The Internationalization of the World Economy and Its Implication for National Welfare

Murray Kemp and Koji Shimomura

Review of International Economics, 1999, vol. 7, issue 1, 1-7

Abstract: There is no generally accepted definition of internationalization or globalization. The present paper offers three alternative definitions, in terms of (i) an enlargement of the set of trading countries, (ii) an enlargement of the set of traded commodities, or (iii) the international sharing of technology. It is shown that if each country adopts a Paretian scheme of internal compensation then internationalization in each sense leaves at least one country better off, and that if international compensation is admitted then internationalization in each sense makes every country better off.
