Factor price frontiers with international fragmentation of multistage production
Kohler, Wilhelm - 2003
I develop a generalized factor price frontier which incorporates endogenous adjustment of international fragmentation in multistage production, allowing for a continuum of stages. This allows us to address fragmentation, not only as an exogenous event, but also as an integral part of endogenous...

A Dual Definition for the Factor Content of Trade and its Effect on Factor Rewards in US Manufacturing Sector
Delis, Agelos; Mamuneas, Theofanis P. - 2008
In this paper, first we introduce a dual definition of the Factor Content of Trade (FCT) using the concept of the equivalent autarky equilibrium. A FCT vector is calculated by estimating a symmetric normalized quadratic revenue function for the US manufacturing sector for the period 1965 to...

Can trade really hurt? : An empirical follow-up on Samuelson's controversial paper
Bitzer, Jürgen (contributor); Görg, Holger (contributor);  … - 2008
This paper investigates Samuelson's (JEP, 2004) argument that technical progress of the trade partner may hurt the home country. We illustrate this prospect in a simple Ricardian model for sitations with outward knowledge spillovers. Within this framework Samuelson's "Act II" effects may occur....

The changing relative price of skill-intensive goods
Gäckle, Christian (contributor);  … - 2006
Based on the conceptual results of Findlay, Grubert (1959) and Krugman (2000) we analyze the movement of the relative price of skill-intensive goods under skill-biased technological change and the countervailing effect of increasing world-wide supply of low-skilled-labor. While the labor supply...
