibrium model in the absence of an entrepôt, a PTA without concessions to the outside will hurt the outsider's welfare...

This note formulates a dynamic two-country (developed and developing countries) Chamberlin-Heckscher-Ohlin model of trade with endogenous time preferences a la Uzawa (1968). We examine the relationship between initial factor endowment differences and trade patterns in the steady state. In...

We develop a model of international trade with increasing returns to scale by taking into account the possibility of cooperation among agents in an egalitarian economy. It is shown that each country gains from trade in a trading world in which there are arbitrary numbers of...

In two-sector infinite-horizon trade models with factor–price-equalization, convergence of aggregate capital-labor ratios and incomes does not occur because the Euler equations imply equal growth rate of consumption in all economies. In a two-country dynamic specific factors model, we show...

We present a simple two(-country) by two(-good) differental game model of international trade in which the governments of the two countries play a tariff-setting game. We explicitly derive a unilateral optimum tarifff rate and then a Markov-perfect equilibrium pair of tariff strategies...
