Constructing a two-good (competitive and imperfectly-competitive goods), two-primary factor (capital and labor) and two-country model of international trade where the imperfectly-competitive sector is subject to increasing returns to scale, we establish an oligopolistic version of the...

Constructing a two-country, two-good, two-factor model of international trade under quasi-linear utility functions, we obtain a Modified Heckscher-Ohlin (MHO) Theorem that relates the trade pattern to the international distribution of factor endowments. We also show that the MHO Theorem survives...

We formulate a dynamic game model of trade in an exhaustible resource with a quantity-setting cartel. We compute the feedback Nash equilibrium and two Stackelberg equilibria under two different leadership scenarios: leadership by the strategic importing country, and leadership by the exporting...

This paper develops a two-country general equilibrium model to examine the welfare effect of tariff-tax reforms that fix the world price. We show that this reform improves welfare if an origin tax is adjusted, but that it reduces welfare if a destination tax is used. Moreover, this result is...

Constructing a dynamic game model of trade of an exhaustible resource, this paper compares feedback Nash and Stackelberg equilibria when the exporting country sets quantity rather than price. We consider two different leadership scenarios: leadership by the importing country, and leadership by...

Constructing a model of oligopoly with free entry, this paper examines the effects of a tariff reduction accompanied with a unit of consumption tax increase on welfare, government revenue, and market access. We show that the suggested policy reform reduces welfare while enhancing government...
