A report on "Two-factor model of international trade: a short-term balance" by Research Fellow Sergey Kichko

S. Kichko

On March 16 a report on "Two-factor model of international trade: a short-term balance" by Research Fellow Sergey Kichko.

We develop a two-factor trade model with monopolistic competition, a variable elasticity of substitution and trade cost. We show that the country endowed with more capital is a net exporter of manufactured good and its capital price is smaller. The relative GDP share of the capital-endowed country is smaller than its relative share in capital. Last, dumping or reverse dumping may aim depending on consumers' altitude towards variety love and countries relative capital endowment.
