Chapter 5 Fixed Transport Costs and International Trade

Didier Laussel and Raymond Riezman

A chapter in Contemporary and Emerging Issues in Trade Theory and Policy, 2008, pp 91-107 from Emerald Group Publishing Limited

Abstract: We develop a simple two-country model of international trade that assumes that there is a fixed cost of doing international trade. We show that this leads to multiple equilibria that can be Pareto-ranked. We examine the stability properties of these equilibria.
