Abstract: Abstract Open Access versus Restricted Access in a General Equilibrium with Mobile Capital We consider an economy with two sectors, resource and manufacturing, in a general-equilibrium setting. Two property regimes in the resource sector are compared, open access versus restricted access, with both labor and capital mobility. We first contribute by deriving the multi-factor demand conditions under open access. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a factor to gain from a property regime change. Redistributive effects depend crucially on relative factor intensities. Contrary to common wisdom, labor may gain from being “expelled” from the resource sector following privatization.
