TL;DR: This article showed that an increased foreign capital inflow into a protected sector is generally immiserizing and showed that if the protected sector produces an intermediate input, positive welfare effects may emerge.

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that the damaging property of the Harris-Todaro model, that capital accumulation causes unemployment to rise whereas labor growth causes it to fall, is at least partially rectified by the incorporation of land as a scarce factor in the agricultural sector.

TL;DR: It is described how intersectoral linkages can play a significant role in determining the employment effects of a tariff.
Abstract: In this paper a Harris-Todaro migration model is developed with the urban manufacturing sector supplying a crucial input for the rural sector. Capital is region specific but flows freely between two urban sectors. Final goods are traded and have exogenously fixed prices. If this economy imposes a tariff on the import-competing manufacturing sector employment might go down even if the protected sector is labour intensive. The paper describes how intersectoral linkages can play a significant role in determining the employment effects of a tariff. (SUMMARY IN FRE) (EXCERPT)

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider a situation where foreign capital is allowed to flow only into the export-processing zone of an economy characterized by unemployment and pursuing protectionary policy, and derive conditions under which growth induced by an increase in the flow of foreign capital will be immiserizing.
44 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derive and contrast various welfare effects of tariff-induced capital inflow and analyze the welfare implications of employment subsidy as the policy instrument in the presence of international capital mobility.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide the reader with some basic concepts from non-cooperative game theory, and then explore the strengths, weaknesses, and future of the theory as a tool of economic modelling and analysis.
Abstract: Over the past two decades, academic economics has undergone a mild revolution in methodology. The language, concepts and techniques of noncooperative game theory have become central to the discipline. This book provides the reader with some basic concepts from noncooperative theory, and then goes on to explore the strengths, weaknesses, and future of the theory as a tool of economic modelling and analysis. The central theses are that noncooperative game theory has been a remarkably popular tool in economics over the past decade because it allows analysts to capture essential features of dynamic competition and competition where some parties have proprietary information. The theory is weakest in providing a sense of when it - and equilibrium analysis in particular - can be applied and what to do when equilibrium analysis is inappropriate. Many of these weaknesses can be addressed by the consideration of individuals who are boundedly rational and learn imperfectly from the past. Written in a non-technical style and working by analogy, the book, first given as part of the Clarendon Lectures in Economics, is readily accessible to a broad audience and will be of interest to economists and students alike. Knowledge of game theory is not required as the concepts are developed as the book progresses.
