摘要：Using several independent data sets, we investigate the relationship between gender and corruption.

摘要：We construct a general equilibrium trade model of a two-class small open host or source country.

When consumption tax revenue is equally distributed among domestic households in each country, then migration has an ambiguous impact on social welfare in either country. When tariff revenue in either country is either equally distributed a...

Instead, many old capital goods remain in use, albeit less intensively than the newer machines. In addition, si...

摘要：Capital inflow is generally immiserizing when the capital intensive import competing sector is tariff protected and profits are repatriated in full. In this paper, we construct a model with increasing returns, embedded in a monopolistically competitive market to show that capital inflow might lead to higher factor income and interestingly enough, growth of import competing sector might lead to still higher imports. Thus, two distinct possible channels are identified through which welfare might...
