Monopolistic Competition 垄断竞争 Modest Scale Economies

Oligopoly 寡头垄断 Substantial Scale Economies

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

(Short-run)

(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
