Sustainability and international trade in resources
Klepper, Gernot; Stähler, Frank - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 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. …

Why the theory of comparative advantage is wrong
Fletcher, Ian - In: International Journal of Pluralism and Economics Education 2 (2011) 4, pp. 421-429
The theory of comparative advantage is widely misunderstood to demonstrate the universal superiority of free trade. In fact, the theory depends upon a number of key assumptions and fails if they are relaxed. Empirically, many of these assumptions are highly questionable, if not demonstrably...

Trade and the Political Economy of Redistribution
Vannoorenberghe, Gonzague; Janeba, Eckhard - CESifo - 2013
This paper analyzes the effects of trade liberalisation on the political support for policies that redistribute income between workers in different sectors. We allow for worker heterogeneity and imperfect mobility of workers across sectors, giving rise to a trade-off between redistribution and...

Migration and trade with external economies of scale
Collie, David R. - 2007
The analysis of migration in Findlay (1982) is extended by adding external economies of scale to the Ricardian model as in Ethier (1982). With external economies, the larger country always gains from trade but the smaller country may lose from trade unless the external economies of scale are...
