Abstract: This paper develops a multi-country endogenous growth model to investigate possible causes for the existence and persistence of trade patterns among countries with different preferences and production functions and perfect international capital mobility. Private consumption and savings are derived from maximizing utility level which is dependent upon current levels of wealth and consumption at each point of time. We show how differences in preferences and production functions may affect the trade patterns in the dynamic competitive world economy.
