Institutionalism and New Trade Theory: Rethinking Comparative Advantage and Trade Policy

Thomas Palley

Journal of Economic Issues, 2008, vol. 42, issue 1, 195-208

Abstract: Gomory and Baumol (2000), and Samuelson (2004) have raised concerns about international trade’s future impact on U.S. national income. The focus is how globalization may affect the size and distribution across countries of gains from trade. Though their analysis is developed using a pure trade theoretical framework, it has strands in common with institutionalist thinking. Their findings spotlight the need for a new U.S. trade policy agenda aimed at maximizing the U.S. share of gains from trade, and complementing conventional Keynesian open economy macroeconomic analysis.
