Abstract: | This paper draws the distinctions between the concepts of endogenous and exogenous comparative advantages and between the concepts of economies of specialization and scale. A comparison between the equilibrium model endogenizing the degree of specialization and endogenous comparative advantages, neoclassical trade model with exogenous comparative advantages, and an extended Dixit-Stiglitz model with a tradeoff between economies of scale and transaction costs is used to explore the equilibrium implications of the distinctions. |
