Factor Accumulation and Trade: Dynamic Comparative Advantage with Endogenous Human Capital
This paper develops a two country endogenous growth model with accumulation of both physical and human capital. We establish the existence of two country balanced growth equilibria with physical and human capital growing at the same rate in which a static and dynamic version of the Heckscher-Ohlin hypothesis hold true. We also show the existence of unbalanced growth equilibria in which the stat...
متن کاملNo . 590 ENDOGENOUS HUMAN CAPITAL ACCUMULATION , COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE AND DIRECT VS . INDIRECT REDISTRIBUTION
Recently, several papers have re-examined the so-called production efficiency theorem and the Atkinson and Stiglitz theorem on commodity taxes in the optimal taxation literature. Naito (1999) showed that indirect redistribution through production distortion or consumption distortion can Pareto-improve welfare and that the two theorems do not necessarily hold when different factors are imperfect...
متن کاملThe Wages of Sinistrality: Handedness, Brain Structure, and Human Capital Accumulation
Leftand right-handed individuals have different brain structures, particularly in relation to language processing. Using five data sets from the US and UK, I show that poor infant health increases the likelihood of a child being left-handed. I argue that handedness can thus be used to explore the long-run impacts of differential brain structure generated in part by poor infant health. Even cond...
متن کاملProperty rights, mobile capital, and comparative advantage
Recent papers show that imperfect property rights to a natural resource–a sector-specific factor– can be a source of comparative advantage. In these models, weaker property rights attract labor–the only mobile factor– to the resource sector, increasing the country’s comparative advantage for that sector. If capital in addition to labor is mobile, and if the benefits of capital are non-excludabl...
متن کاملProduct Cycle, Knowledge Capital and Comparative Advantage∗
This paper empirically investigates the effect of product cycle on comparative advantage for countries with different knowledge capital endowment. Product cycle is the exogenous nature of technology evolution in each industry. Longer product cycle means new discovery takes longer time to arise. Meanwhile the imitation of existing innovation is easier in industries with longer product cycles. St...
