(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1998-07-21)We characterize optimal trade and industrial policy in dynamic oligopolistic markets. If governments can commit to future policies, optimal first-period intervention should diverge from the profit-shifting benchmark to an ...

(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1991-11-25)This paper introduces a new measure, the Trade Restrictiveness Index, which measures the restrictiveness of a system of trade protection. The index is a general equilibrium application of the distance function and answers ...

(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1990)This paper examines a two-way interaction between trade liberalization and economic growth. Through dynamic increasing returns to specialization, international trade can increase world growth rates. But growth, through ...

(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1992-12-15)In this paper, we investigate techniques for measuring the trade policy equivalent of domestic distortions, using a distance function approach. Our measure, the Trade Restrictiveness Index, is shown to equal the uniform ...

(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1994-06-16)This paper develops a two-country model of trade and factor mobility in which capital is sector-specific but internationally mobile. The model avoids the implausible predictions of specialisation in Heckscher-Ohlin models ...

(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1995-08)This paper examines the free-market and socially-optimal outcomes in a dynamic oligopoly model with R&D spillovers. First-best optimal subsidies to R&D are higher when firms play strategically against each other, but lower ...

(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1993-09-11)This paper examines the responsiveness of real income and the balance of payments to external shocks in a small open economy. It is shown that tariff restrictions and age rigidities tend to increase responsiveness and quota ...

(University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1994-11)The measurement of protection has been a key stumbling block for economists seeking to establish an empirical link between trade policy and growth. This note comments on a theoretically based index of protection recently ...
