Foreign Capital and Protectionism
The Canadian Journal of Economics, 1992In terms of a simple model, it is shown that the growth in the export processing zone through an influx of foreign-owned capital reduces welfare for an economy importing capital-intensive goods and following a protectionary policy. Similarly, it follows that growth in the export-processing zone should benefit economies importing labor-intensive goods.

The discussion of ‘Foreign Capital and Foreign Exchange in Take-off’ is planned for the end of the ten-day conference and by the time this is reached the preliminary ground of whether take-off is an historically ...

Tied to Capital or Untied Foreign Aid?
Review of Development Economics, 1998A two‐country trade model of foreign aid is developed. The aid‐receiving country suffers from Harris‐Todaro type unemployment. Aid is either untied, tied to sector‐specific capital, or tied to intersectorally mobile capital. These types of aid are compared by examining their terms‐of‐trade and welfare effects to show that (i) welfare paradoxes are ...

This applies to local capital as well as to foreign capital.
