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...

The Frankel-Romer-Lucas theory of endogenous growth rests on the assumption of knowledge-based externalities and price-taking representative households. It is argued that, in a context of long-run growth, these assumptions are mutually incompatible (that representative households will co-operate...

We extend the Barro (1990) model of endogenous growth to a two-sector one which consists of pure consumption and investment goods. It is possible that the extended version has a unique balanced growth rate such that for given initial values of state variables, (i) the extended model economy...

This paper connects a traditional topic in trade theory with a new topic in economic dynamics in a simple two(-country) by two(-good) dynamic general equilibrium (dge) model by showing that the transfer paradox, or the donor-enrichment and recipient-impoverishment transfer, is possible if and...

We show that indeterminacy arises nadiscrete-time competitive two-country dynamic model of international trade in which externalities, imperfect competition, public goods, and government intervention are assumed away. The present model is a standard dynamic trade model in the sense that there is...

We show that even under socially constant returns to scale indeterminacy, i.e., a continuum of dynamic general equilibrium paths converging to a common steady state, can arise in a dynamic Heckscher-Ohlin model with production externality and endogenous time preference in which production is...

This paper introduces sector-specific externalities in the Heckscher-Ohlin two-country dynamic general equilibrium model to show that indeterminacy of the equilibrium path in the would market can occur. Under certain conditions in terms of factor intensities, there are multiple equilibrium paths...

We formulate a two(-country) by two(-tradable good) by two(-factor) dynamic general equilibrium model of endogenous growth and international rade that has no market distortion. After deriving the conditions for a balanced growth path with incomplete specialization in both countries to exist and...

In the present note we construct an overlapping-generations (OLG) example in which free trade is Pareto-improving and the world equilibrium chaotic. The example is simple, but it is not incompatible with the general model of Kemp and Wolik.

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.
