First published in 1981, this groundbreaking book offers a comprehensive and systematic exploration of the introduction of non-traded and non-competitive intermediate goods into the pure theory of international trade. It presents a multitude of well-known propositions within the realm of international trade, elucidating them through the use of simple and illustrative geometric concepts. Moreover, it seamlessly integrates numerous significant insights and original research, presenting a thorough and exhaustive survey of the literature in this field. This book is divided into two parts. Part One serves as a straightforward geometric treatment of a model of international trade involving non-traded goods, delving into discussions of renowned propositions such as the Rybczynski and Stolper-Samuelson theorems. Part Two presents an elegant four-quadrant diagram, which serves as a valuable tool for analyzing the role of non-competitive intermediate goods in the real-world theory of trade. Within this diagram, various major propositions, including theorems on gains from trade and tariff, are explored within a first-best and distortionary framework.
