â â â â â â  â  abstract â  outward-oriented economies seem to grow faster than inward-looking ones. does the literature on convergence have anything to say on this? in the dynamic heckscher-ohlin-samuelson model, with factor-price equalization, there is no convergence of incomes. this is because with identical preferences and return to capital, irrespective of initial levels the growth rates of consumption are the same. in the specific factors model, there is factor price equalization in the long run, but incomes depend on endowments of non-accumulable factors. different specifications for the intersectorally mobile factors have different implications for development (as well as convergence). â  â  â

Carbon Leakage in a Small Open Economy with Capital Mobility

When international prices and foreign environmental policies are unaffected by domestic actions, carbon leakage is generated through the substitution of carbon-intensive domestic products with imports. This paper studies this “small open economy” leakage effect, using a numerical general equilibrium model of the Italian economy. The comparison of alternative simulation scenarios highlights that...

Human Capital Accumulation and Endogenous Growth in a Dual Economy

This paper develops an endogenous growth model of a dual economy where human capital accumulation is the source of economic growth. The dualism between the rich individuals and the poor individuals exists in the mechanism of human capital accumulation. Rich individuals allocate labour time not only for their own production and knowledge accumulation but also to train the poor individuals. Stead...

Trade, Urbanization and Capital Accumulation in a Labor Surplus Economy
