Increasing returns, monopolistic competition, and international trade: Revisiting gains from trade
Journal of International Economics. 2022. Vol. 137. Article 103595.
We study the canonical Krugman (1979) trade model with non-CES preferences that yield autarky at finite trade costs. We prove a non-monotone impact of gradual trade liberalization. At first, near autarky, emerging trade reduces world welfare, while at free trade it becomes large enough to be beneficial (Krugman's result). This non-monotonicity persists under heterogenous firms. The harmful small-scale trade is explained by variable markups and underpriced
imports, which become socially excessive. Unlike protectionists, we argue that “liberalization should go far”. On the other hand, we show that anti-dumping measures can be viewed as a remedy for the aforementioned imports distortion. ©

We derive bounds on the gradient and Hessian of the log-CDF, ln F(x), of the multivariate normal distribution. These bounds scale linearly and quadratically in ‖x‖ , respectively, with constants depending only on the covariance matrix. We demonstrate the usefulness of these bounds by proving asymptotic normality of the maximum-likelihood estimator of the multivariate probit ...

The impact of state subsidies on Russia's post-Soviet dairy output remains controversial; this study provides an empirical analysis of that relationship. Using an unbalanced panel dataset of 123 dairy enterprises in the Leningrad Region spanning the period from 2010 to 2023, we employ stochastic frontier analysis to assess these relationships. The results indicate that subsidies ...

The paper is the first attempt in the Russian literature to assess returns to platform employment in the Russian labor market. The theory offers no clear predictions regarding its impact on workers’ earnings: there might be both a premium and a penalty. We distinguish three groups of workers: employees; self-employed using internet-platforms; self-employed not using ...

The study quantitatively assesses the impact of sanctions on the Russian economy from 2022 to 2024 by estimating the losses due to sanctions and identifying the factors that shaped GDP during this period. The assessment is based on a vector autoregressive model with exogenous variables (VARX). The model examines GDP and its key components: gross fixed ...

In the face of rising sustainability expectations and limited resources, startups must balance financial objectives with ESG (environmental, social, and governance) goals under uncertainty. This study examines how ESG behavior influences external resource acquisition, financing choices, and strategic outcomes in early-stage enterprises. Drawing on the entrepreneurial learning perspective, we argue that startups refine ESG strategies ...

This article examines financial innovations in the Russian corporate bond market as a response to structural changes in the economy following 2022. The tightening of monetary policy has led to prohibitively high interest rates for domestic companies, while the sanctions have closed access to external capital markets. Despite these constraints, Russian firms have successfully adapted ...

We revisit Krugman’s (J Int Econ 9(4):469–479, 1979.) classical trade model in its general form with several asymmetric countries and unspecified additive utility functions. We present the weakest known conditions on utilities sufficient for the existence of equilibrium. These conditions are also necessary under symmetric preferences. Using the same method for Bertoletti and Etro’s (Econ ...

This paper develops a modeling technique of “attainable profit” functions, applying it to two models of monopolistic competition. First, it revisits the Krugman's classical trade model in the most general form: several asymmetric countries and non-specified additive utility functions. We establish the weakest conditions on utilities, sufficient for the existence of equilibria. These conditions are ...

События последних лет указывают на развивающиеся в мире автаркические тенденции в научно-технологической сфере. В статье на основе нескольких кейсов рассматривается, как эти процессы протекают в российской науке. Изучаются параметры циркуляции исследователей, международное научное сотрудничество и его регулирование, инициированные государством изменения в грантовом финансировании исследований и подходы к строительству установок класса «мегасайенс». Циркуляция кадров в науке пока слабо выражена, причем приток происходит в основном из СНГ, а отток – в страны с развитой наукой. ...

Our novel approach enriches the general additive monopolistic competition model with a space of product characteristics: consumers’ “ideal varieties”. This paper bridges two traditions in modelling markets with horizontal product differentiation: the Hotelling’s (Econ J 39(153):41–57, 1929) “address economy” and Chamberlinian Dixit–Stiglitz monopolistic competition. Unlike Hotelling, our partially localised competition involves intersecting zones of service among producers. ...

We analyses strategic interactions among developers in Saint Petersburg and region. Despite strong theoretical evidences to be strategic market, there are no strategic interactions among firms, so the market exhibits monopolistic competition pattern. However, the situation is reversed after legislations changes that severs regulations and financial constraints for developer. Market now shows that prices are ...
