| Biographical Sketch: I am the Xerox Professor of
Economics at the University of Rochester. My field is international
economics and most of my research has been on the pure theory of international
trade. Early papers have tended to concentrate on developing a set
of small-scale competitive trade models in a general equilibrium context.
More recently attention has shifted to trade theory in which some
inputs into the production process, or primary factors such as labor,
are traded or mobile in world markets. My recent book for M.I.T. Press,
Globalization and the Theory of Input Trade, (2000), summarizes much
of this work, including a discussion of the tendency recently in world
markets for firms to outsource fragments of the production process
to other parts of the globe where factor prices (especially wage rates)
give a better match with input requirements. I am joint author of
a textbook in the international area, World Trade and Payments, (joint
with Richard E. Caves and Jeffrey A. Frankel), (Addison Wesley), now
in its 9th edition. |
