Growing through trade in intermediate goods: the role of foreign growth and domestic tariffs Álvarez Albelo, Carmen Manresa, Antonio, 1954- Pigem-Vigo, Mònica Comerç exterior Creixement econòmic Foreign trade Economic growth We show that pure Ricardian trade can account for the empirical evidence that domestic growth is more affected by foreign growth than by trade openness. To do this, we develop a two‐country model involving a backward economy that exchanges intermediate goods with a faster growing country. We obtain three main results regarding growth and welfare of the backward economy: (i) the growth‐enhancing comparative advantage is facilitated by faster foreign growth; (ii) the growth rate may be negatively affected or unaffected by a domestic tariff, while it is always positively impacted by foreign growth; and (iii) a domestic tariff could be welfare‐improving. 2019-07-02T08:16:28Z 2020-09-30T05:10:27Z 2018-09 2019-07-02T08:16:28Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Versió postprint del document publicat a: https://doi.org/10.1111/sjpe.12169 Scottish Journal of Political Economy, 2018, vol. 65, num. 4, p. 414-436 https://doi.org/10.1111/sjpe.12169 (c) Scottish Economic Society, 2018 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Wiley Articles publicats en revistes (Economia)
