Job Market Paper Implications of International Trade on Economic Growth: An Approach from the Home Market Effect and Non Homothetic Preferences. Abstract: In spite of increasing globalization around the world, the effects of international trade on economic growth are not very clear. This article analyzes the implications of international trade on economic growth. I consider an endogenous economic growth model in an open economy with the Home Market Effect (HME) and non-homothetic preferences in order to identify some determinants of the different effects evident in this relationship. The results show how trade between very asymmetric countries leads to divergence in economic growth, while trade between similar countries produces convergence in the same variable, when knowledge spillovers are present. The results for welfare move in the same direction as economic growth since convergence implies increases in welfare for both countries, while divergence leads to increases in welfare for the largest country and the opposite for its commercial partner in the absence of knowledge spillovers. Work in Progress and Working Papers Productivity, Demand and Home Market Effect. Abstract: We consider a model of international trade with the Home Market Effect - with differences in income and productivity between sectors and between countries - in order to identify additional channels for determining the effects of international trade. Introducing nonhomothetic preferences and differences in productivity aids in the interpretation of any apparent paradoxes within international trade, such as the commercial relations between more populated countries like China and India and large economies such as the U.S. Population size, demand composition and productivity levels constitute the three main channels for determining the effects of international trade. Interactions among these channels define the results obtained in terms of industrialization, while welfare levels are always higher in relation to autarky. Catching up with the "Joneses", the Home Market Effect and Economic Growth. Abstract: I use a model of dynamic international trade to analyze the implications of international trade for the preferences of agents and economic growth. This model is based on the Home Market Effect with external habit formation (catching up with the "Joneses") and "learning by doing" in production. I show that the historical composition of consumption in
countries before trade determines industrialization after trade; that the preferences of agents converge after trade independently of the economic results; and that the welfare effects of trade may be positive or negative depending on trading partner characteristics. In some scenarios, autarky is strictly prefered to trade.
