We formulate a two-country endogenous growth model which explain joint determination of long-run trade patterns and world growth rates. After providing the existence and local stability of the continuum of balanced growth paths, we show that main standard trade propositions hold under some...

This paper presents a simple overlapping generations model of small open economy with child-parent externality that exhibits chaotic equilibrium dynamics.

We show that even under socially constant returns to scale indeterminacy, i.e., a continuum of dynamic general equilibrium paths converging to a common steady state, can arise in a dynamic Heckscher-Ohlin model with production externality and endogenous time preference in which production is...

We derive a new transversality condition (which we prove to be necessary) for a class of infinite horizon optimal control problems.

This paper connects a traditional topic in trade theory with a new topic in economic dynamics in a simple two(-country) by two(-good) dynamic general equilibrium (dge) model by showing that the transfer paradox, or the donor-enrichment and recipient-impoverishment transfer, is possible if and...

We build an overlapping generations model of endogenous growth driven by human capital formation. Young people differ in their innate abilities, but these differences are not known even by the individuals themselves when they are going through the process of education, so that there are no...

We show that the Kemp-Wan proposition concerning the formation of customs union holds under conditions of imperfect competition and increasing returns.

This paper introduces a new duality concept, factor income function, in order to establish the factor Price Equalization theorem and the Heckscher-Ohlin theorem in an oligopolistic Heckscher-Ohlin model with increasing returns to scale.

Constructing a two-country, two-good, two-factor model of international trade under quasi-linear utility functions, we obtain a Modified Heckscher-Ohlin (MHO) Theorem that relates the trade pattern to the international distribution of factor endowments. We also show that the MHO Theorem survives...
