This paper employs a general equilibrium model of imperfect competition and trade in which capital is used to establish firms and labor is used for production. We show that two different types of equilibria may exist, one with factor price equalization and one with different factor prices. When...

Spanish Abstract: Mediante un modelo de equilibrio general computable, en el que se discrimina un sector informal en la economía, se modela el sector formal como un mercado de competencia monopolística. Además de incluir mercados de trabajo discriminados, este modelo también evalúa el...

A general equilibrium duopoly trade model is developed. In the micro model constant elasticity market demand curves produce backward bending reaction functions. This is combined with a macro analysis in which the real wage is determined competitively, while nominal variables depend on the money...

The label quot;Keynes-Negishi equilibriaquot; is attached here to equilibria in a monetary economy with imperfectly competitive product and labor markets where business firms and labor unions hold demand perceptions with kinks - as posited in Negishi's 1979 book Microeconomic Foundations of...

We study the incidence of offshoring, or trade in tasks, on firms’ productivity and on manufacturing employment in a standard economic-geography model with iceberg trade costs and a continuum of tasks. In a two-countries world where one country has a Hick’s neutral technological edge over...

In this paper a stylized CGE model is constructed to study the impact of liberalization of barriers for foreign providers of intermediate producer services under imperfect competition on the welfare, the downstream industry output, the prices of the factors of production and the pattern of...

We look at privatization in a general equilibrium model of a small, tariff-distorted, open economy. There is a differentiated good produced by both private and public sector enterprises. A reduction in government production in order to cut losses from such production raises the returns to...
