Earlier models of smuggling involve indeterminate equilibria for individual firms, but they are deficient in their tr eatment of risk and/or transport costs. A model is constructed for an intra-EEC type of framework with due regard to such costs. Unique eq uilibria result. Smuggling of agricultural goods is an increasing-cos t industry, not because of implausible/unspecified externalities as i n some earlier papers, but because of increasing transport costs as t he extensive margin for smuggling is expanded. Predictions of the mod el are supported by studies of trade between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Copyright 1988 by The London School of Economics and Political Science
