We find that if inequality across countries is low, the extensive margin of trade between countries … is high whereas the world growth rate is low. The introduction of non-homothetic preferences rises a number of …

We analyze how trade openness matters for interstate conflict over productive resources. Our analysis features a terms-of-trade channel that makes security policies trade-regime dependent. Specifically, trade between two adversaries reduces each one’s incentive to arm given the opponent’s...

We consider a dynamic setting in which two sovereign states with overlapping ownership claims on a resource/asset first arm and then choose whether to resolve their dispute violently through war or peacefully through settlement. Both approaches depend on the states’ military capacities, but...

This paper presents a new model of oligopoly in general equilibrium and explores its implications for positive and normative aspects of international trade. Assuming “continuum-Pollak” preferences, the model allows for consistent aggregation over a continuum of sectors, in each of which a...

We derive a simple equation for the welfare gains from trade when tariffs are liberalized or iceberg trade costs fall. Covering various one-sector trade models that may or may not feature extensive margins and imperfect competition, we generalize the analysis of Arkolakis, Costinot and...

This paper examines the relationship between trade (exports), growth, and inequality, using a panel of 100 countries … of trade (exports) on growth. The findings are that in general trade openness advances growth while inequality reduces … growth. However, when we identify an inequality threshold, we find that inequality is positively associated with growth if …
