Specialization patterns in a dynamic Heckscher-Ohlin (HO) model with endogenous capital accumulation are examined in the presence of free international lending and borrowing. Without free international lending and borrowing it is known that, whereas the less (time-) patient country decumulates...

This paper analyzes the dynamics of a 2 × 2 × 2 Heckscher-Ohlin model where foreign asset holdings and capital accumulation are independently determined by optimizing agents. Each country has two production sectors, both of whose products are used for consumption, and an investment sector,...
