This chapter provides an overview of the first two decades of the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) an effort to support a standardized database and computable general equilibrium (CGE) modeling platform for international economic analysis. It characterizes GTAP in four different dimensions:...

We construct a theoretical model to capture the compensation and efficiency effects of globalization in a set up where … globalization- trade liberalization and financial openness- could potentially have different effects on taxation. We then provide … some empirical evidence on the relationship between taxation and the alternative modes of globalization using a large cross …

This paper sounds a caution to international trade economists, demonstrating that the equilibrium trade imbalances implied by most models of international investment disturb the symmetry between import tariffs and export taxes found by Lerner (1936). When trade is unbalanced, Lerner's...

In this paper we show that price equalization does not imply zero barriers to trade. There are many barrier combinations that deliver price equalization, but each combination implies a different volume of trade. We demonstrate this first theoretically in a simple two-country model and then...
