The Home Market Effect and Bilateral Trade Patterns
By Gordon H. Hanson and Chong Xiang Abstract. We develop a monopolistic-competition model of trade with many industries to examine how home-market effects vary with industry characteristics.

We test this ...
متن کاملThe Home Market Effect and Patterns of Trade Between Rich and Poor Countries
This paper proposes a new theoretical framework for studying the patterns of trade between rich and poor countries by incorporating nonhomothetic preferences into the standard home market effect models of trade. It has a continuum of Dixit-Stiglitz monopolistic competitive sectors with iceberg trade costs. There are two countries, which may differ in their per capita labor endowment and the pop...

This paper analyzes the welfare implications of international spillovers related to productivity gains, changes in market size, or government spending. We introduce trade costs and endogenous varieties in a two-country general-equilibrium model with monopolistic competition, drawing a distinction between productivity gains that enhance manufacturing efficiency, and gains that lower the cost of ...

In afocal case in which differentiated and homogeneous goods have identical transport costs, the home ...

In Round Three we relax another persistent assumption of convenience–two industry types differentiated ...
