Abstract This paper introduces asymmetric demand into an open-economy model. Domestic industries exhibit different export capabilities, and the export market attaches different preferences to them. My model shows how exports influence the market structure and productivity growth. If an industry exports more, the firms within the industry would face a higher domestic-market but lower export-mark...

Picture a small open economy in the North Atlantic Ocean, highly dependent on trade with the EU and NAFTA. How important are these trading blocs to the country’s exports? How important is the country’s location and size, and how do these affect the export sectors? A unique version of the gravity model is applied here using an inverse hyperbolic sine function. Typically, the export volume is sig...

This paper considers the implications of relationship-specific investment within keiretsu for policies aimed at opening the Japanese market for intermediate goods, such as auto-parts. Both VIEs applied to parts and VERs restricting Japanese exports of autos cause the keiretsu to import a wider range of parts, but of a relatively unimportant type, such as seat covers. Since keiretsu investment a...

Using Vector Autoregressions on U.S. time series, the present paper documents the effects of fiscal policy on foreign trade: an increase in government spending significantly depreciates the nominal exchange rate, appreciates the terms of trade and increases net exports. Exposed to the same spending shock, a New Keynesian general equilibrium model is shown to match qualitatively the response of ...

Over this period annual diffuse exports of dissolved reactive P (DRP) increased by 238%, from 17 to 57 kg P km22 with an annual rate increase of 1.6 6 0.3 kg P km22 yr21. Dissolved unreactive P exports increased by 0.4 6 0.2 kg P km22 ...

Iran is one f the biggest oil producer and exporter of the world. Due to the special administrative and constitutional structure of the country, i.e. economic, social and political reasons, the government budget and revenues depend heavily on oil exports. The aim of this article is to suggest a theoretical proposal on the optimum level of non-oil exports such that it will clear up the idea of e...

this paper investigates the short- run and long-run effects of government size and exports on the economic growth of iran as a developing oil export based economy for the period of 1974 - 2008 using an autoregressive distributed lags (ardl) framework. a modified form of feder (1982) and subsequently ram’s (1986) model has been applied to include both government size and exports in growth equati...
