Abstract

If all firms are well informed and rational, it is not possible for a country to be more efficient than all other countries in producing an y particular commodity. For if a country were uniformly more efficient than other countries, it would have an incentive to share its superio r technology with them. Copyright 1988 by Royal Economic Society.
