The core normative propositions of the theory of international trade have been established in the context of finite competitive economies of the Walras–Arrow–Debreu–McKenzie (WADM) type. Whether the propositions survive the recognition that economies might last for ever, with overlapping...

We consider two dynamic games of foreign aid. <link rid="ss3">Model 1</link> deals with the case where donor countries continually feel the warm glow from the act of giving. <link rid="ss32">Model 2</link> postulates that donors will stop giving aid when a target level of development is reached. In <link rid="ss3">Model 1</link>, there are multiple equilibria that...

In this paper, we complement the work of Kemp and Shimomura (2002) by considering the case of many donors playing a dynamic non-cooperative game of foreign aid. We consider two models. Model 1 deals with the case where donor countries continually feel the warm glow of from the act of giving....

Oil companies often announce revised estimates of their reserves. This indicates that stock uncertainty is a prevalent feature of natural resource industries. In this paper we consider the multi-deposit case where resource extraction produces information about the size of reserves. We show that...

In the present note we construct an overlapping-generations (OLG) example in which free trade is Pareto-improving and the world equilibrium chaotic. The example is simple, but it is not incompatible with the general model of Kemp and Wolik.

The conclusions of the 1976 Kemp-Wan proposition are shown to be substantially valid even if all tariff vectors, both pre-union and post-union, are optimally chosen.

This paper presents a dynamic general equilibrium model of multi-country, two-good and two-factor, in which both long-run growth and international trade patterns are examined. In each country, government expenditure on a public intermediate good plays a crucial role in the realization of...
