Decomposing the gains from trade in the presence of time-consuming consumption

Abstract

We examine the decomposition of the gains from trade when consumption is time consuming in a simple open economy setting. While trade remains welfare improving, the sources of trade gainfulness differ from those in conventional trade models. In particular, the conventionally defined exchange (consumption) and specialisation (production) gains vanish. There are, however, positive gains from time reallocation (away from production toward consumption) and specialisation associated with this time reallocation.
