Gains from Trade
More Varieties
Lower Prices
6-19
Welfare effects Little impact on income distribution between different factor owners.
Gains from greater variety can offset losses in factor income resulting from inter-industry shifts in production.

Oligopoly and International Trade

Oligopoly and Trade Pattern
Production is concentrated in a few countries, which are net exporters, and other countries are importers.
6-22
What is behind this pattern ?
Comparative Advantage
Economies of Scale
6-23
Can this pattern be changed ?Not easily.
Scale Economies
New entrants may suffer losses for price reductions and competition from old firms.
6-24
Oligopoly and Gains from Trade
Oligopoly pricing
National support for high-profit oligopoly firms

(Long-run)
6-27
Welfare effects Producers in the exporting country tend to gain producer surplus despite of decline in price.
Producers in the importing country lose producer surplus.
Consumers in both countries gain consumer surplus.
6-28
Trade pattern
Similar to trade with substantial
internal economies of scale.
Determination of locations
• Size of domestic market
• Historical luck
• Government push
