Intermediation and Economic Integration [PDF]
American Economic Review, 2010 The theory of international trade has paid scant attention to market institutions. Neither neoclassical theory nor new trade models typically specify the process by which supply and demand meet.

ECONOMIC INTEGRATION, POLITICAL INTEGRATION OR BOTH? [PDF]
Journal of the European Economic Association, 2011 We study the effects of economic and political integration by presenting a model in which firms compete with each other in both an economic market—where they produce a good and compete for market share—and in a political (rent seeking) market—where they compete for transfers from the government.

Are Political and Economic Integration Intertwined? [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2019 AbstractEconomic incentives play a key role in the decision to run for office, but little is known on how they shape immigrants' self‐selection into candidacy. We study this question using a two‐period Roy model, and show that if returns to labour market experience differ between migrants and natives, then this will affect the relative likelihood to ...

Economic integration and redistribuitive taxation [PDF]
Research Papers in Economics, 2006 We set up a simple political economy model where economic integration raises the profitability of multinational firms. In this setting redistributive taxation may rise following economic integration, if the effects of the widened income gap dominate the higher excess burden of the tax.
