Heterogeneity and Trade

Abstract:
Aggregate production functions are a standard feature of the trade theorist's toolbox. While this modeling device has generated some fundamental insights, it presents one obvious shortcoming: it necessarily ignores any effect that the distribution of factor endowments across agents may have on international trade flows. This paper develops a general fraemwork that can shed light on these effects and discusses several applications.
