The Effects of Energy Price Changes on Commodity Prices, Interprovincial Trade and Employment
The Services Agenda: Essay in International Economics
Trade in Producer Services: A Heckscher-Ohlin Approach
Trade in services has become topical, but little theory has been developed. This paper assumes that one commodity and the services of capital are tradable and examines the traditional trade results. Service trade can produce the same equilibrium as commodity trade, but substantial differences exist depending on whether the tradable commodity is capital or labor intensive. Tariffs on either commodity have the same commodity price effects and will …
The Interregional Effects of Canadian Tariffs and Transportation Policy
Regional Inequalities in Canada: Underlying Causes and Policy Implications
Quoique les disparites regionales en revenu par tete, ainsi que dans les taux de chomage et de productivite soient bien connues et quantifiles au Canada, il est surprenant de constater que tres peu de recherches n'ont ete faites dans les causes theoriques de ces diffdrences.

The Effects of Energy Price Changes on Commodity Prices, Interprovincial Trade, and Employment
The Tax Structure and Canadian Trade
Technological Change, Factor Intensity Reversals, and Trade
There is no shortage of literature on the effect of technological change on trade patterns (see for example Johnson, 1958, or Kemp, 1970), and the question of the effects of factor intensity reversals has received considerable attention. A question that has not been considered, however, is whether technological change could result in the reversal of factor intensities, and if so what the effect on the pattern of production and trade would be. Of …
On the Equivalence of Community Indifference and the Aggregate Consumption Function
There exist in the economic literature two quite different types of macroeconomic models; the Keynesian unemployment model and the classical model employed in trade theory. As both are aggregate models, in both we have the question of the conditions under which the various central parameters of the two can be aggregated. While the same basic kinds of aggregation problems arise on the production side of these two models, there would appear to be d…
On the Derivation of the Production Possibility Curve
The main purpose of this paper is to present, for a two-commodity world, a method of deriving the production possibility curve directly from the isoquant diagram. While two such derivations exist in the literature, those of Savosnick and Travis,2 their techniques are not useful for all purposes. In particular, neither allows the comparison of the shapes of the production possibility curves under alternative production conditions, such as is the c…
