Abstract
This paper is an outgrowth of a joint research project with Gene Grossman, without whom it could not have been conceived. Part of my work on the paper was done during a brief visit to MITI’s Research Institute of International Trade and Industry in Tokyo, to which I am most grateful for its hospitality. I also would like to thank the National Science Foundation, the Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation for financial support, and for partial funds supplied to The Foerder Institute for Economic Research by Keren Rauch.
