We revisit the adoption of voluntary export restraints (VERS) in the differential Cournot game with sticky price and intraindustry trade by Dockner and Haug (1991). The analysis relies on linear and nonlinear feedback strategies, to encompass the special cases considered in Fujiwara (2010) and...

This paper uses an augmented gravity model to investigate the relevance of the Linder hypothesis in bilateral intra-industry trade in services. Results reveal a qualitatively similar but stronger impact of differences in income and income inequality on intra industry trade compared to total...
