Comparative Advantage and Long-Run Growth
Open accessAbstract
We construct a dynamic, two-country model of trade and growth in which endogenous technological progress results from the profit-maximizing behavior of entrepreneurs.We study the role that the external trading environment and that trade and industrial policies play in the determination of long-run growth rates.We find that cross-country differences in efficiency at R&D versus manufacturing (i.e.comparative advantage) bear importantly on the growth effects of economic structure and commercial policies.Our analysis allows for both natural and acquired comparative advantage, and we discuss the primitive determinants of the latter.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
