  • 演講摘要 : We present a dynamic two-country model of international trade with endogenous time preference. We show that if the two countries have similar preferences, production technologies, and labor endowments, there exists a unique and stable steady state such that both consumption and investment goods are produced in both countries. Unlike the case of constant time preferences, the steady state is independent of the initial international distribution of capital. We prove a dynamic Heckscher-Ohlin theorem such that the labor-abundant country exports the labor-intensive good.
