International trade in a model with heterogeneous trade costs, parallel imports and non-homothetic preferences∗

In my model, high trade costs may be responsible for export zeros. The level of tariffs and transportation costs are crucial for patterns of international trade. I find ...

Trade can reverse an economy's autarkic growth trajectory, and a country with a high savings rate runs a current account surplus. If a surplus country expands agg...

Institutional quality is determined as an equilibrium of ...
