Abstract: |
This paper examines the relationship
between the supply of a congestible public input and the pattern of
international trade in the context of an extended Heckscher-Ohlin model.
It is shown that differences in the supply of a public input alone can
determine the pattern of trade even if (i) both industries derive equal
benefits from the public input and (ii) the public and the private
sectors are equally capital intensive. Congestion within an industry and
congestion across industries are considered separately. |
