Neighbour‐Immiserizing Growth: The Asian Crisis

E. Kwan Choi

The Japanese Economic Review, 2001, vol. 52, issue 4, 405-416

Abstract: This paper investigates the effects of population growth and China’s entry into the world trading regime on the North and the South. In the absence of the terms of trade effect, population growth reduces the standard of living and causes a decline in welfare. Unilateral trade liberalization of China will worsen the terms of trade for other countries in the South, but will improve those for the North. Thus, population control is an important means to close the gap in per capita income between developing and developed economies. Trade liberalization by developing countries may not necessarily induce income convergence. JEL Classification Number: F1.
