Locational Competition Under Environmental Regulation When Input Prices and Productivity Differ
Conrad, Klaus - 2001
The purpose of the paper is to outline an analytical framework which captures the ample scope of locational competition: cost differences, resulting from differences in factor prices including taxes, human capital, infrastructure services and total factor productivity. If cost differences are...

Can trade really hurt? : An empirical follow-up on Samuelson's controversial paper
Bitzer, Jürgen (contributor); Görg, Holger (contributor);  … - 2008
This paper investigates Samuelson's (JEP, 2004) argument that technical progress of the trade partner may hurt the home country. We illustrate this prospect in a simple Ricardian model for sitations with outward knowledge spillovers. Within this framework Samuelson's "Act II" effects may occur....

The changing relative price of skill-intensive goods
Gäckle, Christian (contributor);  … - 2006
Based on the conceptual results of Findlay, Grubert (1959) and Krugman (2000) we analyze the movement of the relative price of skill-intensive goods under skill-biased technological change and the countervailing effect of increasing world-wide supply of low-skilled-labor. While the labor supply...

Geography, non-homotheticity, and industrialization : a quantitative analysis
Breinlich, Holger; Cuñat, Alejandro - 2012
We propose a quantitative framework for the analysis of industrialization in which specialization in manufacturing or agriculture is driven by comparative advantage and non-homothetic preferences. Countries are integrated through trade but trade is not costless and geographic position matters....

Heterogeneous technology diffusion and Ricardian trade patterns
Kerr, William R. - 2013
This study tests the importance of Ricardian technology differences for international trade. The empirical analysis has three comparative advantages: including emerging and advanced economies, isolating panel variation regarding the link between productivity and exports, and exploiting...
