Entry assumptions and welfare gains from trade

Abstract

When productivities are not Pareto distributed, welfare gains from trade are not necessarily isomorphic between entry assumptions. Under exogenous entry, the extra adjustment in dividends dampens the relative increase in real wage as trade costs decline, resulting in lower welfare gains than under free entry.
