In this paper, we analyze the trade war between two large countries when the trade policy is decided through majority … voting. We show how the trade war equilibrium depends on the median voter production factor relative endowment. We compare … this equilibrium to the one analyzed by Johnson where the trade policy is driven by an utilitarian benevolent dictator. …

This paper estimates the effects of trade liberalization on plant productivity. In contrast to previous studies, we … distinguish between productivity gains arising from lower tariffs on final goods relative to those on intermediate inputs. Lower … output tariffs can produce productivity gains by inducing tougher import competition whereas cheaper imported inputs can …

Numerous studies have investigated the link between trade policy and firm productivity. Despite justifying firm level … constrain all firms to have the same expected response to changes in trade policy. In this paper we develop a theoretical model … changes in trade policy will also be heterogeneous in terms of both sign and size. The variation in firm level reaction is …

We carry out an indirect inference test of two versions of a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of world trade …. One of these, the 'classical' model,is well-known as the Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson model of world trade, in which … countries trade homogeneous products in world markets and produce according to their comparative advantage as determined by …
