| Tiivistelmä: | Trade costs are a major obstacle to international economic integration. In the footsteps of the approach of New Open Economy Macroeconomics, this paper inspects the impacts of international trade costs in a micro-founded general equilibrium model that allows for different magnitudes of exchange rate pass-through. Trade costs are verified to create an endogenous home bias in consumption. The model performs well in matching empirical trade proportions for OECD countries. In addition, trade costs diminish cross-country output and consumption correlations, and they intensify exchange rate volatility. Trade costs change a monetary expansion to a beggar-thy-neighbor policy. |
