Abstract:The author examines the impact of intensified North-South intra-industry trade from a growth theoretic perspective. He incorporates unemployment into Helpman's model of North-South trade (Econometrica 1993, p. 1247). It is shown that the shape of the relation between the rate of imitation and the steady-state growth rate depends on the degree of labour market flexibility, as measured by the outflow rate from unemployment.
