Germany exhibits a strong reduction in domestic manufacturing production depth (bazaareffect). I argue that this reflects an unbundling of comparative advantage. Using a modelwhere Ricardian plus Heckscher-Ohlin-type comparative advantage relates to fragments ofproduction, I compare a trading...

We investigate the consequences of redistribution policy on migration and trade in a Standard two-good Heckscher-Ohlin framework. With free trade and factor price equalization, abolishing migration barriers is redundant. With the introduction of government activity, matters change drastically....

This article focuses on an apparent conflict between the standard trade theory and available empirical evidence on factor flows. Theoretically, labor and capital flows must be substitutes. However, empirical papers find migration and FDI to be either substitutes or complements, depending upon...

This paper examines the relationship between trade liberalisation and migration in the case of Mexico. The increasing bilateral trade between Mexico and the United States after signing the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was supposed to stem the illegal Mexican migration flow by...

Policy projections and recent research suggest that large numbers of irregular migrants from sub-Saharan Africa will continue to attempt to make their way to Europe over the next few decades. In response, European countries have made and continue to make significant investments in information...
