The standard neoclassical model of trade theory predicts that international specialization will
be jointly determined by cross-country differences in relative factor endowments and relative
technology levels. This paper uses duality theory combined with a flexible functional form ...

Bilateral, product-level data exhibit a number of strong patterns that can be used to evaluate
international trade theories, notably the spatial incidence of “export zeros”(correlated with
distance and importer size), and of export unit values (positively related to distance). We ...

Abstract This paper uses a monopolistic competition model and 1983 cross-country data on
trade barriers, trade flows, and manufacturing production to estimate the import-reducing
effects of trade barriers. Data on non-tariff barriers come from UNCTAD, and data on tariffs ...
The core subjects of trade theory are the pattern and volume of trade: which goods are
traded by which countries, and how much of those goods are traded. The first part of the
paper discusses evidence on comparative advantage, with an emphasis on carefully ...
J Harrigan - Journal of International Economics, 1999 - Elsevier
International trade economists typically assume that there are no cross-country differences
in industry total factor productivity (TFP). In contrast, this paper finds large and persistent TFP
differences across a group of industrialized countries in the 1980s. The paper calculates ...

Transport time increases with distance traveled, and time is valuable. We show the
implications of these facts for global specialization and trade: products where timely delivery
is important will be produced near the source of final demand, where wages will be higher ...

This paper uses data on manufacturing output and factor endowments for 20 OECD
countries from 1970 to 1985 to examine the production side of the factor proportions model.
Under well-known conditions, there will be a linear Rybczynski relationship between ...
J Harrigan - Journal of international economics, 1996 - Elsevier
How open are the advanced economies to trade with each other? In this paper, openness is
calculated relative to the predictions of the monopolistic competition trade model using data
on manufacturing trade and production in the OECD in 1985. The paper finds that (1) ...

This paper offers a theoretical explanation of why previous attempts to statistically explain
intra-industry trade have been unsuccessful, and proposes an econometric approach that
tests the implications of the monopolistic competition model for the volume of trade. Using ...
Wage inequality in the United States has increased, and many suspect that the main causes
are changes in technology, international competition, and factor supplies. Our empirical
model estimates the general equilibrium relationship between wages and technology, ...
A core prediction of the Heckscher-Ohlin theory is that countries specialize in goods in which
they have a comparative advantage, and that the source of comparative advantage is
differences in relative factor supplies. To examine this theory, we use the most extensive ...
Wage inequality in the United States has increased since the late 1970s, a trend that
coincides with an increase in imports. General equilibrium trade theory suggests that these
trends may be related, and the theory suggests where to look for links. The purpose of this ...

How do labor markets adjust to trade liberalization? Leading models of intraindustry trade
(Krugman (1981), Melitz (2003)) assume homogeneous workers and full employment, and
thus predict that all workers win from trade liberalization, a conclusion at odds with the ...

An important element of the cost of distance is time taken in delivering final and intermediate
goods. We argue that time costs are qualitatively different from direct monetary costs such as
freight charges. The difference arises because of uncertainty. Unsynchronised deliveries ...

Abstract International trade economists typically assume that TFP for each industry is the

Apparel is the archetypal labor-intensive footloose manufacturing industry. It is also very
distorted by protection. This protection is unusually opaque, as world trade in textiles and

Abstract Quota restrictions on United States imports of apparel and textiles under the

Abstract China's trade pattern is influenced not just by its overall comparative advantage in

Airplanes are a fast but expensive means of shipping goods, a fact which has implications
for comparative advantage. The paper develops a Ricardian model with a continuum of
goods which vary by weight and hence transport cost. Comparative advantage depends ...
Abstract: Despite predictions to the contrary, the Asia crisis had only modest overall effects
