Endogenous Tariff Formation with Intra-Industry Trade
Previous theoretical contributions on endogenous tariff formation have focused on trade models with homogeneous goods and constant returns to scale. This paper investigates the political equilibrium of trade policy when economic structure is instead characterized by differentiated products and increasing returns to scale and there exists intra-industry trade. The result shows that endogenous ta...
متن کاملInvestment-Specific Technological Change, Skill Accumulation, and Wage Inequality
Wage inequality between education groups in the United States has increased substantially since the early 1980s. The relative number of college-educated workers has also increased dramatically in the postwar period. This paper presents a unified framework where the dynamics of both skill accumulation and wage inequality arise as an equilibrium outcome driven by measured investmentspecific techn...
متن کاملWage Inequality and Innovative Intelligence-Biased Technological Change
In this paper, “innovative intelligence–biased technological change” (IIBTC) is examined as an alternative to the traditional concept of skill-biased technological change (SBTC) as a source of increases in wage inequality. The innovative intelligence of ordinary or average workers is an important element in productivity and can be heterogeneous across workers. Because technologies are heterogen...
متن کاملWage inequality, technology, and trade
Recent widening of the wage gap between skilled and unskilled workers has been attributed mainly to skill-biased-technical-change and to trade liberalization. This paper examines the effects of the two in a unified model, in which trade and technology adoption are endogenous. The paper has two main results. First, technical progress increases the wage gap in developed and in less developed coun...
متن کاملEndogenous Growth, Skill-Biased Technical Change and Wage Inequality
In this contribution, we present an endogenous growth model which essentially extends the idea of the paper by Murphy, Riddell and Romer (1998). In that paper, the authors assume that technical progress leads to wage differentials between high-skilled workers and unskilled workers. As technical progress occurs, the relative marginal productivity of different input changes. Yet, if there is suff...
