| Abstract: | The paper develops a two-country, two-good model with national open access renewable resources. An appropriate analog of "factor proportions" is derived for the renewable resource case and linked to trade patterns and to the likelihood of diversified production. The resource importer gains from trade. However, a diversified resource exporting country necessarily suffers a decline in steady state utility resulting from trade, and may lose along the entire transition path. Thus the basic "gains from trade" presumption is substantially undermined by open access resources. Tariffs imposed by the resource importing country always benefit the resource exporter, and may be pareto-improving. |
