During the last few decades an important feature of the on-going process of globalization is production fragmentation. Owing to the growing importance of international fragmentation of production processes the composition of international trade has indeed altered in recent years. Here we want to focus on production fragmentation which actually implies that the requirement for the intermediate goods can be met by producing it domestically or it can be imported from abroad. In this paper we want to examine the probable causes for a developing economy to switchover from a regime of no fragmentation to fragmentation. Here the impact of such a regime change has also been examined on wage inequality as well as on the incidence of skill formation within the economy. Moreover, we have examined here the impact of perfect international capital mobility on the economy in the context of regime change between fragmentation and no fragmentation. © 2020 World Scientific Publishing Company.

A dynamic model of forestry for the dryland areas of West Bengal

In this paper, we construct a three-sector general equilibrium model of a small open economy with an informal sector and examine the impact of a less protectionist policy on output levels, factor prices, and the level of urban employment. We show that the urban unemployment rate has reduced with the contraction of an import-competing manufacturing sector consequent upon tariff reductions. The informal intermediate sector has contracted as well. A possibility to expand the exportable agricultural sector exists, with an increased wage rate. Our analysis is then extended to introduce foreign capital inflow and examine the output effects and the level of unemployment. Interestingly, in the extended model, urban unemployment is aggravated as a result of an inflow of foreign capital. © 2018 The Applied Regional Science Conference (ARSC) and John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd

ECONOMIC LIBERALIZATION, THE INFORMAL SECTOR, AND URBAN UNEMPLOYMENT: A THEORETICAL ANALYSIS

Liberalization and Welfare Conditions of a Developing Economy: A General Equilibrium Analysis

Export of quality of health services to the foreign consumers is considered as a popular way of health trade in the South in recent years. Trade in quality of health services may suffer from the problem of quality signalling from the point of view of the patients of the North. Actually, patients of the North are misdirected by the quality of health services if proper signalling is not provided by the health quality producers of the South. Again signalling incurs some cost and hence production and export of high quality health services becomes unprofitable to the health quality producers of South. Hence, there exists a definite demand-supply mismatch regarding health quality. To capture the issue of quality signalling in the context of health services we want to develop a partial equilibrium framework, where the producer of the health quality in South, we refer to it as Multinational Health Service Provider (MNHSP), may enjoy some amount of monopoly power as this MNHSP has some special skills or it may introduce new quality of health services. The model shows that a movement from autarky to no autarky situation leads to, under reasonable conditions, a decline in signalling costs associated with high quality health services and also leads to an overall increase in demand for high quality health services in the South. © Springer India 2016.

Trade liberalisation, health care and International: role of health capital mobility

This article attempts to relate the issues of health care quality with international trade. For this purpose we have mixed both flavours of Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson and Neo-Heckscher-Ohlin frameworks and have developed a hybrid type of trade theoretic general equilibrium model. In such a set-up we have shown that a movement from a regime of international health capital immobility to a regime of international health capital mobility may lead to an expansion of the size of the health quality exporting sector and at the same time such type of regime switch may lead to a contraction of quality of this health care sector. Moreover, from the hybrid model we have illustrated that the sizes of health care and composite export sector expand, whereas import sector of our small open economy contracts. © 2015 Indian Institute of Foreign Trade.

Health Care Quality vs Health Care Quantity: A General Equilibrium Analysis

This paper delves into the complex relationship between health trade through international fragmentation and health trade through commercial presence. A neo-classical full employment four sector static general equilibrium model has been developed, where the three sectors produce final products except the health intermediate goods producing sector. The paper shows that expansion of health trade through commercial presence implies, under some reasonable conditions, enhancement of the volume of health trade through international fragmentation. It also shows that the composite volume of trade in health services through international fragmentation and commercial presence increases the size of the health care in our stylised small open economy. © 2014 The Pakistan Development Review.
