| Tiivistelmä: | A model of the North American auto industry is developed to investigate the policy questions raised by the possibility of a North American Free Trade Agreement. The possible reorganization of plants, rationalizing parts production and the number of models per plant are examples of issues of considerable interest. In the model the automobile activity is aggregated into a single commodity, finished autos. The simplified structure of the industry allows modelling important elements of scale economies, imperfect competition, and especially the trans-border price and output coordination by multinational firms. |
