摘要:
This paper examines the resource allocation and welfare effects of international trade when a nation is composed of distinct regions and capital is mobile interregionally. The introduction of capital mobility significantly alters the regional consequences of free trade. It is shown, for example, that it is possible that the source of the nation's export expansion is the region that is at a technological disadvantage in the production of the export good. Also, that region whose comparative advantage coincides with that of the nation as a whole may see its welfare decrease with free trade.
