Klepper, Gernot; Stähler, Frank - 1995
policy may even imply an increased resource use. In this case, a large part of the sustainability objective is met by … substituting domestic resource extraction by imports. When sustainability is modelled in an inter temporal, competitive framework …, the paper shows that the sustainability rule will not lead to a slower rate of extraction of the resource. …

Climate policy and trade: Dynamics and the steady-state assumption in a multi-regional framework
Springer, Katrin - 1999
Most dynamic trade models assume steady state or balanced growth. This paper argues while this can be done in a single region model or a model without trade, the steady state assumption is problematic in a multi-regional setting with trade interactions. This paper shows the consequences of...

International trade, factor mobility and the persistence of cultural-institutional diversity
Belloc, Marianna; Bowles, Samuel - 2009
Cultural and institutional differences among nations may result in differences in the ratios of marginal costs of goods in autarchy and thus be the basis of specialization and comparative advantage, as long as these differences are not eliminated by trade. We provide an evolutionary model of...
