International Trade and Search
The standard model of international trade based on Dixit-Stiglitz theory of monopolistic competition originally developed by Helpman and Krugman is extended to allow for costly search and matching between producers of different varieties and retailers. This extension provides a new way of characterizing how the economy is divided in closed and open sectors. Trade policies will naturally have an effect on this division. The entry and exit of retailers and producers is modeled. It is shown that these (both gross and temporarily also net) flows (and the associated job flows) are affected by policies. Tariffs increase gross flows of retailers relative to producers. Gross flows will also be increased in the sector favored by policies. This provides a potentially fruitful hypothesis for empirical work. In contrast to the standard model, trade policies have also an effect on the scale of output by individual producers. Finally, the welfare effects of tariffs are surprising. Tariffs can improve welfare if they switch enough productive resources from the producers in the matching process relative to producers already matched and producing. This result is new to the literature.
Ahlfors-David regular sets and bilipschitz maps
Given two Ahlfors-David regular sets in metric spaces, we study the question
whether one of them has a subset bilipschitz equivalent with the other
Strong Marstrand theorems and dimensions of sets formed by subsets of hyperplanes
We present strong versions of Marstrand's projection theorems and other
related theorems. For example, if E is a plane set of positive and finite
s-dimensional Hausdorff measure, there is a set X of directions of Lebesgue
measure 0, such that the projection onto any line with direction outside X, of
any subset F of E of positive s-dimensional measure, has Hausdorff dimension
min(1,s), i.e. the set of exceptional directions is independent of F. Using
duality this leads to results on the dimension of sets that intersect families
of lines or hyperplanes in positive Lebesgue measure.Comment: 8 page
