An Elementary Proposition on Technical Progress and Non-traded Goods

No 18, Working Papers from College of Business, University of Texas at San Antonio

Abstract: We explore the e ect of technical progress on the endogenously determined range of non-traded goods by using a Ricardian model with continuum of goods. By de ning technical progress on the basis of proportional changes in the relative productivity across sectors, we show that the range of non-traded goods decreases if technical progress is unbiased or if it is biased toward the goods that a country has more comparative advantage.
