Scale Economies and Imperfect Competition in the GTAP Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
The universe of existing CGE models can be divided into 3 broad categories. The first class of models (of which the standard GTAP model is a classic example) emphasizes the static effects of policy related to general equilibrium resource reallocation. The second involves scale economics and imperfect competition and the third involves dynamic accumulation effects. Development of the second class of models has followed a long period during which many of the basic tenants of modern industrial organization theory were integrated into the core of mainstream trade theory. The resulting class of applied models emphasizes procompetitive effects. This paper presents techniques for the incorporation of several stylized representations of scale economies and imperfect competition into the GTAP modeling framework. A numerical example is also provided

متن کاملA Simple Model of Imperfect Competition with Walrasian Features
IMPERFECT competition is a pervasive part of modern industrial economies, where high levels of concentration in product markets often coexist with unionised labour markets. Most standard macroeconomic models, however, assume that markets are perfectly competitive. This paper provides a simple framework in which we are able to explore some of the implications of imperfect competition for the mac...
