Explaining Home Bias in Consumption: The Role of Intermediate Input Trade [PDF]

open access: yes
We show that 'home bias' in trade patterns will arise endogenously due to the co-location decisions of intermediate and final goods producers. Our model identifies four implications of home bias arising out of specialized industrial demands.
