Book ChapterDOI
Chapter 7 Increasing returns, imperfect markets, and trade theory
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors surveyed the theory of international trade in the presence of economies of scale and monopolistic competition, with an emphasis on predictions of trade patterns and gains from trade.
Journal ArticleDOI
Internal versus external economies in European industry
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present estimates of indexes of internal returns to scale and external economies for two-digit manufacturing industries in four European countries for which the requisite data are available in adequate length: West Germany, France, the U.K., and Belgium.
ReportDOI
The Role of External Economies in U.S. Manufacturing
TL;DR: This paper developed a method for joint estimation of both the degree of internal returns to scale and the extent of external economies and applied the method in estimating return to scale indexes for U.S. manufacturing industries at the two-digit level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trade Liberalisation and Shadow Prices in the Presence of Tariffs and Quotas

Journal ArticleDOI
International trade in the presence of product differentiation, economies of scale and monopolistic competition: A Chamberlin-Heckscher-Ohlin approach
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a generalization of the Heckscher-Ohlin theory by admitting the existence of sectors in which there is monopolistic competition and show that the intersectoral pattern of trade can be predicted from factor endowments but not from pre-trade commodity prices or factor rewards.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Structure of Simple General Equilibrium Models
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an extended model for demand endogenous substitution, aggregate elasticity of substitution, convergence to balanced growth, and saving behavior of technology change, including the Magnification Effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intra-industry trade under perfect monopolistic competition*
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply the analysis of perfect monopolistic competition to the problem of intra-industry trade and show that a high volume of intra industry trade can be expected even between economies which are identical in all respects and thus between which no trade would be predicted on the basis of comparative advantage.
Journal ArticleDOI
International Capital Movements and the Theory of Tariffs and Trade
TL;DR: In this paper, the optimal tax policy with free trade and optimal tariff policy with mobile capital is presented. But the model is not complete and full optimization and complete specialization is not considered.
