摘要：This paper uses firm-level data to determine if there are systematic differences in the export and domestic prices charged by Taiwanese electronics producers. The analysis exploits new micro data that allow us to measure firm-level prices in both the domestic and export market for each of 30 disaggregated products in 1986 and 24 products in 1991. We find a substantial difference in the average domestic and export price of most products but trace much of the difference to heterogeneity in price...

摘要：We study the effects of 'globalization' on income inequality in an economy where sellers with higher skills enjoy larger market shares and higher earnings. In our 'global' economy: (a) innovations in production and communication technologies enable suppliers to reach a larger mass of consumers and to improve the (perceived) quality of their products, and (b) trade barriers fall. When transport costs fall, income is redistributed away from the non-exporting to the exporting sector of the econom...

摘要：When examining the relationship between trade liberalization and income convergence across countries, it is important to distinguish between formal and actual periods of trade liberalization. Further-more, the degree of liberalization and the extent of trade between the liberalizing countries are important factors that influence the link between liberalization and convergence. Evidence suggests that postwar trade reforms in which major trade partners substantially reduced barriers on trade wit...

摘要：One of the strongest justifications for the existence of the trade adjustment assistance (TAA) program is that it reduces workers' lobbying efforts against trade liberalization. This paper tests the proposition that the government uses TAA to compensate workers for lost tariff protection. Consistent with this argument, a decline in tariffs over the previous year raises workers' chances of receiving adjustment assistance in some specifications of the model. Equity and efficiency considerations ...

摘要：Dramatic changes are occurring in the nature of international trade. Production processes increasingly involve a sequential, vertical trading chain stretching across many countries, with each country specializing in particular stages of a good's production sequence. We document a key aspect of these vertical linkages - the use of imported inputs in producing goods that are exported - which we call vertical specialization. Using input-output tables from 10 OECD and four emerging market countrie...

摘要：Are foreign production and exports substitutes or complements? Standard theory of the multinational corporation (MNC) assumes substitution, while previous empirical work examining the relationship has generally found strong evidence of complementarity. This study examines product-level data, which more closely fits the assumption of a single-product firm often used in MNC theory, and finds substantial evidence for both a substitution and a complementarity effect between affiliate production an...

摘要：This paper develops a dynamic general equilibrium model of R&D-generated growth without scale effects and knowledge-based trade of higher quality products between two structurally-identical countries. A product replacement mechanism coupled with a time-consuming job-matching process generates Schumpeterian unemployment. A global reduction in tariffs stimulates innovation and growth. It also raises the relative wage of skilled workers, motivating more individuals to undergo skill upgrading. In ...

摘要：This paper extends analysis of the GATT Uruguay Round by quantifying the impact of international patent harmonization as implied by the TRIPs agreement. Patent harmonization has the capacity to generate large transfers of income between countries, the US being the major beneficiary. Developing countries are major contributors to these transfers, but Canada, the UK, and Japan also make sizable contributions. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science BY All rights reserved.
